Gene Expression Pattern <strong>of</strong> Bone-Marrow Derived Macrophages after Interferon-gamma Treatment<br />

Surprisingly, the percentage <strong>of</strong> proteins with significant difference in abundance between<br />

BMM <strong>of</strong> BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice compared to the total <strong>of</strong> all identified proteins was noticeably<br />

higher than the percentage <strong>of</strong> differentially expressed genes between BMM <strong>of</strong> BALB/c and<br />

C57BL/6 mice compared to the total <strong>of</strong> all genes available on the array (Table R.3.1).<br />

IFN-γ influence on gene expression [Maren Depke] and protein abundances [Dinh Hoang Dang<br />

Khoa] in BMM <strong>of</strong> BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice<br />

The comparison <strong>of</strong> IFN-γ treated BMM with the non-treated medium control revealed that<br />

IFN-γ mainly led to induction <strong>of</strong> gene expression or increase in protein abundance in both strains<br />

(Table R.3.2 A). From the total <strong>of</strong> 442 (BALB/c BMM) and 396 (C57BL/6 BMM) differentially<br />

expressed genes, 388 (BALB/c BMM) and 330 (C57BL/6 BMM) were induced, while only 54<br />

(BALB/c BMM) and 66 (C57BL/6 BMM) were repressed.<br />

IFN-γ treatment increased the abundance <strong>of</strong> 41 (BALB/c BMM) and 43 (C57BL/6 BMM)<br />

proteins and reduced the abundance <strong>of</strong> 4 (BALB/c BMM) and 9 (C57BL/6 BMM) from the total <strong>of</strong><br />

45 (BALB/c BMM) and 52 (C57BL/6 BMM) regulated proteins.<br />

The overlap <strong>of</strong> the list <strong>of</strong> proteins that differed significantly in their abundance between IFN-γ<br />

treated BMM and the non-treated medium control and the list <strong>of</strong> differentially expressed genes<br />

that were found after IFN-γ treatment amounted to 24 (BALB/c BMM) and 20 (C57BL/6 BMM).<br />

Compared to 43 (BALB/c BMM) and 50 (C57BL/6 BMM) regulated proteins also available <strong>by</strong><br />

transcriptome analysis and 52 (BALB/c BMM) and 53 (C57BL/6 BMM) differentially expressed<br />

genes also accessible <strong>by</strong> LC-MS/MS proteome analysis, the overlap <strong>of</strong> regulated proteins and<br />

genes added up to 38 % to 56 % (Table R.3.2 A).<br />

The first number in the table always refers to the proteins or genes that were available for analysis with both approaches,<br />

microarray and LC-MS/MS analysis. In brackets, the number <strong>of</strong> regulated proteins or genes without restriction to the accessibility <strong>by</strong><br />

both methods is given.<br />

The comparison <strong>of</strong> IFN-γ effects in BMM <strong>of</strong> the two strains BALB/c and C57BL/6 resulted in a<br />

high overlap <strong>of</strong> 307 differentially expressed genes (Fig. R.3.2 A) and 29 proteins with significantly<br />

different abundance (Fig. R.3.2 C). Even when the gene or protein was not significantly expressed<br />

in one <strong>of</strong> the strains a similar expression trend in BMM <strong>of</strong> both strains was observed (Fig. R.3.2 B,<br />

D).<br />
