Expression profiles of M2-polarized bone marrow-derived macrophage from wild type mouse [BMDM_RNA-seq]

Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to evaluate the gene expression of M2-polarized bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) compared with M0-BMDMs from wild type (WT) mouse. Methods: BMDMs were obtained from WT mice and polarized toward M2-BMDMs using IL-4 and M-CSF. M0-BMDMs were maintained in culture with M-CSF only. Total RNA of M2- and M0-BMDMs was extracted. BMDM RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing for two groups (M2- versus M0-BMDM) with three mouse samples each. Results: There were significant differences between M2- and M0-BMDMs. Conclusions: Polarization of BMDMs from M0 to M2 induces various changes at the transcription level.
