Project description:Classically (M1) and alternatively activated (M2) macrophages play distinct roles in various physiological and disease processes. Understanding the gene transcription programs that contribute to macrophage polarization along the M1/M2 spectrum may lead to new tools to detect and therapeutically manipulate macrophage phenotype. Here, we define the M1 and M2 macrophage signature through mRNA microarray. The M1 macrophage signature was defined by 629 up-regulated and 732 down-regulated genes while the M2 macrophage signature was formed by 388 up-regulated and 425 down-regulated genes. While a subset of probes was common to both M1 and M2 cells, others were exclusive to each macrophage subset. The common M1/M2 pathways were characterized by changes in various transcriptional regulators and signaling partners, including increases in Kruppel-like Factor (Klf) 4, but decreases in Klf2. To identify M1 and M2 biomarkers that help discriminate these populations, we selected genes that were increased during M1 or M2 differentiation but decreased in the opposite population. Among top novel M1-distinct genes, we identified CD38, G-protein coupled receptor 18 (Gpr18) and Formyl peptide receptor 2 (Fpr2). Among top M2 genes, we found early growth response protein 2 (Egr2) and Myc. We validated these genes by Real-Time PCR and developed a CD38/Egr2-based flow cytometry assay that discriminates between M1 and M2 macrophages. Overall, this work defines the M1 and M2 signature and identifies several novel M1 and M2 genes that may be used to distinguish and manipulate M1 and M2 macrophages. Total RNA was prepared from bone marrow-derived macrophages of wild-type mice (n=2-3 independent mice) treated in M0, M1 or M2 conditions (n=2-3 replicates per condition originating from different mice)

Project description:Unstimulated (M0), M1-polarized (GM-CSF, LPS, IFNγ-stimulated), and M2-polarized (M-CSF, IL-4-stimulated) canine blood-derived macrophages were generated in vitro and investigated for differences in their transcriptome to create a basis for future investigations upon the role of macrophage polarization in dogs, a species, which has emerging importance for translational research.

Project description:Macrophages are known to be polarized into inflammatory (M1) and immunoregulatory (M2) cells when they are stimulated by agonists such as IFN-gamma and IL-4, respectively. If circulating monocytes may be polarized in response to T cell signals is often misguidedly deduced from macrophage results. Here the transcriptional responses of human CD14+ monocytes to IFN-gamma and IL-4 were analyzed using whole genome microarrays. A principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering showed that monocyte and macrophage responses were distinct. Monocytes stimulated with IFN-gamma and IL-4 for 6 hours exhibited some features of macrophage polarization. Indeed, when 80 genes considered as M1 and M2 genes were analyzed, we found that M1 genes were modulated in response to IFN-gamma and that M2 genes were modulated in response to IL-4. The M1 polarization of monocytes was transient because only M2 genes were modulated when monocytes were stimulated with IFN-gamma and IL-4 for 18 hours. However, the activation of monocytes by IFN-gamma and IL-4 could not be reduced to M1/M2 polarization status. Indeed, monocytes exhibited early specific signatures composed of 46 and 39 up-regulated genes in response to IFN-gamma and IL-4, respectively, and a late signature common to both molecules that consisted of 57 up-regulated genes. Taken together, these results demonstrated the extreme plasticity of human monocytes and suggested the existence of a core transcriptional termination program. Using early and late signatures might be pertinent to investigate monocyte activation in inflammatory or infectious diseases. Monocytes were stimulated with IFN-gamma (20ng/mL) or IL-4 (20ng/mL) for 6 and 18 hours or culture for 6 and 18 hours without agonist (Unstimulated samples). Monocytes-derived-macrophages (MDM) stimulated with IFN-gamma and IL-4 for 18 hours were used as controls. Each microarray is derived from a single biological sample.

Project description:We screened RNAseq results from RAW 264.7 macrophages for previous empirically-defined M2 genes in the whole transcriptome that followed the Arg1 pattern of up-regulation by β-adrenergic-signaling with inhibition by Cebpb gene knockdown. We also screened RAW 264.7 macrophages for empirically-defined M1 genes that exhibited the orthogonal pattern of Arg1 regulation (i.e., down-regulation by β-adrenergic signaling, with rescue of this effect by Cebpb knockdown).

Project description:Macrophages have distinct characteristics depending on their microenvironment. We performed proteomic analysis between M1 and M2 macrophages and found that cellular metabolism is the key regulator of macrophage function. We used microarray to support proteomic data between M1 and M2 macrophages. M1 macrophages are obtained using cell sorting of CD45+MHCII+CD8a-F4/80+ population from C57BL/6J bone marrow cell derived heterogenous cells under GM-CSF conditioning for 7 days. M2 macrophages are differentiated with 20% L929 cell supernatant for 7 days and sorted from CD45+F4/80+CD11b+ population.

Project description:β-Adrenergic signaling can regulate macrophage involvement in several diseases and often produces anti-inflammatory properties in macrophages, which are similar to M2 properties in a dichotomous M1 vs. M2 macrophage taxonomy. However, it is not clear that β-adrenergic-stimulated macrophages may be classified strictly as M2. In this in vitro study, we utilized recently published criteria and transcriptome-wide bioinformatics methods to map the relative polarity of murine β-adrenergic-stimulated macrophages within a wider M1-M2 spectrum. Results show that β-adrenergic-stimulated macrophages did not fit entirely into any one pre-defined category of the M1-M2 spectrum but did express genes that are representative of some M2 side categories. Moreover, transcript origin analysis of genome-wide transcriptional profiles located β-adrenergic-stimulated macrophages firmly on the M2 side of the M1-M2 spectrum and found active suppression of M1 side gene transcripts. The signal transduction pathways involved were mapped through blocking experiments and bioinformatics analysis of transcription factor binding motifs. M2-promoting effects were mediated specifically through β2-adrenergic receptors and were associated with CREB, C/EBPβ, and ATF transcription factor pathways but not with established M1-M2 STAT pathways. Thus, β-adrenergic-signaling induces a macrophage transcriptome that locates on the M2 side of the M1-M2 spectrum but likely accomplishes this effect through a signaling pathway that is atypical for M2-spectrum macrophages.

Project description:Analysis of the effects of CNI-1493 treatment on M1 and M2 polarized macrophages. The purpose of this microarray is to identify genes that may be differentially expressed in M1 or M2 macrophages after treatment with CNI-1493. CNI-1493 is a known inhibitor of M1 macrophages but details of its molecular mechanism are unknown. The effect of CNI-1493 on M2 macrophages has yet to be explored, but we hypothesize that CNI-1493 treatment will attenuate pro-tumor properties of M2 macrophages. We demonstrate with this array that known macrophage markers are unchanged after treatment with CNI-1493, indicating that CNI-1493 does not change the macrophage phenotype on a transcriptional level. Additionally, no candidate genes to suggest how CNI-1493 may attenuate the pro-tumor effects of M2 macrophages are readily identifiable. Total RNA extracted from M1 or M2 macrophages after polarization with GM-CSF (25ng/ml) or M-CSF (25ng/ml) for 7 days, followed by addition of IFN-γ (20ng/ml) and LPS (100ng/ml) or IL-4 (40ng/ml) for 18 hours, respectively, from CD14+ human PBMCs, and treated with CNI-1493 (200nM)
