Single-cell RNA-seq of neutrophils from germ-free and specific-pathogen-free mice reveals gut-microbiota-driven heterogeneity and NETosis in acute pancreatitis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) using the 10x Genomics platform to characterize pancreatic immune cell populations in germ-free (GF) and specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice with cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP). scRNA-seq analysis identified distinct neutrophil subpopulations influenced by gut microbiota presence. SPF mice showed enrichment of pro-inflammatory neutrophil clusters associated with increased neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, whereas GF mice exhibited neutrophil subsets expressing reparative and protective signatures. Our data highlight the role of gut microbiota in shaping immune responses during AP.
