Effects of Irg1-itaconate or Hemin on gene expression in macrophages [RNA-seq]

To investigate the role of Irg1-itaconate or Hemin in macrophages, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from WT mice and Irg1 KO mice were extracted and cultured. After 7 days of cells culture, the BMDMs from WT mice were treated 120 μM 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI) for 15 h, 15 μM Hemin for 12 h, and the BMDMs from Irg1 KO mice and WT mice were treated Vehicle for 12 h. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 4-OI, Hemin or vehicle treated WT BMDMs and Irg1 KO BMDMs.
