Head Kidney-Derived Macrophages of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) Show Plasticity and Functional Polarization upon Differential Stimulation

Abstract: Cells from the myeloid lineage are pluripotent. To investigate the potential of myeloid cell polarization in a primitive vertebrate species, we phenotypically and functionally characterized myeloid cells of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) during culture. Flow cytometric analysis, Ab labeling of cell surface markers, and light microscopy showed the presence of a major population of heterogeneous macrophages after culture. These head kidney-derived macrophages can be considered the fish equivalent of bone marro… Show more

“…Peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL), mid-kidney leukocytes, head kidney leukocytes (HKL), and total thymocytes were isolated as described previously (14,15) and resuspended in the appropriate medium for the experiment as described below. Head kidney-derived mature macrophages (referred to as macrophages) were obtained upon 6 d culture of HKL as previously described (16).…”

“…Activated macrophages produce pro-and/or anti-inflammatory cytokines. Innate activation of carp macrophages is implied by activation of IL-1β, TNF-α and CXC chemokines genes [9]. In vivo and in vitro stimulation of carp head kidney phagocytes with LPS or peptidoglycan successfully induced IL-1β gene activation [7,12,13].…”
