Identification of Splenic Reservoir Monocytes and Their Deployment to Inflammatory Sites

Abstract: A current paradigm states that monocytes circulate freely and patrol blood vessels but differentiate irreversibly into dendritic cells (DCs) or macrophages upon tissue entry. Here we show that bona fide undifferentiated monocytes reside in the spleen and outnumber their equivalents in circulation. The reservoir monocytes assemble in clusters in the cords of the subcapsular red pulp and are distinct from macrophages and DCs. In response to ischemic myocardial injury, splenic monocytes increase their motility, e… Show more

“…86e88 A splenic reservoir of monocytes has been identified in mice, which is mobilized in response to myocardial infarction and lung adenocarcinoma. 89,90 Alternatively, emerging studies support the notion of parenchymal macrophage repopulation in tissues and not from bone marrow, which is an interesting field of future study that may, in part, account for a lack of BrdU þ CD163 macrophages in parenchymal lesions in our study. 91,92 The Presence of CD163 þ BrdU þ Macrophages in the Meninges and Choroid Plexus Underscores Differences between CNS Compartments and a Possible Route of Viral Entry into the CNS Given that we did not observe CD163 þ BrdU þ macrophages in the perivascular space and SIVE lesions, it is interesting that we observed CD163 þ BrdU þ macrophages in the meninges and choroid plexus in numbers equal to or greater than MAC387 þ BrdU þ macrophages.…”

“…In this context, it has been suggested that bone marrow monocytes are mobilized into the bloodstream by a GM-CSFdependent pathway in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis prior to their trafficking into the inflamed brain (40). Swirski et al (43) showed that, in response to ischemic myocardial injury, splenic monocytes are rapidly deployed to the injured site. However, despite there being significantly fewer splenic monocytes on day 5 following serum transfer in C57BL/6 mice compared with GM-CSF Ϫ/Ϫ mice, there was little change in monocyte/macrophage cell numbers in both strains during arthritis development, which was in contrast to that seen in the bone marrow.…”

“…We next determined whether a lack of GM-CSF influenced monocyte numbers in the bone marrow and/or spleen following K/BxN serum transfer, since these tissues have both been suggested to be a source of Ly-6C high blood monocytes during inflammation (33,43). Following serum transfer, there was an early slight reduction in the number of bone marrow monocytes (identified as Mac-1 high Ly-6C high [33]).…”

“…Swirski et al [82] have reported that the number of monocytes in the heart following myocardial infarction exceeds the number in circulation, identifying the spleen as a reservoir of undifferentiated monocytes which are rapidly deployed after myocardial infarction [82]. The role of the spleen in cerebral ischemia has also been investigated.…”
