Project description:C57Bl/6 wild-type and STAT6 KO mice were used to study PPARg and IL-4 signaling. Bone marrow of 3 mice per group was isolated and differentiated to macrophages with M-CSF (20 ng/ml). 20 ng/ml IL-4 was used to induce alternative macrophage activation and 1 uM Rosiglitazone (RSG) was used to activate PPARg. From each mouse 4 samples were generated: 1. M-CSF, 2. M-CSF+RSG, 3. IL-4 and 4. IL-4+RSG. All compounds were added throughout the whole differentiation process, and frech media was added every other day. Control cells were treated with vehicle (DMSO:ethanol). After 10 days, RNA was isolated and gene expression profiles were analyzed using Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarrays from Affymetrix. 3 C57Bl/6 wild-type and 3 STAT6 KO mice were used to isolate bone marrow and from each macrophages were differentiated with or without IL-4 and simultaneously treated with vehicle or RSG. Altogether we analyzed 24 samples with 3 biological replicates as below.

Project description:To investigate the function OGT in the regulation of M2 polarization of macrophages, we established IL-4-activated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from mice of wild-type control or Lyz2-Cre/Loxp-mediated knockout of OGT. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of wild-type (WT) and OGT-knockout (OGT-KO) macrophages at two time points during IL-4 (20ng/μl) sitmulation.

Project description:The nuclear orphan receptor Nur77 (NR4A1, TR3, or NGFI-B) has been shown to exhibit an anti-inflammatory function in macrophages. To further elucidate the role of Nur77 in macrophage physiology, we compared the transcriptome of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) from wild-type (WT) and Nur77-knockout (KO) mice both before and after stimulation with IL4 or LPS. Comparison of gene expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages, isolated from 3 wild-type (control) and 3 Nur77-/- mice (case), left untreated or stimulated in triplicate for 8 hours with LPS or IL-4
Project description:We used microarrays to find Stat6 dependent genes in control and IL-4 exposed bone marrow derived macrophages. Alternatively activated macrophages (AAM) accumulate in tissues during Th2-associated immune responses like helminth infections and allergic disorders. These cells possess potent inhibitory activity against T cells. The differentiation of AAM depends on IL-4/IL-13-mediated activation of the transcription factor Stat6. Stat6 is also required in AAM to induce several genes, such as YM1, FIZZ1 and Arginase1.
