Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals induction of distinct trained immunity programs in human monocytes
Summary
Trained immunity refers to the long-lasting memory traits of innate immunity. Recent studies have shown that trained immunity is orchestrated by sustained changes in epigenetic marks and metabolic pathways, leading to an altered transcriptional response to a second challenge. However, the potential heterogeneity of trained-immunity induction in innate immune cells has not been explored. In this study, we demonstrate cellular transcriptional programs in response to 4 different inducers of trained immunity in monocyte populations at single-cell resolution. Specifically, we identified 3 monocyte subpopulations upon the induction of trained immunity, and replicated these findings in an in vivo study. In addition, we found gene signatures consistent with these functional programs in patients with ulcerative colitis, sepsis, and COVID-19, suggesting the impact of trained-immunity programs in immune-mediated diseases.
Overall design
scRNAseq of monocytes from in vitro Trained immunity experiments stimulated by β-glucan (BG), uric acid (UA), muramyl dipeptide (MDP), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), or RPMI-Control, and respective samples restimulated with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
