What it is
RNA-seq (gene expression)Gene activity measured by sequencing. The summary does not mention single-cell work, so this is most likely bulk: one average per sample, the usual starting point for comparing groups.

Summary (written by the submitters)
Trained immunity is defined by increased inflammatory cytokine production by macrophages that are sequentially activated by two stimuli, separated by a resting period. The models used to study trained immunity should reflect the definition of this process, which includes five different steps. Here, we developed an in vitro methodology to study trained immunity using murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM), following sequential stimulation with β-glucan and lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Kinetic analysis of cytokine production demonstrated, for the first time, that trained BMDM secrete high levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 6 (IL6) following stimulation with β-glucan (stimulus 1), compared to unstimulated BMDM (step 1). After a resting period, trained BMDM do not secrete significant levels of these cytokines (step 2), but rapidly produce enhanced levels of TNF and IL6 after secondary stimulation with LPS (stimulus 2), compared to BMDM stimulated with either β-glucan (step 3) or LPS (step 4) alone. In addition, the sum of cytokine levels produced by both BMDM stimulated with either β-glucan (stimulus 1) or LPS (stimulus 2) individually, was significantly lower than the cytokine levels produced by trained BMDM stimulated with both β-glucan and LPS (stimulus 1+2) (step 5). Our findings also demonstrate that trained BMDM produce higher levels of serum amyloid A3 (SAA3) protein due to metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming. Functionally, trained BMDM upregulate the expression of stimulatory molecules such as MHC-II, CD80, CD86, OX40L and PDL1; downregulate the inhibitory molecules ICOSL and CD206; and induce CD4+ and CD8+ T cell proliferation in vitro through a cell contact-dependent mechanism. Our results also revealed strain-specific differences in the training response among mice, the negative impact of cell cryopreservation on trained immunity, and the potential use of genetically modified mice in elucidating mechanistic pathways through which different training stimuli may induce long-lived memory macrophages. These results also highlight the applicability of mouse in vitro methods as an additional tool to study trained immunity, as the use of inbred mice reduce the genetic variability present in humans and minimize variables that affect trained immunity such as infections, vaccinations and lifestyle-related stimuli. The standardization of trained immunity protocols using murine BMDM will facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies that target the innate immune memory response for the treatment of multiple immune-based diseases.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE290033_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

All supplementary files ↗ Whole study · RAW.tar ↓
3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1225844 and SRA study SRP565122. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
