Whole transcriptome profiling of the steady state and Hh-treated (8 hrs) Alpk1+/- (heterozygous) and Alpk1-/- (knockout) BMDMs using RNA-Sequencing approach

ABSTRACT: Alpk1-deficient mice demonstrate exacerbated colitis and increased IL-12/Th1 response upon challenge with an intestinal pathobiont, Helicobacter hepaticus (Hh). Hematopoietic compartment is driving the pathogenic phenotype in this animal model, and Alpk1 is highly expressed in myeloid cells (macrophages and dendritic cells). Alpk1 deficiency has a recessive phenotype, since Alpk1+/- (heterozygous) mice show the same phenotype as the wild type mice. Mouse bone-marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) show elevated IL-12 production in Alpk1-/- mice in response to stimulation with Hh. Since the molecular mechanism of how Alpk1 deficiency affects macrophage response to Hh is unknown, we aimed to characterise global changes in gene expression in Alpk1+/- vs Alpk1-/- bone-marrow differentiated cells
