MRNAseq of human sputum macrophages and alveolar-like monocyte-derived macrophages of healthy controls and NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) patients

ABSTRACT: NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) represents a particularly severe endotype of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), which affects around 10-16% of CRSwNP patients. N-ERD is characterized by severe and refractory nasal polyposis, bronchial asthma and intolerance to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin. Today, the pathogenesis of N-ERD remains incompletely understood and curative treatments are lacking. Macrophages are important source and target cells of arachidonic acid metabolites during type 2 inflammation, that have been neglected in N-ERD pathogenesis despite their presence in the nasal mucosa of N-ERD patients. Using a global transcriptomic approach, we identified systemic and local changes in macrophages between N-ERD patients and healthy controls. We isolated macrophages from induced sputum (sMac) and compared them to 7-days in vitro-differentiated, alveolar-like monocyte-derived macrophages (aMDM). Cells were lysed in RLT buffer with 1% beta-mercaptoethanol and stored at -80°C until RNA isolation and RNAseq. Since sMac yield of healthy controls was low, we pooled RNA of three donors (= sample S1) but excluded the data from subsequent analyses. Thus Analysis 1 shows the intra-group comparison of N-ERD sMac vs. N-ERD aMDM. In a second analysis (Analysis 2), we compared N-ERD aMDM vs. healthy control aMDM for transcriptome differences present in monocyte (blood)-derived cells.
