A searchable atlas of pathogen-sensitive lncRNA networks in human macrophages.
Nat. Commun. 16:4733 (2025)
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) are crucial yet underexplored regulators of human immunity. Here we develop GRADR, a method integrating gradient profiling with RNA-binding proteome analysis, to map the protein interactomes of all expressed RNAs in a single experiment to study mechanisms of lncRNA-mediated regulation of human primary macrophages. Applying GRADR alongside CRISPR-multiomics, we reveal a network of NFκB-dependent lncRNAs, including LINC01215, AC022816.1 and ROCKI, which modulate distinct aspects of macrophage immunity, particularly through interactions with mRNA-processing factors, such as hnRNP proteins. We further uncover the function of ROCKI in repressing the messenger of the anti-inflammatory GATA2 transcription factor, thus promoting macrophage activation. Lastly, all data are consolidated in the SMyLR web interface, a searchable reference catalog for exploring lncRNA functions and pathway-dependencies in immune cells. Our results thus not only highlight the important functions of lncRNAs in immune regulation, but also provide a rich resource for lncRNA studies.
