Deciphering the Monocyte-Macrophage Lineage Differentiation With IPA Heikki Vuorikoski University of Turku Institute of Biomedicine Department of Anatomy
IPA and How We Use It • Analysis of Big Datasets • DNA microarray data, solving the function of ”unknown” genes • Literature Mining • Gene and protein information • Data Comparison • DNA microarray data from our experiments vs.public expression data from databases, articles... • Data source • E.g. ”osteoclast” related information • Pathway Graphics • Co-operation projects • Information sharing
Monocyte-macrophage System (MMS) Plasticity • CD14+ monocytes isolated from human peripheral blood can differentiate into bone resorbing osteoclasts (OCs), endothelial cells (ECs), dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (Ms) • Common key factors for different cell lineage differentiation includes M-CSF, c-fos, GM-CSF, and IL-4 • Capability of transdifferentiation: • immature DCs can transdifferentiate into OCs • DCs and Ms into each other • immature DCs into EC-like cells
Systems Biology Approach to Cell Lineage Differentiation Methods: • Microarray gene expression profiling • Human OCs grown on plastic and bone • In silico promoter region analysis of OC specific genes • In silico transcription factor model prediction • Microarray data mining analyses • GO, Pathway analysis
Functional Analysis of the Genes The Functional Analysis of a network identified the biological functions and/or diseases that were most significant to the genes in the network. Genes in bold are up-regulated and in italic down-regulated.
How to use: Data Comparison • Data from external sources, e.g. articles • Import to IPA • Comparison analysis with your own data
Genes categorised as “osteoclast related” in IPA are inspected in our microarray data How to Use: Data Source • Search and visualize in IPA • Color with your (or others) expression data
Conclusions • Big datasets are easily handled with the software • Integration to other analysis programs is easy • Doesn’t require advanced computing skills (“biologistettavissa”) • Data analysis and data sharing between co-workers is easy • IPA is not an excuse to stop wet-lab work, but it is valuable tool for interpreting the data coming from the lab.
