10x single-cell RNAseq profiling of hiPSC derived WT and ISG15 KO macrophages stimulated with interferon-a and treated with itaconic acid, 4-octyl itaconate and ruxolitinib

WT and ISG15 KO macrophages were stimulated with interferon-a and treated with itaconic acid and 4-octyl itaconate as they are known for anti-inflammatory effects. In this experiment, we further explored how itaconic acid and 4-octyl itaconate can play its role keeping ruxolitinib as a positive control in order to inhibit JAK/STAT pathway Overall design: WT and ISG15 KO macrophages were differentiated from hiPSCs, stimulated with interferon-a and treated with itaconic acid, 4-octyl itaconate and ruxolitinib.
