M2 Phenotype

Macrophages are highly plastic cells with the ability to differentiate into both M1- and M2-polarized phenotypes. As a distinct M2-polarized population, tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote tumorigenesis owing to their pro-angiogenic and immune-suppressive functions in tumour microenvironment. In the present study, we found that the microRNA-720 (miR-720) was down-regulated in TAMs isolated from breast carcinomas and M2-polarization macrophages. Overexpression of miR-720 attenuated M2 phenotype expression and thus inhibited M2 polarization. We further identified GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3), a transcriptional factor that plays an important role in M2 macrophage polarization, was the downstream target of miR-720. Ectopic expression of GATA3 restored the M2 phenotype in miR-720 overexpressed macrophages. Importantly, overexpression of miR-720 inhibited pro-migration behaviour and phagocytic ability of M2-polarized macrophages. Thus, our data suggest that miR-720 plays an important role in regulating M2 macrophage polarization and function.

Abstract Background: Macrophages are essential for fracture healing, acting mainly through remodeling of the extracellular matrix and promotion of angiogenesis. The role of macrophages in regulating osteogenic differentiation, particularly that of the M2 phenotype, is increasingly researched. Baicalein (BCL) had also been shown to have pro-fracture-healing effects.Results: In this study, we developed mesoporous silica and Fe3O4 composite-targeted nanoparticles loaded with BCL (BCL@MMSNPs-SS-CD-NW), that could be magnetically delivered to the fracture site. These induced macrophage recruitment in a targeted manner, polarizing them towards the M2 phenotype, and thereby inducing MSCs towards osteoblastic differentiation. The mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (MSNs) were prepared with surface sulfhydrylation and amination modification, and the mesoporous channels were blocked with β-cyclodextrin. The outer layer of the mesoporous silicon was added with an amantane-modified NW targeting peptide to obtain the targeted nano-system. After entering macrophages, BCL could be released from nanoparticles since the disulfide linker could be cleaved by intracellular glutathione (GSH) resulting in the removing of CD gatekeeper, which is a key element in the pro-bone-remodeling functions, such as anti-inflammation and induction of M2 macrophage polarization to facilitate osteogenic differentiation.Conclusions: This nano-system passively accumulated in the fracture site, promoting osteogenic differentiation activities, highlighting a potent therapeutic benefit with high biosafety.

Negative Regulatory Mechanism

Abstract Stat6 is known to drive macrophage M2 polarization. However, how macrophage polarization is fine-tuned by Stat6 is poorly understood. Here, we find that Lys383 of Stat6 is acetylated by the acetyltransferase CREB-binding protein (CBP) during macrophage activation to suppress macrophage M2 polarization. Mechanistically, Trim24, a CBP-associated E3 ligase, promotes Stat6 acetylation by catalyzing CBP ubiquitination at Lys119 to facilitate the recruitment of CBP to Stat6. Loss of Trim24 inhibits Stat6 acetylation and thus promotes M2 polarization in both mouse and human macrophages, potentially compromising antitumor immune responses. By contrast, Stat6 mediates the suppression of TRIM24 expression in M2 macrophages to contribute to the induction of an immunosuppressive tumor niche. Taken together, our findings establish Stat6 acetylation as an essential negative regulatory mechanism that curtails macrophage M2 polarization.

