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:Unprogrammed macrophage polarization, is associated with diabetic wound ulcers. Nevertheless, development of corresponding drugs is still a challenge. Here, exosomes are isolated from naive bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) (M0-Exos), inflammatory BMDMs (M1-Exos), and anti-inflammatory BMDMs (M2-Exos), with the aim of pinpointing the exosomes functionality and identify global miRNAs expression profiles.
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:Upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin-4 stimulation to trigger M1 or M2 polarized states respectively, label-free quantitative mass spectrometry (LFQ-MS) revealed novel state-specific proteomic profiles of microglia-derived exosomes.
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:BMDMs from naïve female FVB mice were used to generate BMDMs which were polarized for 4 hours using either INFG or IL4. These were subjected to polysome-profiling.
Project description:Macrophages play a central role in immune regulation by adopting distinct polarization states—pro-inflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. Ionizing radiation has emerged as a promising tool for modulating immune cell functions; however, its impact on macrophage polarization and associated molecular changes remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional and functional alterations induced by gamma irradiation (10 Gy) in M1- and M2-polarized RAW 264.7 macrophages. Transcriptome analysis was performed to identify radiation-induced gene expression changes and to uncover key regulators driving these responses. Additionally, we explored the biological functions of exosomes derived from irradiated macrophages, given their potential as cell-free therapeutic agents that reflect parental cell status. Our findings provide new insights into how ionizing radiation reprograms polarized macrophages and modulates their cytokine signaling and exosomal profiles, highlighting novel targets and strategies for immune modulation and therapeutic development.
Project description:To understand the molecular signature of the IL-10/IL-18 polarized macrophages, we performed transcriptome analysis for mouse BMDMs polarized with PBS (Naïve), IFN-γ (classic M1 stimulator, M1, 20ng/ml), IL-4 (alternative M2 stimulator, M2, 20ng/ml), IL-10 (M10, 2000ng/ml), IL-18 (M18, 2000ng/ml) or IL-10 and IL-18 (M1018, 2000ng/ml each). These data suggest that IL-10 and IL-18 cooperatively modulate a set of gene expressions and pathway activities in macrophages and contribute to a distinct polarization state.
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:To reveal the transcriptomes associated with M1 or M2-polarized Kupffer cells, the primary Kupffer cells isolated from mouse liver were treated with lipopolysaccharides or IL-4 and the gene expression patterns were analyzed by microarray. To study the role of RORα in Kupffer cell polarization, Kupffer cells were treated with RORα ligands and transcriptions were compared with those of the M1/M2 polarized Kupffer cells.
