GSE21374 transcriptome sequencing data were obtained. Transplanted nephrectomy specimens from CAD patients were collected and studied to explore the infiltration of M1 and M2 macrophages using immunofluorescence, PCR, and Western blotting (WB). A co-culture model of M1 macrophages, polarized from mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) or Raw264.7, and aortic endothelial cells was established, and EndMT was tested using PCR and WB. RNA-sequencing was performed on the macrophages from the mouse BMDM. The TNF-α secreted from the polarized M1 macrophages was verified using ELISA. Based on the GEO public database, it was observed that macrophages were significantly infiltrated in CAD allograft tissues, with CD68(+) iNOS(+) M1 macrophages significantly infiltrating the glomeruli of allograft tissues, and CD68(+)CD206(+) M2 macrophages notably infiltrating the allograft interstitial area. The mRNA expression of the M1 macrophage marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was significantly increased (p < 0.05) and M1 macrophages were found to significantly promote the EndMT process in vitro. RNA-Sequencing analysis revealed that TNF signaling could be involved in the EndMT induced by M1 macrophages, and in vitro studies confirmed that TNF-α in the supernatant was significantly higher. The renal allograft tissues of CAD patients were found to be significantly infiltrated by M1 macrophages and could promote the progression of CAD by secreting the cytokine TNF-α to induce EndMT in endothelial cells.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "We employed R3.6.1 to analyze all data, using the Limma package to differentially analyze public transcriptome data, and the Clusterprofiler package to analyze gene enrichment based on GO (Gene Ontology) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) databases.