M2 Macrophage Polarization

Abstract Objectives Macrophage polarization into pro-inflammatory M1 status is associated with the pathologic progression of adipose remodeling, while M2 polarization is linked with the resolution of inflammation. Urolithin A (UroA) is a gut metabolite derived from ellagic acid found in berries and nuts. Emerging evidence suggests UroA exerts anti-inflammatory function, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. This study aims to test the hypothesis that UroA attenuates adipose inflammation by promoting M2 macrophage polarization. Methods To investigate the direct role of UroA in vitro, primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) were stimulated with LPS for M1 polarization or IL-4/IL-13 for M2 polarization. Oxygen consumption rate was determined in BMDM by Seahorse extracellular flux analyzer. The anti-inflammatory role of UroA is validated by pro-IL-1β Gaussia luciferase (iGLuc) reporter assay and IL-1β secretion in J774 macrophages. Additionally, C57BL/6 mice were fed with a HF diet for 12 weeks along with UroA administration. The M1/M2 polarization status were examined in adipose tissue macrophages (ATM) and peritoneal macrophages by qPCR and protein markers. Results UroA treatment in BMDM in vitro significantly decreased Il-1β (P < 0.001), while increasing M2 markers of Arg1, Ch313 and Mgl2 (P < 0.01). UroA treatment suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation in J774 macrophages by decreasing iGLuc activity and IL-1β secretion in a dose-dependent manner. In vivo, UroA administration reduced HF-induced adipocyte hypertrophy, inflammatory markers, and ATM recruitment (P < 0.01) in the adipose tissue. Consistently, UroA suppressed M1 polarization but switched to M2 polarization in peritoneal macrophages, evidenced by decreased M1 signature genes of Cd11c, Tnf-α, Il-6, and Il-1β (P < 0.01), while elevated M2 markers of Ch313 and Mgl2 (P < 0.05). Lastly, UroA not only inhibits HF-driven pathogenic remodeling of adipose tissue, but also promote mitochondrial function and biogenesis. Conclusions UroA attenuates HF-driven pathologic remodeling of adipose tissue by favoring M2 macrophage polarization and augmenting mitochondrial function. Intake of UroA-producing foods may be a promising intervention strategy to mitigate obesity-mediated chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction.

M2 Phenotype

Cellular cross-talk within the tumor microenvironment (TME) by exosomes is known to promote tumor progression. Tumor promoting macrophages with an M2 phenotype are suppressors of anti-tumor immunity. However, the impact of tumor-derived exosomes in modulating macrophage polarization in the lung TME is largely unknown. Herein, we investigated if lung tumor-derived exosomes alter transcriptional and bioenergetic signatures of M0 macrophages and polarize them to an M2 phenotype. The concentration of exosomes produced by p53 null H358 lung tumor cells was significantly reduced compared to A549 (p53 wild-type) lung tumor cells, consistent with p53-mediated regulation of exosome production. In co-culture studies, M0 macrophages internalized tumor-derived exosomes, and differentiated into M2 phenotype. Importantly, we demonstrate that tumor-derived exosomes enhance the oxygen consumption rate of macrophages, altering their bioenergetic state consistent with that of M2 macrophages. In vitro co-cultures of M0 macrophages with H358 exosomes demonstrated that exosome-induced M2 polarization may be p53 independent. Murine bone marrow cells and bone marrow-derived myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) co-cultured with lewis lung carcinoma (LLC)-derived exosomes differentiated to M2 macrophages. Collectively, these studies provide evidence for a novel role for lung tumor-exosomes in M2 macrophage polarization, which then offers new therapeutic targets for immunotherapy of lung cancer.

Abstract Background Many patients suffer from implant loosening after the implantation of titanium alloy caused by immune response to the foreign bodies and this could inhibit the following osteogenesis, which could possibly give rise to aseptic loosening and poor osteointegration while there is currently no appropriate solution in clinical practice. Exosome (Exo) carrying miRNA has been proven to be a suitable nanocarrier for solving this problem. In this study, we explored whether exosomes overexpressing miR-181b (Exo-181b) could exert beneficial effect on promoting M2 macrophage polarization, thus inhibiting inflammation as well as promoting osteogenesis and elaborated the underlying mechanism in vitro. Furthermore, we aimed to find whether Exo-181b could enhance osteointegration. Results In vitro, we firstly verified that Exo-181b significantly enhanced M2 polarization and inhibited inflammation by suppressing PRKCD and activating p-AKT. Then, in vivo, we verified that Exo-181b enhanced M2 polarization, reduced the inflammatory response and enhanced osteointegration. Also, we verified that the enhanced M2 polarization could indirectly promote the migration and osteogenic differentiation by secreting VEGF and BMP-2 in vitro. Conclusions Exo-181b could suppress inflammatory response by promoting M2 polarization via activating PRKCD/AKT signaling pathway, which further promoting osteogenesis in vitro and promote osteointegration in vivo.

