Project description:Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) are a key model system for studying macrophage biology in vitro. Commonly used methods to differentiate macrophages from bone marrow are treatment with either recombinant M-CSF or the supernatant of L929 cells, which secrete M-CSF. However, little is known about the composition of L929 conditioned media (CM) and how it affects BMDM phenotype. Here, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to characterise the kinetics of protein secretion from L929 cells over a two-week period. While M-CSF is very abundant in L929 CM, we identified several other immune-regulatory proteins at surprisingly high abundance. L929 CM induced a slightly pre-activated phenotype and the expression of a number of known innate immune proteins in macrophages. This resource will be valuable to all researchers using L929 CM for the differentiation of BMDMs.

Project description:Macrophages have distinct characteristics depending on their microenvironment. We performed proteomic analysis between M1 and M2 macrophages and found that cellular metabolism is the key regulator of macrophage function. We used microarray to support proteomic data between M1 and M2 macrophages. M1 macrophages are obtained using cell sorting of CD45+MHCII+CD8a-F4/80+ population from C57BL/6J bone marrow cell derived heterogenous cells under GM-CSF conditioning for 7 days. M2 macrophages are differentiated with 20% L929 cell supernatant for 7 days and sorted from CD45+F4/80+CD11b+ population.

Project description:Ovarian cancer is the most fatal tumor characterized by an abundance of tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) infiltrations in women. Functional TAMs, which mainly present M2-like phenotypes and perform key functions on tumor progress, have been considered an attractive target for ovarian cancer therapy. Cardamonin showed an excellent antitumor activity in multiple tumor cells. This study aimed to investigate the role of cardamonin on TAMs. With the conditioned medium of ovarian cancer cells, macrophages were induced to TAMs and, accordingly, promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ovarian cancer cells. Cardamonin suppressed alternatively activated (M2) polarization of TAMs and downregulated TAM-secreted tumorigenic factors, thereby hindering the pro-tumor function of TAMs on ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, cardamonin inhibited tumor growth in xenograft nude mice and lowered the expression of CD163 and CD206. Mechanistically, cardamonin inhibited the phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), resulting in the suppression of M2 polarization. Furthermore, STAT3 is tightly related with mTOR activity. Altogether, these findings implied that cardamonin suppresses the pro-tumor function of TAMs by decreasing M2 polarization via mTOR inhibition, and cardamonin may be a potential therapeutic agent for ovarian cancer.

Project description:Endothelial cells and macrophages are known to engage in tight and specific interactions that contribute to the modulation of vascular function. Here we show that adult endothelial cells provide critical signals for the selective growth and differentiation of macrophages from several types of hematopoietic progenitor cells. The process features the formation of well-organized colonies that exhibit progressive differentiation from the center to the periphery and towards an M2-like phenotype, characterized by enhanced expression of Tie2 and CD206/Mrc1. These colonies are long-lived as long as the contact with the endothelium is maintained; removal of the endothelial monolayer results in rapid dissolution of the macrophage colonies. Not only the maintenance but also the formation of the colonies is strictly dependent on endothelial contact. We further found that M-CSF produced by the endothelium is critical for the expansion of the macrophage colonies and that blockade of M-CSF receptor impairs colony growth. Functional analyses indicate that these macrophages are capable of accelerating angiogenesis, promoting tumor growth and effectively engaging in tight associations with endothelial cells in vivo. These findings uncover a critical role of endothelial cells in the induction of macrophage differentiation and their ability to promote further polarization towards a proangiogenic phenotype. 8 samples were sequenced: bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) were stimulated with LPS, IL4, or none. Colony cells induced by endothelial cells for 7 days. Each was duplicated.

Project description:Purpose:The intratumoral microenvironment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) is highly immunosuppressive. In this study, we explored the potential functional role of HSPA12B secreted by tumor-associated endothelial cells (TECs) in M2 polarization of macrophages. Materials and Methods:Bulk-seq data from TCGA-HNSC and single-cell RNA-seq data from GSE103322 (with over 5000 cells from 18 primary HNSC cases) were used for bioinformatic analysis. RAW264.7 cell line was used for in vitro studies. Results:TECs in HNSC had significantly higher expression and secretion of HSPA12B, compared to normal human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Exogenous HSPA12B treatment increased the expression of M2 macrophage marker CD163 and CD206 on RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner but had no significant influence on CD86, an M1 macrophage marker. OLR1, a known receptor of HSP70 proteins, was specifically expressed in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in HNSC. OLR1 knockdown significantly impaired HSPA12B uptake by RAW264.7 cells and weakened HSPA12B-induced CD163 and CD206 upregulation. HSPA12B treatment increased the expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt and p-mTOR in a dose-dependent manner in RAW264.7 cells. OLR1 inhibition and LY294002 treatment significantly weakened the effects HSPA12B on activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling and M2 marker expression. Conclusion:Based on these findings, we speculated that aberrantly expressed and secreted HSPA12B by TECs could be taken by macrophages partly via OLR1, leading to subsequent activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and elevated expression of M2 markers. This mechanism shows a novel cross-talk between TECs and TAMs, which contributes to the intratumoral immunosuppressive microenvironment.

