GSE113111 sc-RNA sequencing of skeletal muscle macrophages during T. gondii infection and injury

Contributors : Richard M Jin ; Elizabeth A WohlfertSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusThe proper coordination of macrophages is essential for skeletal muscle repair. However, the full heterogenity of macrophages responding to injury has yet to be elucidated on the single-cell level. Furthermore, chronic inflammation may shift macrophage heterogeneity at steady-state and affect the generation of heterogeneity necessary for tissue repair. We use scRNA-sequencing to determine the heterogeneity of skeletal muscle macrophages during infection and wound repair (uninfected and infected). We identify multiple transcriptionally distinct macrophage subsets during injury in uninfected mice as well as during infection at steady-state. Interestingly, in response to injury, infected skeletal muscle macrophages fail to generate certain subsets of reparative macrophages in a timely fashion.
