Abstract

We report the detailed transcriptomic profiles of human innate myeloid cells using RNA sequencing. Monocytes migrate from blood into infected or wounded tissue to differentiate into macrophages, and control inflammation via phagocytosis or cytokine secretion. We differentiated culture primary monocytes with either GM- or M-CSF to obtain pro- or anti-inflammatory macrophages, and respectively activated them with either LPS/IFNγ or anti-inflammatory cytokines. We also treated the THP-1 monocytic cell line with PMA and similar cytokines to mimic differentiation and activation. We detected thousands of expression and alternative-splicing changes during monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation and activation, and a net increase in exon inclusion. MBNL1 knockdown phenocopies several alternative-splicing changes and strongly impairs PMA differentiation, suggesting functional defects in monocytes from Myotonic Dystrophy patients. This study provides general insights into alternative splicing in the monocyte-macrophage lineage, whose future characterization will elucidate their contribution to immune functions, which are altered in immunodeficiencies, autoimmunity, atherosclerosis and cancer.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.
