The Role of Macrophage Polarization in Infectious and Inflammatory Diseases

Abstract: Macrophages, found in circulating blood as well as integrated into several tissues and organs throughout the body, represent an important first line of defense against disease and a necessary component of healthy tissue homeostasis. Additionally, macrophages that arise from the differentiation of monocytes recruited from the blood to inflamed tissues play a central role in regulating local inflammation. Studies of macrophage activation in the last decade or so have revealed that these cells adopt a staggering … Show more

“…M1 macrophages usually express a high level of cell surface markers such as CCR7, while M2 macrophages express a higher level of the mannose receptor (CD206) [15]. We accessed the expression of these surface markers by flow cytometry.…”

“…Macrophage phenotype and function are regulated, in large part, by their environmental milieu [42][43][44][45]. On the basis of cell morphology and function, two populations of activated macrophages have been identified [46].…”

“…These cells are pro-inflammatory and secrete inflammatory mediators (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-15, IL-18, IL-23, IFN-γ), stimulate inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and promote the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species [47]. The second macrophage phenotype, the alternatively activated M2 macrophage, is induced by IL-4, IL-10, IL-13 and glucocorticoid hormones [42][43][44][45]. M2 macrophages play an important role in the resolution of inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory cytokine expression and promoting wound healing [42][43][44][45].…”

“…Не-давние исследования свидетельствуют о том, что зараженные вирусом ТОРС мыши, нокаутиро-ванные по STAT1, характеризовались более зна-чительным снижением веса и более выраженной патологией в легких, ассоциированной с повы-шенной продукцией М2-индикаторов, таких как YM1, FIZZ1, IL-4 и IL-13 [76]. Отсутствие выра-женного поражения легких у мышей с двойным нокаутом STAT1/STAT6 -/-также поддерживает концепцию о том, что М2 вносят вклад в патоге-нез ТОРС [51].…”
