Macrophages from Rosa26-integrated Cas9-expressing C57BL/6 mice have a putative TRIF-mediated defect in the TLR-3/4 signaling

ABSTRACT: In this study, we report that the TLR4 ligand, LPS, and TLR3 ligand polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid failed to activate IRF3 or STAT1 in bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMMs) isolated from two independently generated lines of Rosa26-integrated Cas9-expressing C57BL/6J (B6) mice. RNA-sequencing analysis reveals that hundreds to thousands of genes including IFN-stimulated genes were differentially expressed in BMMs from these Cas9 strains compared with B6 upon LPS stimulation. Furthermore, the NF-kB signaling axis and TRIF-mediated necroptosis were also strongly reduced in response to LPS and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid. In contrast, there were no defects in the responses of BMMs to ligands of the RIG-I, STING, TLR2, TLR9, and IFN receptors. Defects in TLR3 and TLR4 signaling were observed in mice with the B6 but not 129 background, and when Cas9 was integrated at the Rosa26 but not H11 locus. However, integration at the Rosa26 site, CAG promoter–driven Cas9 or eGFP were not individually sufficient to cause the defect. Taken together, the results of this study suggest a putative TRIF-mediated defect in TLR-3/4 signaling in BMMs from commercially available and widely used B6–Cas9–expressing mice.

Project description:Background: Toll-like family of receptors recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) from different organisms. TLR4 is the receptor for bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), dsRNA viral mimic poly(I:C) binds to TLR3, and bacterial CpG DNA signals through TLR9. TLR4 signaling is mediated by adaptor molecules Myd88 and TRIF while TLR3 pathway involves only the TRIF adaptor and TLR9 signals solely through Myd88. Methods: To identify genes other than those in TLR pathways that mediate macrophage response to different PAMPs, RAW264.7 cells were stimulated with LPS, poly(I:C), or CpG DNA, and RNA was profiled on microarrays 6 hrs and 24 hrs post-treatment. Gene expression data were analyzed to determine genes, pathways and transcriptional networks that are in common and unique to each of the three TLR stimuli. Potentially novel candidates revealed by this analysis were tested for their role in innate immunity using RNA interference. Results: Many genes are differentially regulated by LPS and poly(I:C) at both 6 hrs and 24 hrs following treatment, while CpG DNA elicits a much less pronounced transcriptional response. By analyzing gene expression data for networks and pathways, we prioritized differentially expressed genes that are in common to all three PAMPs as well as those shared by LPS and poly(I:C). Knockdown by RNA interference of two genes, Plec1 and TPST1, inhibited production of IL-6 in response to LPS in cultured macrophages. Conclusions: We have identified novel innate immunity genes that may be important in macrophage response to LPS, poly(I:C), and CpG DNA stimuli. Our results provide potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets that should be further investigated in mice and human populations. Keywords: time course For each treatment (Sigma LPS, LIST LPS, and media only), three biological replicates (separate macrophage cultures and RNA isolations) were profiled. Each sample was labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 and co-hybridized with Stratagene Universal Mouse Reference (dye flip techical replicates). Expression at 2 timepoints (6 and 24 hours post-treatment) was assessed.
