Macrophages are a diverse set of cells present in all body compartments. This diversity is imprinted by their ontogenetic origin (embryonal versus adult bone marrow-derived cells); the organ context; activation or deactivation various signals contexts microbial invasion, tissue damage, and metabolic derangement; polarization adaptive T cell responses. Classic responses macrophages include tolerance, priming, wide spectrum states, including M1, M2, M2-like. Moreover, can retain long-term imprinting encounters (trained innate immunity). Single-cell analysis mononuclear phagocytes health disease has added new dimension to our understanding macrophage differentiation activation. Epigenetic landscapes, transcription factors, microRNA networks underlie adaptability different environmental cues. Macrophage plasticity, an essential component chronic inflammation, its involvement human diseases, most notably cancer, discussed here as paradigm.

Immune cell function and metabolism are closely linked. Many studies have now clearly demonstrated that alterations in cellular influence immune that, conversely, determines the metabolic state. Less well understood, however, effects of systemic or whole organism nutritional status on metabolism. Several undernutrition is associated with immunosuppression, which leads to both increased susceptibility infection protection against several types autoimmune disease, whereas overnutrition low-grade, chronic inflammation increases risk cardiovascular promotes autoreactivity, disrupts protective immunity.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a prototype of lethal, chronic, progressive interstitial lung disease unknown etiology. Over the past decade, macrophage has been recognized to play significant role in IPF pathogenesis. Depending on local microenvironments, macrophages can be polarized either classically activated (M1) or alternatively (M2) phenotypes. In general, M1 are responsible for wound healing after alveolar epithelial injury, while M2 designated resolve processes terminate inflammatory responses lung. pathological consequence resulted from altered response persistent injury. this review, we intend summarize current state knowledge regarding process polarization and its mediators pathogenesis fibrosis. Our goal update understanding mechanisms underlying initiation progression IPF, by which, expect provide help developing effective therapeutic strategies clinical settings.

Macrophages are crucial innate immune cells that maintain tissue homeostasis and defend against pathogens; however, their infiltration into tumors has been associated with adverse outcomes. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) represent a significant component of the inflammatory infiltrate in breast tumors, extensive TAMs linked to poor prognosis cancer. Here, we detail how impede productive tumor immunity cycle by limiting antigen presentation reducing activation cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) while simultaneously supporting cell survival, angiogenesis, metastasis. There is an urgent need overcome TAM-mediated suppression for durable anti-tumor To date, failure fully characterize TAM biology classify multiple subsets hindered advancement therapeutic targeting.

It has long been known that in vitro polarized macrophages differ morphology. Stemming from a conventional immunohistology observation, we set out to test the hypothesis morphology of tumor-associated (TAMs) colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) represents correlate functional diversity with prognostic significance. Density and morphological metrics TAMs were measured correlated clinicopathological variables. While density did not survival CLM patients, cell area identified small (S-TAM) large (L-TAM) associated 5-yr disease-free rates 27.8% 0.2%, respectively (P < 0.0001). RNA sequencing morphologically distinct LXR/RXR as most enriched pathway macrophages, up-regulation genes involved cholesterol metabolism, scavenger receptors, MERTK, complement. In single-cell analysis mononuclear phagocytes tissues, S-TAM L-TAM signatures differentially individual clusters.
