Transcriptional profiles of macrophages in resolving inflammation

ABSTRACT: We have performed a comprehensive transcriptional analysis of specific monocyte and macrophage (MM-CM-^X) subsets during an acute self-resolving inflammatory insult. Following initial induction of acute inflammation, tissue resident (Resident) MM-CM-^X are rapidly M-bM-^@M-^XclearedM-bM-^@M-^Y from the inflammatory foci, only becoming recoverable as inflammation resolves. Monocytes are recruited to the inflammatory lesion where they differentiate into MM-CM-^X. We term these monocyte-derived MM-CM-^X M-bM-^@M-^Xinflammation-associatedM-bM-^@M-^Y to distinguish them from Resident MM-CM-^X which are present throughout the inflammatory response and can renew during the resolution of inflammation by proliferation. Comparative analysis of the Mo and MM-CM-^X populations (both M-bM-^@M-^Xinflammation-associatedM-bM-^@M-^Y and Resident MM-CM-^X) identifies select genes expressed in subsets of M-bM-^@M-^Xinflammation-associatedM-bM-^@M-^Y and Resident MM-CM-^X that play important roles in the resolution of inflammation and/or for immunity, including molecules involved in antigen presentation, cell cycle and others associated with M-bM-^@M-^XimmaturityM-bM-^@M-^Y and MM-CM-^X activation. We purified monocyte and macrophage populations from the peritoneal cavity of C57BL/6 mice 4, 18, 72 and 168 hours after the induction of inflammation with intraperitoneal administration of zymosan (2x10^7 particles). We also purified tissue resident macrophages and Ly-6B+ bone marrow monocytes from naive mice as reference populations.
