A PGE2-MEF2A axis enables context-dependent control of inflammatory gene expression
BMDMs or iMACs were generated via differentiation of bone marrow cells or immortalized precursors, respectively, in culture media containing m-CSF for 7 day. Upon differentiation, BMDMs or iMacs were left untreated or stimulated as described below. 1) BMDM WT were stimulated with IFNa, LPS, PGE2, IL-4, IL-10, LPS+PGE2, LPS+IL-4, LPS+IL-10, IFNa+PGE2: each condition in duplicate. This experiment was performed to investigate transcriptional cross-antagonism in the concomitant presence of pro-inflammatory (LPS or IFNa) and anti-inflammatory stimuli (IL-4, IL-10, or PGE2).  2) BMDM WT were stimulated with LPS, in the presence or absence of PFI-1 (Brd2/4 inhibitor) or SGC-CBP30 (CBP/p300 inhibitor): each condition in triplicate. This experiment was performed to define pro-inflammatory genes dependent or not on chromatin remodeling for their induction.  3) BMDM Mef2C/D proficient (Vav-Cre) or BMDM Mef2C/D KO (obtained by crossing Mef2d-/- Mef2cfl/fl with Vav-Cre mice) were stimulated with LPS, PGE2, or LPS+PGE2: each condition in triplicate. This experiment was performed to investigate the role of MEF2C-D on LPS transcritptional response. 4) MEF2A-deficient iMac clones (D7, A7, A8, C7) and MEF2A-proficient (referred to as wild-type) iMac clones (NE, B3 and D10) were generated via CRISPR/Cas9 and stimulated or not with LPS: each condition in single. This experiment was performed to investigate the role of MEF2A on LPS transcritptional response.
