ABSTRACT: Acute malaria infection with P. chabaudi obliterates embryonically seeded tissue-resident red pulp macrophages in the spleen of C57Bl/6J mice - regardless of whether the infection is mild (mosquito transmitted P. chabaudi AS - no hyperparasitaemia, no measurable clinical manifestations of disease other than low-grade anaemia) or severe (mosquito transmitted P. chabaudi AJ - acute hyperparasitaemia, severe anaemia, hypothermia and prostration). Red pulp macrophages return 100 days later, once mice cleared parasitaemia. We then flow sorted 10,000 red pulp macrophages (lineage-, autofluorescent, F4/80+, B220-, CD11bint, CD11cint) directly into Trizol, extracted total RNA and analysed their transciptome using the affymetrix mouse exon 1.0 ST array. Red pulp macrophages from mice once infected with mild AS or severe AJ P. chabaudi parasites were compared to uninfected age-matched mice. We uncover that red pulp macrophages isolated from the spleens of once-malaria infected mice are transcriptionally identical to prenatally seeded red pulp macrophages from uninfected mice. The spleen tissue niche thus imprints an identical functional profile onto these cells - regardless of their origin.
