Here we analyzed the transcriptional responses of human monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and neutrophils to stimulation by type 1 cytokines (IFN-g, IFN-b and IFN-l) type 2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-13) and the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-10. This generated a myeloid cell cytokine specific response matrix to infer representation of myeloid cells and the cytokine environment they may encounter during infection and in tumors. Neutrophils were surprisingly responsive to type 1 and type 2 cytokine stimulation but did not respond to IL-10. We identified transcripts specific to IFN-b stimulation, whereas other IFN signature genes were upregulated by both IFN-g and IFN-b. When used to deconvolute blood profiles from tuberculosis patients, the IFN-b specific neutrophil signature was surprisingly reduced in TB patients with active disease whereas the shared response to IFN-g and IFN-b in neutrophils was increased. When applied to glioma patients, transcripts of neutrophils exposed to IL-4 or IL-13 and monocyte responses to IFN-g or IFN-b emerged as opposing predictors of survival in samples from patients with glioma. This approach may help delineate biologic...
