Transcriptomic analysis of lipoteichoic acid‑treated undifferentiated and neutrophil‑like differentiated HL‑60 cells.

ABSTRACT: Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is an important sensor for innate immune cells, including neutrophils, for the recognition of pathogen infection. Lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a cell wall component of gram-positive bacteria, is a TLR2 ligand. LTA-induced TLR2 signaling pathways are well established in neutrophils. However, experimental studies regarding transcriptional regulation and the molecular mechanisms in primary human neutrophils are limited due to their short lifespan. The promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60, can differentiate into a neutrophil-like phenotype following treatment with dimethyl sulfoxide. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether differentiated HL-60 (dHL-60) cells induced a similar gene expression profile upon LTA treatment as that previously determined for
