| Study Title | In Vitro Method Demonstrating Trained Immunity as a Distinctive Functional Program: Implications for Biomarker Discovery, Adaptive Immune Responses, Sample Cryopreservation, and Mouse Genetics |
| Study Summary | Trained immunity is a distinct program of macrophages, enabling them to secrete varying levels of inflammatory cytokines according to their functional state during sequential stimulation. Experimental models that accurately replicate the defining steps of trained immunity are urgently needed. Here, we developed an in vitro methodology to study trained immunity using murine bone marrow-derived macrophages stimulated with β-glucan and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Longitudinal analysis of interleukin 6 (IL6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production demonstrated that trained macrophages secrete higher cytokine levels following primary stimulation with β-glucancompared to unstimulated macrophages (step 1). After a resting period, trained macrophages return to basal levels of cytokine production (step 2) but rapidly produce enhanced levels of IL6 and TNF after secondary stimulation with LPS, compared to macrophages individually stimulated with either β-glucan (step 3) or LPS (step 4) alone. The combined cytokine production of macrophages after single stimulation with βglucan (stimulus 1) and LPS (stimulus 2) was significantly lower than the cytokine levels produced by trained macrophages sequentially stimulated with both β-glucan and LPS (stimulus 1+2) (step 5). These results experimentally reproduce, for the first time, the distinctive functional stages that macrophages undergo during the training process. Using this methodology, we identified serum amyloid A3 protein (SAA3) as a novel biomarker of trained immunity and revealed that trained macrophages induce T-cell proliferation via a contact dependent mechanisms. Additionally, our results uncovered adverse effects of cell cryopreservation, strain-specific differences, and the impact of mTOR genetic ablation in the induction of trained immunity. Standardization of methodologies to study trained immunity is critical for advancing our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that regulate innate immune memory responses and develop therapies that specifically target trained immunity in multiple immune-mediated pathological conditions. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004200 |
| Collection Summary: | Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were obtained from C57BL/6 mice and cultured under standard conditions. Naive macrophages were either left untreated, activated with LPS, or trained with β-glucan before metabolite extraction. After stimulation, cells were washed, collected, and lysed in methanol for metabolomic analysis. |
| Sample Type: | Macrophages |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR004216 |
| Treatment Summary: | Murine bone marrow monocytes were isolated by negative selection and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, antibiotics, amino acids, and 30 ng/mL M-CSF. Naive macrophages were cultured for 6 days without additional stimulation. Activated macrophages were stimulated with 10 ng/mL LPS for 6 hours on day 6. Trained macrophages were primed with 10 µg/mL β-glucan on day 0, followed by a media change on day 3 and a 3-day resting period. On day 6, trained macrophages were re-stimulated with LPS (10 ng/mL) for 6 hours before metabolite extraction. |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004213 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | After culture and treatment, macrophages were resuspended in 60 μL of methanol and ultrasonicated using a UP200S device with an S2 probe (Hielscher Ultrasonics). Organic and aqueous fractions were separated by centrifugation. Supernatants were collected and stored at -80°C until further analysis. Samples were then subjected to LC-MS/MS for metabolomic profiling. |
