The impact of breed genotype and tissue compartment on the response of pig macrophages to lipopolysaccharide


ABSTRACT: The domestic pig (Sus scrofa) provides a large animal model for human innate immune responses and inflammation that is also economically important in its own right. Results: We demonstrate that macrophages can be harvested from 3 different compartments of the pig (lungs, blood and bone-marrow), cryopreserved and subsequently recovered and differentiated in CSF-1. We have performed surface marker analysis and gene expression profiling on macrophages from these compartments, comparing 25 animals from 5 different breeds and their response to lipopolysaccharide. The results provide a clear distinction between alveolar macrophages (AM) and monocyte-derived (MDM) and bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). In particular, the lung macrophages express the growth factor, Flt1 and its ligand, VEGFA at high levels, suggesting a distinct pathway of growth regulation. We confirm that pig macrophages more closely resemble human, than mouse, in their set of LPS-inducible genes. Relatively few genes showed breed-specific differential expression, notably CXCR2 and CD302 in alveolar macrophages. In contrast, there was substantial inter-individual variation between pigs within breeds, mostly affecting genes annotated as being involved in immune responses. Conclusions: Future research will address whether such variation is heritable, and might form the basis for selective breeding for disease resistance or functional genomics.