Abstract Background: In our previous study, we found Formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) promoted the invasion and metastasis of EOC and it could be a prognostic marker for EOC. In this study, we aimed to study the possible mechanism of FPR2 in promoting EOC progression.Methods: The FPR2 ectopic expression and knockdown EOC cell lines as well as their control cell lines were established and the expression change of RhoA in each cell lines was evaluated by RT-qPCR and Western-blot. Wound healing and Transwell assays were performed to detect the migrational ability of EOCs that affected by FPR2 and RhoA. The supernatant of each EOC cell lines were used to co-culture with the macrophages, and tested the M1 and M2 macrophges biomarkers by flow cytometry. THP-1 cell line was also indcued to differentiated to M1 and M2 macrophages, FPR2 and RhoA expression in each macrophage cell lines were detected by RT-qPCR and Western-blot. Results: RhoA expression was significantly increased in EOCs along with the overexpression of FPR2, which showed a positive correlation by Pearson correlation analysis. FPR2 ectopic expression would contribute to the migrational ability of EOCs, and RhoA inhibitor (C3 transferase) would impare EOCs migration. Furthermore, FPR2 stimulated the secretion of Th2 cytokines by EOCs, which induced macrophages differentiate to M2 phenotype, while RhoA inhibitor stimulate the secretion of Th1 cytokines and induce macrophages differentiate to M1 phenotype. Moreover, compared with M1 macrophages and THP-1 cells, FPR2 and RhoA expression were significantly up-regulated in M2 macrophages.Conclusion: FPR2 stimulated M2 macrophage polarization and promote invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer cells through RhoA.

The role of microRNA (miRNA) in gestational diabetes mellitus has been widely investigated during the last decade. However, the altering effect of miR-6869-5p on immunity and placental microenvironment in gestational diabetes mellitus is largely unknown. In our study, the expression of miR-6869-5p was documented to be significantly decreased in placenta-derived mononuclear macrophages, which was also negatively related to PTPRO. Besides, PTPRO was negatively regulated by miR-6869-5p in placenta-derived mononuclear macrophages. In vitro, miR-6869-5p inhibited macrophage proliferation demonstrated by EdU and CCK-8 experiments. The inflammatory response in macrophages was also significantly inhibited by miR-6869-5p, which could regulate PTPRO as a target documented by luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, miR-6869-5p promoted M2 macrophage polarization and thus restrain inflammation. Accordingly, miR-6869-5p is involved in maintaining placental microenvironment balance by preventing from inflammation and inducing M2 macrophages in gestational diabetes mellitus.

Herein, we unfolded miR-98-5p mechanism in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD mouse model was established. The severity of colitis was assessed daily using the disease activity index (DAI). Murine peritoneal macrophages were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). MiR-98-5p, tribbles homolog 1 (Trib1), M1 and M2 macrophage marker genes mRNA expression was analyzed. The relationship between miR-98-5p and Trib1 was explored using a luciferase reporter assay. The strategy of loss-of-function was used to explore the mechanism of miR-98-5p in macrophage polarization, inflammation and IBD. The results revealed that IBD mice had higher DAI index and miR-98-5p expression when compared to the Sham group. MiR-98-5p and Trib1 displayed a targeted regulation relationship. Knockdown of miR-98-5p transformed LPS-induced M1 macrophage polarization into M2 macrophage polarization and inhibited inflammation via up-regulating Trib1. However, shTrib1 reversed the effects. In vivo experiment, silencing of miR-98-5p, diminished the DAI and promoted M2 macrophage polarization. In conclusion, knockdown of miR-98-5p changed macrophage polarization to the M2 phenotype by increasing Trib1 expression, thereby alleviating IBD symptoms.
