The wound fibroblast and macrophage. II: Their origin studied in a human after bone marrow transplantation

Abstract: The origin of the wound fibroblast and macrophage was studied in a patient following bone marrow transplantation, using sex chromosome markers. Fibroblast-like cells emigrating from explants of a 5-day-old skin wound had the host karyotype, whereas macrophages had donor markers. These results suggest that the wound fibroblast in man is of local tissue origin, whereas wound macrophages are derived from haemopoietic tissue.

“…Locally administered antimacrophage serum had no effect on the number of circulating monocytes, nor did it affect the number of wound macrophages. Similar conclusions have been drawn conceming the bone marrow origin of macrophages in healing wounds in humans by Stewart et al (1981). By observing the karyotype (sex chromosome markers) ofmacrophages and fibroblasts emigrating from explants of a 5-day skin wound in a 9-year-old girl who had recently received a bone marrow graft from her l1-year-old brother, it was found that the fibroblasts had the karyotype of the recipient, while the macrophages bore the karyotype of the donor.…”

“…There are several different subtypes of lung macrophages identified as morphologically and functionally heterogeneous from one another, including alveolar, interstitial, intravascular, and airway macrophages [90]. Of note, AMs are believed to be long-lived radio-and chemotherapy-resistant cells and they are slow to turn over and be replaced by donor-derived cells following HSCT [57,58,65,71,74,93,94]. Cell-surface receptors and secreted products allow lung macrophages to respond to environmental factors and aid in the clearance of microorganisms in the distal airways and alveolar spaces [90,104].…”

“…It was originally thought that dermal fibroblasts/myofibroblasts involved in the healing of a cutaneous wound were derived from cells situated locally in the dermis. To support that hypothesis many studies are available (Grillo, 1963;Ross et al, 1970;Stewart et al, 1981;Postlethwaite et al, 2004).…”
