Project description:We use single cell RNA sequencing to identify an evolutionarily conserved gene expression signature in resident macrophages. Based on our single cell data, we show the presence of a core gene expression signature in a cluster of innate immune cells in mouse, rat, pig, and human kidney tissue. Further, using this gene expression signature, we identify novel candidate markers for resident macrophages that span all 4 species tested.

Project description:We show that resident macrophages accumulate in cilia mutant mice prior to cyst formation and that inhibition of resident macrophage accumulation reduces cystic kidney disease.
Project description:Skin resident macrophages were isolated by FACS sorting at different ages post natally and RNA was extracted mouse skin resident macrophages
Project description:Genes expression in Ly6C+/F4/80+ inflammatory macrophages, CX3CR1+/F4/80+ tissue resident macrophages and Ly6G+/F4/80- neutrophils which were isolated from day 3 wounds in C57/B6 mice aged 8 weeks by cell sorting Ly6C+ macrophages expressed higher (over 5 folds) levels of 241 genes compared to CX3CR1+ macrophages, and 3382 genes compared to neutrophils
Project description:microRNA transcriptome data from wild type and Gata6-deficient tissue resident peritoneal macrophages. Tissue resident macrophages are notoriously heterogeneous, exhibiting discrete phenotypes as a consequence of tissue- and micro-anatomical niche-specific functions, but the molecular basis for this is not understood. Gata6 itself has been shown to be a target of multiple miR. However, microRNA transcriptome and its dependence on tissue-specific macrophage programming, such as effected by GATA6, has not been explored. We used microRNA sequencing to determine the patterns of microRNA expression in peritoneal resident macrophages at homeostasis in the absence of GATA-6 against wild type.
