Abstract
AbstractChronic, low-grade inflammation has a widespread and significant impact on health, especially in Western society. While inflammation is beneficial for the removal of microbes, low-grade inflammation never resolves and can cause or worsen other diseases. The process by which low-grade inflammation occurs remains poorly understood. Here we exposed murine bone-marrow derived monocytes to chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation at low dose or high dose, as well as a PBS control. The cells were profiled for genome-wide H3K27ac modification and gene expression. The gene expression of TRAM-deficient and IRAK-M-deficient monocytes with LPS exposure was also analyzed. We discover that low-grade inflammation preferentially utilizes the TRAM/TRIF-dependent pathway of TLR4 signaling, and induces the expression of interferon response genes. In contrast, acute inflammation uniquely upregulates metabolic and proliferative pathways that also appear to be TRAM-dependent. The extensive differences in the epigenomic landscape between low-dose and high-dose conditions suggest the importance of epigenetic regulations in driving differential responses. Our data provide potential targets for future mechanistic or therapeutic studies.
