Disease Specific Signatures Identified by RNA‐seq of Sorted Lung Cellular Populations

Abstract

Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is among the top indications for patients undergoing lung transplantation worldwide. While our group and others have demonstrated a role for monocyte‐derived alveolar macrophages in the development of lung fibrosis in murine models, it is unknown if human alveolar macrophages play a similar role in the development of fibrotic ILD. We hypothesized that transcriptional profiling of AMs isolated from lung transplant donors and recipients as well as from murine alveolar macrophages in a bleomycin‐induced lung fibrosis model would demonstrate homology of involved genes.
