Purpose: Taurine promotes the activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells. The goals of this study are to identify genes and pathways invovled in the regulation.; Methods: Mouse plasmacytoid dendritic cells were stimulated with R837, together with or without taurine for 12 hours. Then, the next-generation libraries of mRNA were prepared using VAHTS mRNA-seq v2 Library Prep Kit for Illumina (Vazyme, Nanjing, China). The Library quality was determined by Bioanalyzer 4200 (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Then the mRNA-seq libraries were sequenced in HiSeq 10 system (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) on a 150bp paired-end run. The differentially expressed genes were selected as having more than 1 fold difference in their geometrical mean expression between the compared groups and a statistically significant p-value (<0.05) by analysis of DEseq2. The GO analysis on differentially expressed genes was performed with an R package: Clusterprofiler using a p<0.05 to define statistically enriched GO categories. Pathway analysis was used to determine the significant pathway of the differential genes according to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Database (http://www.genome.jp/kegg/) and DAVID Bioinformatics Resources 6.8 (https://david.ncifcrf.gov/).; Results: Genes in the TLR7-IRF7 pathway were augmented by taurine. As a result, the production of type I IFNs increased upon taurine treatment. SOURCE: Haibo Zhou (hbzhou1984@gmail.com) - Renji Hospital
