Project description:To compare the inflammatory responses of WT and SIRPα KO macrophage, we performed a complete transcript profiling of WT and SIRPα-KO M1 macrophage using transcriptome sequencing as a discovery platform. SIRPα-KO mice and WT mice were kept under the same condition. BMDMs were produced from WT and SIRPα-KO mice followed by M1 polarization. RNA was then isolated from the same number of BMDMs.
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.
Project description:We report the gene expression (obtained by next generation RNAseq) of bone marrow derived macrophages from Lyz2Cre+ or C57Bl/6 mice that have been polarized to an M1 or M2 phenotype in the presence of absence of EGFR inhibitor, Erlotinib. This study provides data on how M1 and M2 BMDMs differ in their overall gene expression profiles in mice as well as how gene expression is influenced by EGFR inhibition during polarization.

Project description:Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are part of a growing family of innate lymphocytes known for their crucial role in both the development and exacerbation of allergic asthma. In this study, we aim to elucidate the critical role of the suppressor molecule signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα), which interacts with CD47, in controlling ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Our data indicate that activated ILC2s upregulate the expression of SIRPα, and the interaction between SIRPα and CD47 effectively suppresses both ILC2 proliferation and effector function. To evaluate the efficacy of SIRPα in regulating ILC2-mediated AHR, we utilized SIRPα and CD47 deficient mice in a murine model of allergen-induced AHR. Our findings suggest that the absence of SIRPα leads to the overactivation of ILC2s. Conversely, engagement with SIRPα reduces ILC2 cytokine production and effectively regulates ILC2-dependent AHR. Furthermore, the SIRPα-CD47 axis modulates mitochondrial metabolism through the JAK/STAT and ERK/MAPK signaling pathways, thereby regulating NF-κB activity and the production of type two cytokines. Additionally, our studies on human cells have revealed that SIRPα is inducible and expressed on human ILC2s, and administration of a SIRPα agonist effectively suppresses the effector function and cytokine production of ILC2s. Moreover, administering human CD47-Fc to humanized ILC2 mice effectively alleviated AHR and lung inflammation. These findings highlight the promising therapeutic potential of targeting the SIRPα-CD47 axis in the treatment of ILC2-dependent allergic asthma.
Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the BMDMs transcriptome in the control LPS and LPS plus BHB group in order to identify the critical pathway that contributed to the inhibiton of BHB on M1 polarization. Methods: 1× 106 BMDMs were pre-treated with PBS or BHB for 1 hours before LPS administration. Four hours later, BMDMs were harvested for RNA preparation. Results: Among 16650 mapped genes, 7325 differentially expressed genes were identified, including 244 LPS inducible BHB down regulated named class A and 537 LPS repressed BHB up regulated genes named class B. The genes in class A were mainly TLR4 and TNF signaling pathway, while genes in class B were associated with negative regulation of transcription and NF-KB signaling. The GSEA showed that BHB have the similar profiles chnage on BMDMs with TSA. Conclusions: Our study revealed that BHB down regulated TLR4 and NF-KB pathway related genes to inhibited M1 polarization, and BHB have a similar effect on BMDMs with TSA through comparing the genetic changes of two substance caused in cells.
Project description:Innate immune checkpoint has emerging as a highly potential target for cancer immunotherapy in recent years. The CD47-SIRPα axis is the best-studied innate checkpoint in cancer. However, the transcription profile of tumor cell duiring CD47-SIRPα blockade therapy remains unclear.
