RNA-seq of THP-1-derived macrophages infected with R. conorii and R. montanensis (1 hpi) against uninfected cells.

ABSTRACT: R. conorii (pathogenic) and R. montanensis (non-pathogenic) display opposite survival versus death phenotypes in macrophage-like cells, respectively. We herein employed a global transcriptomic profiling of host responses to infection (1hpi) of human THP-1 macrophages with R. conorii and R. montanensis. Shortly, total RNA was harvested from uninfected, R. conorii- and R. montanensis-infected THP-1 macrophages, DNA was removed from RNA purification (DNAse treatment), ribosomal RNA was depleted and cDNA libraries were constructed. The samples were sequenced using an Ion Proton V2 chip on Ion Chef Instrument. The programmes Cufflinks and Cuffmerge were used to map transcripts and calculate gene expression, and Cuffdiff was used to calculate which samples had genes, which were statistically significantly differentially expressed between conditions.
