Depending on the surrounding microenvironment, macrophages polarize into a wide spectrum of immunophenotypes with 2 extreme opposite ends-proinflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2. Elucidating the biochemical bases of distinct macrophage immunophenotypes, as well as discriminating between these phenotypes, are paramount to understanding the contributions of macrophage subpopulations to health and diseases. In this study, murine bone marrow-derived macrophages were treated with LPS or IL-4 to induce the M1/M(LPS) or M2/M(IL-4) state, respectively. Comparative proteomic analyses demonstrate that M1 and M2 macrophages have their own unique protein landscapes. The signature proteins of M1 and M2 macrophages are engaged in distinct signaling pathways, which offer the biochemical bases for their specialized functions. The plasma membrane proteins Clec4e and Cd72 are identified as new biomarkers to discriminate murine M1 and M2 macrophages, respectively. Comparison of the proteomes of murine and human macrophages leads to identification of 2 new shared M1 biomarkers, Gbp2/GBP2 and Acod1/ACOD1. In addition, CLEC4E is validated as a new M1 biomarker for human primary macrophages. This study provides an unbiased protein dataset of murine primary M1/M(LPS) and M2/M(IL-4) macrophages for future research in macrophage biology. The plasma membrane localization of the new biomarkers Clec4e and Cd72 facilitates their labeling and detection. The new M1 biomarkers shared by human and mouse primary macrophages have potential broad applications in both basic research and clinical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":16045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144873538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also observed severe lymphopenia in Foxn1lacz mice caused by the premature decrease in T cell production, resulting in a peripheral T cell phenotype similar to de novo aged peripheral T cells. Moreover, following T cell receptor stimulation, Foxn1lacz peripheral T cells had reduced IL-2 secretion and strong initial IFN-γ responses, resembling aged wild-type peripheral T cell responses. Lastly, influenza response in Foxn1lacz had a reduction in some aspects of T cell responses to influenza infection.

Six days after infusion, CAR/CXCR5 T cells had accumulated in the follicle-like structures in the spleen, with many in direct contact with HIV-producing cells. However, CAR/CXCR5 T-cell treatment did not reduce viral loads compared to controls, likely because CD4 T cells in the infused product became infected with and spread HIV infection.

Previously, blocking CXCR2, the common receptor for CXC chemokines, but not CXCL1 or CXCL2, resulted in attenuated neutrophil accumulation and reduced survival following pulmonary L. pneumophila infection. However, gene-deficient mice were unavailable at that time and therefore, mechanisms of host protection and neutrophil homeostasis, including granulopoiesis and neutrophil release from the bone marrow, have not been investigated. Here, we delineated the role of CXCL1 and CXCL2 in host defense and neutrophil homeostasis using gene-deficient mice. Deficiency of CXCL1, but not CXCL2, impairs bacterial clearance and neutrophil accumulation in the lung. Furthermore, the increase of IL-18 and IFN-γ proteins in the lung caused by L. pneumophila infection is decreased in Cxcl1-/- mice. Moreover, this reduction in IFN-γ production in Cxcl1-/- mice is associated with a decrease in the γδTCR-expressing IFN-γ+ subset. In vivo treatment with IL-18 or IFN-γ was found to restore neutrophil-dependent bacterial clearance in Cxcl1-/- mice. Production of CXCL1 not only by hematopoietic cells, but also by nonhematopoietic cells, is critical to augment host defense. In Cxcl1-/- mice, there is an impairment in emergency granulopoiesis in bone marrow and in neutrophil release to the blood. Also, Il-18-/- mice displayed impairment of neutrophil recruitment to the lung and bacterial clearance, neutrophil release, and emergency granulopoiesis.
