Project description:Purpose: To investigate the inhibition of inflammatoty cytokines of Hydroxychloroquine to phagocytic THP-1 cells. Methods: we established a cell model of hemophagocytosis by simulating THP-1 cells with CpG-c for 24h in vitro to produce macrophages, and then coculture the cells with human RBCs. RNA sequencing analysis of THP-1 cells were performed to find Gene changed with CpG-c stimulation and Hydroxychloroquine intervention. Results:CpG-c sitimulation significantly altered gene expression of THP-1 cells. Cytokine genes were upregulated, especially a significant increase in IL-6 level from scratch. HCQ significantly inhibited the expression of inflammatory cytokines and decreased IL-6 gene level to baseline. Conclusions:Hydroxychloroquine can inhibite cytokine genes, especially IL-6 Gene level of THP-1 cells caused by CpG-c sitimulation.
Project description:We demonstrate that hydroxychloroquine inhibits trained immunity at the functional and epigenetic level and is accompanied by reduced expression of interferon-stimulated genes. Trained immunity comprises a functional adaptation induced by epigenetic reprogramming which facilitates the anti-viral innate immune response.
Project description:The series was designed to obtain gene expression patterns of TNF-alpha stimulated THP-1 cells. Keywords: TNF-alpha stimulation This series represents a group of 15 samples in two groups: 7 samples derived from not stimulated THP-1 cells, 8 from THP-1 cells stimulated with TNF-alpha in a final concentration of 5 ng/ml for 60 min.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE32141: Expression analysis LPS stimulated THP-1 cells in four paired samples GSE32324: ChIP-seq analysis LPS stimulated THP-1 cells Refer to individual Series
Project description:CD14+ Monocytes from healthy volunteers were purified by MACS (negative selection) and FACSorting and either left untreated or stimulated for 24h and 48h with LPS. THP-1 cells were stimulated for 4h, 24h and 48h with LPS. Glycoproteins were captured with hydrazide chemistry and tryptic and PNGase F-released peptide fractions analyzed by MS/MS. Quantitative assessment revealed differential glycoprotein expression in activated/LPS-tolerized monocytes and naïve monocytes and THP-1 cells.
Project description:Macrophages play a critical role in innate immunity, and the expression of early response genes orchestrate much of the initial response of the immune system. Macrophages undergo extensive transcriptional reprogramming in response to inflammatory stimuli such as Lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To identify gene transcription regulation patterns involved in early innate immune responses, we used two genome-wide approaches - gene expression profiling and chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis. We examined the effect of 2 hrs LPS stimulation on early gene expression and its relation to chromatin remodeling (H3 acetylation; H3Ac) and promoter binding of Sp1 and RNA polymerase II phosphorylated at serine 5 (S5P RNAPII), which is a marker for transcriptional initiation. Our results indicate novel and alternative gene regulatory mechanisms for certain proinflammatory genes. We identified two groups of up-regulated inflammatory genes with respect to chromatin modification and promoter features. One group, including highly up-regulated genes such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), was characterized by H3Ac, high CpG content and lack of TATA boxes. The second group, containing inflammatory mediators (interleukins and CCL chemokines), was up-regulated upon LPS stimulation despite lacking H3Ac in their annotated promoters, which were low in CpG content but did contain TATA boxes. Genome-wide analysis showed that few H3Ac peaks were unique to either +/-LPS condition. However, within these, an unpacking/expansion of already existing H3Ac peaks was observed upon LPS stimulation. In contrast, a significant proportion of S5P RNAPII peaks (approx 40%) was unique to either condition. Furthermore, data indicated a large portion of previously unannotated TSSs, particularly in LPS-stimulated macrophages, where only 28% of unique S5P RNAPII peaks overlap annotated promoters. The regulation of the inflammatory response appears to occur in a very specific manner at the chromatin level for specific genes and this study highlights the level of fine-tuning that occurs in the immune response. 2 pairs of THP-1 cells either stimulated with LPS or not. ChIP using either H3K9/K14Ac, RNA Pol II (phospho S5) or SP1 antibody. This submission represents chip-seq component of study.
Project description:In this study we performed an RNA-seq analysis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and palmitate (PAL) stimulated THP-1 macrophages to study the gene regulatory mechanisms underlying classical innnate immune response and chronical inflammatory response caused by metabolic stress. This analysis was done to complement single-cell transcriptome analyses of the same cell models.
Project description:We report the grobal gene expression in follicular (FO) B cells stimulated with CpG, IFNa, and CpG plus IFNa for 12 hours prior to the onset of PC differentiation. We found that stimulation with CpG plus IFNa upregulates metabolic processes compared to stimulation with CpG alone. This study highlight the pivotal role of IFNa in determining the fate of PC differentiation of TLR9-activated FO B cells.
