M2 Macrophage Polarization

Trichinella spiralis represents an effective treatment for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The effects of recombinant T. spiralis (TS) 53-kDa protein (rTsP53) on acute lung injury (ALI) remain unclear. Here, mice were divided randomly into a control group, LPS group, and rTsP53 + LPS group. ALI was induced in BALB/c mice by LPS (10 mg/kg) injected via the tail vein. rTsP53 (200 µl; 0.4 μg/μl) was injected subcutaneously three times at an interval of 5 d before inducing ALI in the rTsP53+LPS group. Lung pathological score, the ratio and markers of classic activated macrophages (M1) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2), cytokine profiles in alveolar lavage fluid, and pyroptosis protein expression in lung tissue were investigated. RTsP53 decreased lung pathological score. Furthermore, rTsP53 suppressed inflammation by increasing IL-4, IL-10, and IL-13. There was an increase in alveolar M2 macrophage numbers, with an increase in CD206 and arginase-1-positive cells and a decrease in alveolar M1 markers such as CD197 and iNOS. In addition, the polarization of M2 macrophages induced by rTsP53 treatment could alleviate ALI by suppressing lung pyroptosis. RTsP53 was identified as a potential agent for treating LPS-induced ALI via alleviating lung pyroptosis by promoting M2 macrophage polarization.

Nucleolin Expression

Background: Nucleolin has multiple functions within cell survival and proliferation pathways. Our previous studies have revealed that nucleolin can significantly reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by promoting myocardial angiogenesis and reducing myocardial apoptosis. In this study, we attempted to determine the role of nucleolin in myocardial infarction (MI) injury recovery and the underlying mechanism. Methods: Male BALB/c mice aged 6–8 weeks were used to set up MI models by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. Nucleolin expression in the heart was downregulated by intramyocardial injection of a lentiviral vector expressing nucleolin-specific small interfering RNA. Macrophage infiltration and polarization were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence. Cytokines were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Nucleolin expression in myocardium after MI induction decreased a lot at early phase and elevated at late phase. Nucleolin knockdown impaired heart systolic and diastolic functions and decreased the survival rate after MI. Macrophage infiltration increased in the myocardium after MI. Most macrophages belonged to the M1 phenotype at early phase (2 days) and the M2 phenotype increased greatly at late phase after MI. Nucleolin knockdown in the myocardium led to a decrease in M2 macrophage polarization with no effect on macrophage infiltration after MI. Furthermore, Notch3 and STAT6, key regulators of M2 macrophage polarization, were upregulated by nucleolin in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Conclusions: Lack of nucleolin impaired heart function during recovery after MI by reducing M2 macrophage polarization. This finding probably points to a new therapeutic option for ischemic heart disease.

Osteoarthritis of the knee (OAK) is a chronic degenerative disease and progresses with an imbalance of cytokines and macrophages in the joint. Studies regarding the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a point-of-care treatment for OAK have reported on its effect on tissue repair and suppression of inflammation but few have reported on its effect on macrophages and macrophage polarization. Based on our clinical experience with two types of PRP kits Cellaid Serum Collection Set P type kit (leukocyte-poor-PRP) and an Autologous Protein Solution kit (APS leukocyte-rich-PRP), we investigated the concentrations of humoral factors in PRPs prepared from the two kits and the effect of humoral factors on macrophage phenotypes. We found that the concentrations of cell components and humoral factors differed between PRPs purified using the two kits; APS had a higher concentration of M1 and M2 macrophage related factors. The addition of PRP supernatants to the culture media of monocyte-derived macrophages and M1 polarized macrophages revealed that PRPs suppressed M1 macrophage polarization and promoted M2 macrophage polarization. This research is the first to report the effect of PRPs purified using commercial kits on macrophage polarization.
