Project description:We previously found that a native lipoprotein mix with a high VLDL+LDL/HDL ratio causes a global de novoDNA methylation in THP-1 macrophages. In the present experiment we assessed the consequences of global lipoprotein-induced de novo DNA methylation on global gene expression in the same cells. Moreover, we sought to use gene expression array data to measure RNA expression levels for candidate factors mediating the epigenetic effects of lipoproteins. Experiment Overall Design: Human native VLDL, LDL and HDL lipoproteins were isolated from buffy coats, fractionated by ultracentrifugation, stored at -80deg., desalted to PBS before usage and kept at 4deg. for a maximum of 7d. THP-1 monocytes were differentiated to macrophages, stimulated for 24h with a mix of 68.8mg/ml VLDL, 32.1mg/ml LDL, 91.1mg/ml HDL or unstimulated (control), in serum-free medium with 2% BSA. Three independently isolated lipoprotein samples were used in triplicate.
Project description:Since previous stduies demostrated that oxidized phospholipids function as caspase-11 agonists to induce noncanonical inflammasome activation in immune cells and the levels of oxidized phospholipids derived from ox-LDL are largely elevated in atherosclerotic lesions. Purpose:RNA-Sequencing analysis of ox-LDL-treated peritoneal macrophages transcriptomes.Methods and results:The principal component analysis gene expression profiles of the control and ox-LDL-treated groups were clearly distinct. Among the DEGs that met the cutoff criteria of a -log10(false discovery rate (FDR)) > 2 and |log2(fold change (FC)| > 2. A total of 1,388 downregulated and 855 upregulated genes were identified. GSEA showed that the dominant upregulated pathways in ox-LDL-treated macrophages were associated with the IL-1-mediated signaling pathway, response to cytokine stimulus, and granulocyte migrationwe discovered that caspase-11-mediated inflammation signaling was significantly activated in ox-LDL-treated peritoneal macrophages.Conclusions:we verified caspase11associated inflammatory signaling was significantly activated in ox-LDL-treated macrophages.

Project description:We aimed to investigate the effect of PTX3 on macrophages functions. After PTX3 stimulation for 18 h in THP-1 macrophages, total RNA were harvested for RNA-seq analysis of ctrl (n = 1) and PTX3 group (n = 1).
Project description:Analysis of mouse thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages incubated in presence of acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) (120 μg/ml) for 24 h vs. mock-treated controls. Lipid accumulation in macrophages has profound effects on macrophage gene expression and contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is the most up-regulated gene in foamy macrophages and its absence in hematopoietic cells results in larger atherosclerotic plaques, characterized by bigger necrotic core areas and increased macrophage apoptosis.
Project description:THP-1 macrophages were treated with acLDL to load with cholesterol THP-1 macrophages were treated with statin to deplete cholesterol
Project description:The data is supplementary to the RNA-seq analysis of LPS and palmitate stimulation of THP-1 macrophages (E-MTAB-6064), where palmitate for the cell treatment was dissolved in sodium hydroxide and coupled with BSA at a molar ratio 7.5:1. Here we stimulated THP-1 macrophages with the corresponding concentration of BSA (4%) and NaOH (0.4 mM) in the presence of 10 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 24 hours added to the standard RPMI 1640 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) to estimate the effects and compared them with unstimulated THP-1 macrophages cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with 10% FBS and 10nM PMA.
Project description:Here we profile nascent transcription, RNA polymerase III occupancy, chromatin accessibility, and H3K27ac levels in THP-1 monocytes and THP-1 derived macrophages after 72 hr exposure to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA).
