PLD1 and PLD2 differentially regulate the balance of macrophage polarization in inflammation and tissue injury.

ABSTRACT: Phospholipase D (PLD) isoforms PLD1 and PLD2 serve as the primary nodes where diverse signaling pathways converge. However, their isoform-specific functions remain unclear. We showed that PLD1 and PLD2 selectively couple to toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and interleukin 4 receptor (IL-4R) and differentially regulate macrophage polarization of M1 and M2 via the LPS-MyD88 axis and the IL-4-JAK3 signaling, respectively. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) enhanced TLR4 or MyD88 interaction with PLD1; IL-4 induced IL-4R or JAK3 association with PLD2, indicating isozyme-specific signaling events. PLD1 and PLD2 are indispensable for M1 polarization and M2 polarization, respectively. Genetic and pharmacological targeting of PLD1 conferred protection against LPS-induced sepsis, cardiotoxin-induced muscle injury
