The innate immune response triggered by CpG DNA can improve host survival following pathogen challenge. Whether CpG ODN-mediated immune activation leads to global molecular changes in cells that are detectable by FTIR spectroscopy is currently unknown. Here, we used Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to monitor the molecular changes in murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells upon activation with CpG DNA and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). By PCA analysis, we identified the sources of variation to follow with detailed spectral analysis. CpG DNA and LPS treatment increase the total nucleic acid concentration from the early periods post-activation, and DNA synthesis follows RNA synthesis. RNA-specific peak shows the activation state of macrophages in early periods post-treatment. CpG DNA and LPS result in an initial rapid increase in the total protein concentration, leveling off two hours post-activation. Both activated groups increase the concentration of fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol, pointing out to a shared synthesis pathway and de novo lipogenesis. This study, for the first time, demonstrates the use of FTIR spectroscopy as an independent modality to monitor the activation dynamics of murine macrophages upon activation with CpG DNA and LPS.
