Meta-Analysis of in vitro-Differentiated Macrophages Identifies Transcriptomic Signatures That Classify Disease Macrophages in vivo.

ABSTRACT: Macrophages are heterogeneous leukocytes regulated in a tissue- and disease-specific context. While in vitro macrophage models have been used to study diseases empirically, a systematic analysis of the transcriptome thereof is lacking. Here, we acquired gene expression data from eight commonly-used in vitro macrophage models to perform a meta-analysis. Specifically, we obtained gene expression data from unstimulated macrophages (M0) and macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) for 2-4 h (M-LPSearly), LPS for 24 h (M-LPSlate), LPS and interferon-? (M-LPS+IFN?), IFN? (M-IFN?), interleukin-4 (M-IL4), interleukin-10 (M-IL10), and dexamethasone (M-dex). Our meta-analysis identified consistently differentially expressed genes that have been implicated in inflammatory and metabolic processes. In addition, we built macIDR, a robust classifier capable of distinguishing macrophage activation states with high accuracy (>0.95). We classified in vivo macrophages with macIDR to define their tissue- and disease-specific characteristics. We demonstrate that alveolar macrophages display high resemblance to IL10 activation, but show a drop in IFN? signature in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Adipose tissue-derived macrophages were classified as unstimulated macrophages, but acquired LPS-activation features in diabetic-obese patients. Rheumatoid arthritis synovial macrophages exhibit characteristics of IL10- or IFN?-stimulation. Altogether, we defined consensus transcriptional profiles for the eight in vitro macrophage activation states, built a classification model, and demonstrated the utility of the latter for in vivo macrophages.

Project description:There is substantial genomic heterogeneity among Staphylococcus aureus isolates of children with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) but transcriptional behavior of clinically differentiated strains has not been previously described. This study evaluates transcriptional activity of S. aureus isolates of children with AHO that may regulate metabolism, biosynthesis, or virulence during bacterial growth and pathogenesis. In vitro growth kinetics were compared between three S. aureus clinical isolates from children with AHO who had mild, moderate, and severe illness. Total RNA sequencing was performed for each isolate at six separate time points throughout the logarithmic phase of growth. The NASA RNA-Sequencing Consensus Pipeline was used to identify differentially expressed genes allowing for 54 comparisons between the three isolates during growth. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment pathways were used to evaluate transcriptional variation in metabolism, biosynthesis pathways and virulence potential of the isolates. The S. aureus isolates demonstrated differing growth kinetics under standardized conditions with the mild isolate having higher optical densities with earlier and higher peak rates of growth than that of the other isolates (p<0.001). Enrichment pathway analysis established distinct transcriptional signatures according to both sampling time and clinical severity. Moderate and severe isolates demonstrated pathways of bacterial invasion, S. aureus infection, quorum sensing and two component systems. In comparison, the mild strain favored biosynthesis and metabolism. These findings suggest that transcriptional regulation during the growth of S. aureus may impact the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in the progression of severity of illness in childhood osteomyelitis. The clinical isolates studied demonstrated a tradeoff between growth and virulence. Further investigation is needed to evaluate these transcriptional pathways in an animal model or during active clinical infections of children with AHO.
