Interstitial Macrophage Phenotypes in Schistosoma-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension


ABSTRACT: Schistosomiasis, a prevalent cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) globally, triggers type 2 inflammation, with interstitial macrophages (IMs) derived from monocytes playing a crucial role. These IMs produce thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), activating TGF-β and driving PH pathology. Two distinct IM subpopulations were identified: resident FOLR2+ IMs expressing monocyte recruitment factors, and recruited CCR2+ IMs expressing TSP-1. Upon exposure to Schistosoma, the CCR2+ subpopulation expanded. Flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing confirmed these findings, revealing crosstalk between IM subpopulations. The resident FOLR2+ IMs increased expression of monocyte recruitment ligands, while the recruited CCR2+ IMs expressed elevated TSP-1, activating TGF-β and contributing to PH. This study provides insights into the complex interplay of IM subpopulations in Schistosoma-induced PH, shedding light on potential therapeutic targets for this global health concern.
