Selected cohort requirements

Samples meeting selected requirements: 0 cases / 0 controls

6 case / 3 control samples elsewhere in the study have incomplete or conflicting evidence; they are not included above

Patient pairs verified in indexed sample metadata: 0

A case/control comparison meeting these requirements is not confirmed.

Counts describe samples, not independent patients. Pair verification uses explicit subject identifiers in indexed sample metadata. Zero verified pairs does not establish that the study is unpaired; reported matched-normal design alone is insufficient.

Summary

Macrophages have plasticity to adapt microenvironment. In joint tissue, synovial macrophages (SM) and synovial fibroblasts (SF) are maintained in the homeostasis. In Rheumatoid arthritis, crosstalk between SM and SF via inflammatory response induce abnormal activation in respective cells and contribute to disease progression. However, the activation mechanisms in SM which are encouraged by SF are largely unclear. Here, we demonstrated metabolic reprogramming and immunological activation in SM by secretary stimulations from SF using primary culture synovial cell derived from arthritis model mice. To analyze interaction between SM and SF, primary culture of murine synovial cells was performed, respectively. RNA-seq analysis showed SF express abundant secretion-related gene. Thus, we investigated whether conditioned medium from SF (SF-CM) affects biological activity in SM. As the results, SF-CM condition induced both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration to SM with increased uptake of glucose and glutamine at least, accompanied with cell survival. In addition, several inflammation markers were also upregulated in SM by SF-CM condition. Taken together, these results suggest that metabolic reprogramming were induced in SM by secretory stimulations from SF, followed by activated inflammatory response and long-live. These indicate that such phenotypes of SM may contribute to chronic inflammation in Rheumatoid arthritis

Overall design

mRNA profiles of primary synovial macrophages and synovial fibroblasts obtained from swollen ankle in CAIA mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Miseq.

Derived Classifications

  • Organism differs from search intent Mus musculus Search intent expects Homo sapiens. Organism came from Normalization rules.

Ranking Facts

Supporting evidence

  • Comparison: Disease/model vs control. Specimen: Tissue. Comparison suitability: 0%.
  • Prioritized assay: bulk RNA-seq is the active assay expectation.
  • Interpreted disease metadata: Rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Processed data is available for downstream review.
  • External evidence: PubMed links 1 publication; 1 DOI available: PMID 33256735.
  • Publication context: Reprogramming of synovial macrophage metabolism by synovial fibroblasts under inflammatory conditions.. Cell communication and signaling : CCS, 2020. PMID 33256735. DOI 10.1186/s12964-020-00678-8.

Cautions

  • Disease/control design without a tumor/normal comparison is outside tumor/normal triage.
  • Overall score capped because comparison suitability is weak for the selected search intent.
  • Overall score capped because non-human datasets are outside the selected human ranking intent.
  • Overall score capped because fewer than ten samples limit cohort confidence.
  • Comparison suitability score is below the Phase 1 recommended threshold.
