RNA-seq analysis of neutrophils from CD40L-deficient patients and healthy controls, as well as HL-60 promielocytic cell line

We aim to characterize to effects of the absence of CD40L on neutrophil transcriptome and the effect of soluble CD40L on HL60 cells. For this purpose Total RNA of isolated neutrophils from three CD40L-deficient patients and three healthy controls as well as HL-60 cells from ATCC (HL-60 (ATCC® CCL-240™) were analyzed by RNAseq. Before RNA obtention, neutrophils were incubated for 2 hours in the presence or absence of 100 U/ml rhIFN-? (Immukine, Boehringer Ingelheim), and HL-60 cells cultured for 6 days in the presence or absence of 500 ng/mL sCD40L and/or 1,0 % dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
