Gene expression analysis of mouse alveolar macrophages and whole-blood from mice with contained Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to measure the impact of contained infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (CMTB) on the immune response of alveolar macrophages (AMs) to intracellular Mtb infection in vivo and on the circulatory cellularity. We characterized the transcriptional profile of murine AMs in CMTB and control mice by sorting cells from whole-lung lysates and performing RNA-sequencing (samples 1-6). We also characterized the transcriptional profile of murine Mtb-infected AMs after aerosol infection by sorting cells from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and performing low-input RNA-sequencing (samples 7-12). In order to characterize changes in chromatin accessibility induced by CMTB, we performed ATAC-seq on AMs isolated from control and CMTB mice by BAL (samples 13-18). We also generated whole-blood transcriptomes from mice prior to and following the establishment of CMTB (samples 19-28) in order to characterize the circulatory cellularity.
