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:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to evaluate the gene expression of M1-polarized RAW264.7 cells compared with M0 RAW264.7 cells. Methods: RAW264.7 cells were polarized toward M1 using LPS and IFN-γ. M0 RAW264.7 cells were maintained in culture without LPS and IFN-γ. Total RNA of M1 and M0 RAW264.7 cells was extracted. RAW264.7 cells RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing for two groups (M1 versus M0 RAW264.7 cells) with three samples each. Results: There were significant differences between M1 and M0 RAW264.7 cells. Conclusions: Polarization of RAW264.7 cells from M0 to M1 induces various changes at the transcription level.
Project description:The relative contribution of polarized macrophages to the maintenance of tolerance is unknown. We examined their roles by in vivo adoptive transfer immunotherapy of M0, M1 and M2a macrophages as pre-treatment of colitis. In other experiments, M2a macrophages were used as pre-treatment or treatment of established colitis followed by immunotherapy with nTreg cells. Survival, weight gain, tissue infiltration, iTreg and Th17 cell development, T cell activation, and the frequency of proinflammatory cytokines were used as outcome measurements. Pre-treatment with M2a but not M1 macrophages increased the development of iTreg and Th17 cells. M2a macrophages used as pre-treatment or in treatment of established colitis allowed for successful therapy with nTreg cells. M1 and M2a macrophages have distinct gene expression profiles. M0, M1 and M2a macrophages were cell sorted and were used to generate total RNA for each array set, which was labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 GeneChips in accordance to the manufacturerâ??s protocol. Three sets of arrays were performed, and the results were averaged. The subset of probe sets whose expression increased or decreased by two-fold or more relative to M0 cells as a common standard was identified and used for further analysis.
Project description:While naive BMDMs without further treatment are referred to as M0-like macrophages, which can be polarized to either M1-like or M2-like macrophages,To assess the consequence of PTEN binding on macrophages, we profiled the global transcriptome of M0-like BMDMs with and without PTEN treatment.

Project description:In order to assess whether differences in the transcriptomic profile of human tumor-associated macrophages vs. alveolar macrophages from adjacent non-tumor-tissue (GSE162669) were caused by factors secreted by tumor cells, primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) were polarized towards a TAM-like phenotype by cultivating them in tumor cell-conditioned medium. A genome-wide comparison by bulk RNA-Seq confirmed a high similarity of ex vivo TAMs and in vitro polarized TAM-like macrophages. Other polarization schemes (M1: LPS/IFN-gamma, M2: IL10 or IL4) did not lead to similar transcriptomic changes. For details, see Hoppstädter et al., 2021 (doi:10.1016/j.ebiom.2021.103578).
Project description:The study aimed to investigate the impact of TRAIL on primary human M1, M2a and M2c macrophage polarization. Primary human monocyte-derived macrophages were pre-stimulated with TRAIL and then either left unpolarized (M0) or polarized into M1, M2a, or M2c phenotypes Then, RNA sequencing analysis was performed in 4 healthy donors including treated and control groups for one time point to analyze the differentially expressed M1 and M2 markers in TRAIL treated vs control groups.
Project description:We reported exosome-guided phenotype switches between M1- and M2-polarized BMDMs. M1- or M2-polarized BMDMs were successfully reprogrammed to M2- or M1-phenotype via the treatment of exosomes obtained from M2- or M1-polarized BMDMs. In this uploaded information, the exosomes from M1- and M2-polarized BMDMs were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing.
