A Modified Collagen Dressing Induces Transition of Inflammatory to Reparative Phenotype of Wound Macrophages.

ABSTRACT: Collagen containing wound-care dressings are extensively used. However, the mechanism of action of these dressings remain unclear. Earlier studies utilizing a modified collagen gel (MCG) dressing demonstrated improved vascularization of ischemic wounds and better healing outcomes. Wound macrophages are pivotal in facilitating wound angiogenesis and timely healing. The current study was designed to investigate the effect of MCG on wound macrophage phenotype and function. MCG augmented recruitment of macrophage at the wound-site, attenuated pro-inflammatory and promoted anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. Additionally, MCG increased anti-inflammatory IL-10, IL-4 and pro-angiogenic VEGF production, indicating a direct role of MCG in resolving wound inflammation and improving angiogenesis. At the wound-site, impairment in clearance of apoptotic cell bioburden enables chronic inflammation. Engulfment of apoptotic cells by macrophages (efferocytosis) resolves inflammation via a miR-21-PDCD4-IL-10 pathway. MCG-treated wound macrophages exhibited a significantly bolstered efferocytosis index. Such favorable outcome significantly induced miR-21 expression. MCG-mediated IL-10 production was dampened under conditions of miR-21 knockdown pointing towards miR-21 as a causative factor. Pharmacological inhibition of JNK attenuated IL-10 production by MCG, implicating miR-21-JNK pathway in MCG-mediated IL-10 production by macrophages. This work provides direct evidence demonstrating that a collagen-based wound-care dressing may influence wound macrophage function and therefore modify wound inflammation outcomes.

Project description:Apolipoprotein E (apoE) exerts potent antiinflammatory effects. Here, we investigated the effect of apoE on the functional phenotype of macrophages.Human apoE receptors very-low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDL-R) and apoE receptor-2 (apoER2) were stably expressed in RAW264.7 mouse macrophages. In these cells, apoE downregulated markers of the proinflammatory M1 phenotype (inducible nitric oxide synthase, interleukin [IL]-12, macrophage inflammatory protein-1?) but upregulated markers of the antiinflammatory M2 phenotype (arginase I, SOCS3, IL-1 receptor antagonist [IL-1RA]). In addition, M1 macrophage responses (migration, generation of reactive oxygen species, antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity, phagocytosis), as well as poly(I:C)- or interferon-?-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines; cyclooxygenase-2 expression; and activation of nuclear factor-?B, I?B, and STAT1, were suppressed in VLDL-R- or apoER2-expressing cells. Conversely, the suppression of the M2 phenotype and the enhanced response to poly(I:C) were observed in apoE-producing bone marrow macrophages derived from VLDL-R-deficient mice but not wild-type or low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice. The modulatory effects of apoE on macrophage polarization were inhibited in apoE receptor-expressing RAW264.7 cells exposed to SB220025, a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor, and PP1, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Accordingly, apoE induced tyrosine kinase-dependent activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in VLDL-R- or apoER2-expressing macrophages. Under in vivo conditions, apoE-/- mice transplanted with apoE-producing wild-type bone marrow showed increased plasma IL-1RA levels, and peritoneal macrophages of transplanted animals were shifted to the M2 phenotype (increased IL-1RA production and CD206 expression).ApoE signaling via VLDL-R or apoER2 promotes macrophage conversion from the proinflammatory M1 to the antiinflammatory M2 phenotype. This effect may represent a novel antiinflammatory activity of apoE.