Project description:Macrophages are crucial not only for initiation of inflammation and pathogen eradication (classically polarized M1 macrophages), but also for inflammation inhibition and tissue regeneration (alternatively polarized M2 macrophages). Their polarization toward the M1 population occurs under the influence of interferon-? + lipopolysaccharide (IFN-? + LPS), while alternatively polarized M2 macrophages evolve upon, e.g., interlukin 4 (IL-4) or cortisol stimulation. This in vitro study focused on a possible role for macrophage-derived cortisol in M1/M2 polarization in common carp. We studied the expression of molecules involved in cortisol synthesis/conversion from and to cortisone like 11?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 and 3. (11?-HSD2 and 3) and 11?-hydroxylase (CYP11b), as well as the expression of glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) and proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) in M1 and M2 macrophages. Lastly, we analyzed how inhibition of these molecules affect macrophage polarization. In M1 cells, upregulation of gene expression of GRs and 11?-HSD3 was found, while, in M2 macrophages, expression of 11?-hsd2 was upregulated. Moreover, blocking of cortisol synthesis/conversion and GRs or PPAR? induced changes in expression of anti-inflammatory interleukin 10 (IL-10). Consequently, our data show that carp monocytes/macrophages can convert cortisol. The results strongly suggest that cortisol, via intracrine interaction with GRs, is important for IL-10-dependent control of the activity of macrophages and for the regulation of M1/M2 polarization to finally determine the outcome of an infection.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare downstream genes of Sema6D signaling in LPS plus IFNg stimulated macrophages. Methods: Bone marrow derived macrophage mRNA profiles of 7 weeks of wild type (WT) and Sema6D-/- mice were stimulated by LPS for 4 hrs. Results: According to this comparison, we found that 550 genes were downregulated in Sema6D-/- macrophages than WT macrophages in response to LPS. Conclusions: Our study represents 62 genes were supressed in both M1 and M2 Sema6D-/- macrophage than WT macrophages, suggesting of Sema6D reverse sigaling genes.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and debilitating neurological disorder of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by infiltration of leukocytes into CNS and subsequent demyelination. Emerging evidences have revealed the beneficial roles of M2 macrophages in ameliorating experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model for MS. Here, we identify that lenalidomide alone could promote macrophages M2 polarization to prevent the progression of EAE, which is associated with subsequent inhibition of proinflammatory Th1 and Th17 cells both in peripheral lymph system and CNS. Depletion of macrophages by pharmacology treatment of clodronate liposomes or transferring lenalidomide-induced BMDMs in EAE mice completely abolished the therapeutic effect of lenalidomide or prevented EAE development, respectively. The macrophages-derived IL10 was upregulated both in vivo and in vitro after lenalidomide treatment. Moreover, lenalidomide-treated IL10-dificient EAE mice had higher clinical scores and more severe CNS damage, and intravenous injection of lenalidomide-treated IL10-/- BMDMs into mice with EAE at disease onset did not reverse disease severity, implying IL10 may be essential in lenalidomide-ameliorated EAE. Mechanistically, lenalidomide significantly increased expression and autocrine secretion of IL10, subsequently activated STAT3-mediated expression of Ym1. These studies facilitate the development of potential novel therapeutic application of lenalidomide for the treatment of MS.

Project description:The ectoenzyme CD73 catalyzes the hydrolysis of AMP, and is one of the most important producers of extracellular adenosine. On regulatory T cells, CD73 is necessary for immunosuppressive functions, and on Th17 cells CD73-generated adenosine exerts anti-inflammatory effects. However, the expression and function of CD73 in pro-inflammatory M1 and in immunosuppressive M2 macrophages is largely unknown. Here we show that CD73 expression and enzyme activity were induced in in vitro polarized pro-inflammatory human M(LPS+TNF) monocytes/macrophages, while CD73 was absent from immunosuppressive M(IL-4+M-CSF)-polarized macrophages. Inhibition of CD73 activity with the inhibitor AMPCP did not affect the polarization of human monocytes. In mice, CD73 was present on resident peritoneal macrophages. In striking contrast, elicited peritoneal macrophages remained CD73 negative regardless of their polarization towards either a pro-inflammatory M(LPS) or anti-inflammatory M(IL-4c) direction. Finally, the ability of peritoneal macrophages to polarize to pro- and anti-inflammatory cells was perfectly normal in CD73-deficient mice in vivo. These data indicate that, in contrast to other major leukocyte subpopulations, CD73 activity on macrophages does not play a major role in their polarization and that in mice host CD73 on any cell type is not required in vivo for peritoneal macrophage polarization towards either a pro- or an anti-inflammatory direction.
