Viscoelastic properties of ECM differentially regulate monocyte patterns of gene expression
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Myelofibrosis (MF) is a progressive, bone marrow (BM) malignancy associated with monocytosis, and is believed to promote the pathological remodelling of the extracellular matrix. Here, we show that the mechanical properties of MF, namely the liquid-to-solid properties (viscoelasticity) of BM, contribute to aberrant differentiation of monocytes. Human monocytes cultured in stiff, elastic hydrogels show pro-inflammatory polarization and differentiation towards dendritic cells, as opposed to those cultured in a viscoelastic matrix.
