Comparison of gene expression profiles between human and mouse monocyte subsets

Abstract: Blood of both humans and mice contains 2 main monocyte subsets. Here, we investigated the extent of their similarity using a microarray approach. Approximately 270 genes in humans and 550 genes in mice were differentially expressed between subsets by 2-fold or more. More than 130 of these gene expression differences were conserved between mouse and human monocyte subsets. We confirmed numerous of these differences at the cell surface protein level. Despite overall conservation, some molecules were conversely e… Show more

“…of homology between mouse and human monocyte subsets and that the mouse Ly6C hi CCR2 1 subset corresponds to the human classical subset [32]. Since Tip-DCs in mice have been shown to arise from Ly6C hi CCR2 1 monocytes [3,33], it is likely that TipDCs seen in our model arise mainly from the classical subset, especially since this population represents 90% of total blood monocytes.…”

“…However, the two subsets can also be distinguished by functions such as the patrolling behavior found in Ly6 low but not Ly6C high monocytes [18]. As these phenotypical and functional differences are found in both human and murine monocyte subsets, evolutionary conservation of monocyte heterogeneity has been suggested [19][20][21][22]. The developmental relationship between the monocyte subsets is still not completely understood [11].…”

“…Most human studies employ monocyte-derived macrophages grown in CSF-1 (24). Mouse monocytes are not readily accessed in substantial numbers and may differ from humans in terms of their maturation state/subpopulations (25) and in their response to inflammatory stimulus like LPS (26). Conversely, access to human bone marrow is also not straightforward, and human BMDM have not been reported.…”
