Multi-omic profiling of primary mouse neutrophils reveals a pattern of sex and age-related functional regulation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells in humans and constitute one of the first lines of defense in the innate immune response. Neutrophils are extremely short-lived cells, which survive less than a day after reaching terminal differentiation. Thus, little is known about how organismal aging, rather than the daily cellular aging process, may impact neutrophil biology. In addition, accumulating evidence suggests that both immunity and organismal aging are extremely sex-dimorphic. Here, we describe a multi-omic resource of mouse primary bone marrow neutrophils from young and old female and male animals, at the transcriptomic, metabolomic and lipidomic levels. Importantly, we identify widespread age-related and sex-dimorphic regulation of ‘omics’ in neutrophils, specifically regulation of chromatin metabolism. We leverage machine-learning and identify candidate molecular drivers of age-related and sex-dimorphic transcriptional regulation of neutrophils. We leverage our resource to predict increased levels/release of neutrophil elastase in male mice. To date, this dataset represents the largest multi-omic resource for the study of neutrophils across biological sex and ages. This resource identifies molecular states linked to neutrophil characteristics linked to organismal age or sex, which could be leveraged to improve immune responses across individuals.
