Expression data from pig BMDM treated with salmonella LPS

ABSTRACT: Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) grown in macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) have been used widely in studies of macrophage biology and the response to toll-like receptor agonists. We investigated whether similar cells could be derived from the domestic pig. Cultivation of pig bone marrow cells for 5-7 days in presence of rhCSF-1 generated a pure population of BMDM that expressed the usual macrophage markers (CD14, CD16, CD163, CD172a), are potent phagocytic cells and produced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Bone marrow cells could be stored frozen and thawed, providing a renewable resource. We profiled gene expression in pig BMDM from outbred animals (Large-White Landrace F1cross) responding to LPS using Affymetrix microarrays. The temporal cascade of inducible and repressible genes more closely-resembled human than mouse macrophages, and included genes involved in tryptophan metabolism (IDO, KYN), lymphoattractant chemokines (CCL20) and the vitamin D3-converting enzyme Cyp27B1. Conversely, pig BMDM, like human macrophages, did not induce genes involved in arginine metabolism, nor did they produce nitric oxide. The data establish pig BMDM as an alternative tractable model for the study of macrophage transcriptional control.

Project description:The domestic pig (Sus scrofa) provides a large animal model for human innate immune responses and inflammation that is also economically important in its own right. Results: We demonstrate that macrophages can be harvested from 3 different compartments of the pig (lungs, blood and bone-marrow), cryopreserved and subsequently recovered and differentiated in CSF-1. We have performed surface marker analysis and gene expression profiling on macrophages from these compartments, comparing 25 animals from 5 different breeds and their response to lipopolysaccharide. The results provide a clear distinction between alveolar macrophages (AM) and monocyte-derived (MDM) and bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). In particular, the lung macrophages express the growth factor, Flt1 and its ligand, VEGFA at high levels, suggesting a distinct pathway of growth regulation. We confirm that pig macrophages more closely resemble human, than mouse, in their set of LPS-inducible genes. Relatively few genes showed breed-specific differential expression, notably CXCR2 and CD302 in alveolar macrophages. In contrast, there was substantial inter-individual variation between pigs within breeds, mostly affecting genes annotated as being involved in immune responses. Conclusions: Future research will address whether such variation is heritable, and might form the basis for selective breeding for disease resistance or functional genomics.
