A holistic view to polarization of kupffer cells by lipopolysaccharide and IL-4 Shiva Moein1, Kobra Moradzadeh1, Niloofar Nikaeen2, Yousof Gheisari *1,3 Objective and background Kupffer cells, resident macrophages of the liver are originated from yolk-sac (Davies et al 2013). These cells with their perivascular position have prominent roles both in homeostasis and pathology of the liver through secretion of various cytokines and chemokine, initiation of immune response, inflammation and regenerative cascades (Nguyen-Lefebvre & Horuzsko 2015). Due to wide spectrum of phenotypes of these cells, studying effects of peripheral mediators on the polarization and function of these cells would be better understood through the holistic viewpoint of systems biology (Chuang et al 2010). Keywords Kupffer cells, Systems biology, Microarray data analysis, Gene ontology, protein-protein interaction network Methodology In this study the microarray dataset GSE86397 which is the expression profile of mouse-extracted kupffer cells under the treatment of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or IL4 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The quality of dataset was evaluated by principle component analysis which was drawn by ggplot2 package of R software (Walter et al 2015). The differentially expressed genes(DEG) were calculated by GEO2R with False Discovery Rate of < 0.05%. The related transcription factors to DEGs were extracted by ChIP-X enrichment analysis (ChEA) and regulatory kinases of these transcription factors were acquired through Kinase Enrichment Analysis (KEA) of Enricher database (Kuleshov et al 2016). In addition, using Clupedia plugin of Cytoscape software version 3.5.1 protein-protein interaction network of DEGs was depicted (Bindea et al 2013). At the next step the network of DEGs, CHEA and KEA were merged together and network analysis was done through network analyzer tool of Cytoscape. Finally, the related pathways to genes of this integrated network were determined by Reactome database (Fabregat et al 2017). Results Quality evaluation by PCA demonstrated segregation of all the three categories by PC2. 3130 and 1300 genes differentially expressed in LPS-induced and IL-4-induced kupffer cells related to no-treatment group respectively (FDR< 0.05). The analysis of network constructed from merging DEGs, CHEA and KEA demonstrated key nodes related to polarization of kupffer cells to classical M1 and alternative M2 microphages. The top ten nodes according to degree and betweenness centralities for both treatments are shown in table 1. Also Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA) for all genes by Reactome database showed pathways mainly related to immune system, metabolism, cell cycle, hemostasis and so on. The top 10 pathways of each network is shown in Figure1. Conclusion Analyzing microarray data of kupffer cells stimulated by IL4 or LPS not only demonstrated previously confirmed key genes and signaling pathways related to macrophages polarization, but also some genes with not-determined function in such cells. PPARγ as one of the hubs with most degree and betweenness is the primer of differentiation of macrophages to alternative M2 cells as we saw its significant down-regulation in LPS –induced cells and a prominent up-regulation in IL4 treatment group (Bouhlel et al 2007). Gata1, Klf4, Spi/Pu1 and Crem are also among genes which their roles are determined in macrophages (Han et al 2017, Tanaka et al 2000, Zakrzewska et al 2010). Among hub nodes, Pou5f1 gene in LPS-induced cells and Tcfap2c in IL4-induced cells seem to be good targets for future experiments. In conclusion, our top-down approach let us to have a more holistic view on signaling pathways and key genes related to kupffer cells polarization.
