Local Macrophage Proliferation, Rather than Recruitment from the Blood, Is a Signature of T H 2 Inflammation

Abstract: A defining feature of inflammation is the accumulation of innate immune cells in the tissue that are thought to be recruited from the blood. We reveal that a distinct process exists in which tissue macrophages undergo rapid in situ proliferation in order to increase population density. This inflammatory mechanism occurred during T helper 2 (Th2)-related pathologies under the control of the archetypal Th2 cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4), and was a fundamental component of Th2 inflammation because exogenous IL-4 w… Show more

“…In mice, tissue macrophages have been shown to proliferate in response to IL-4 produced in type 2 helper T-cell immune responses. 85 Although historically macrophages are not thought to divide in humans and nonhuman primates, the local microenvironment in SIVE or HIVE may support proliferation of CD163 þ macrophages. Another possibility is that CD163 þ macrophages are recruited to the perivascular space and SIVE lesions from sites other than the bone marrow.…”

“…Moreover, in a mouse model of type II inflammation using nematode infection, local IL-4-dependent macrophage proliferation is shown to be a key determinant of the numbers of M2-polarized macrophages in the lung [21]. In the same vein, a recent paper in this Journal by Taylor and colleagues demonstrates that macrophage accumulation in the inflamed peritoneum depends on macrophage proliferation [22].…”

“…17,18 The mechanism underlying this process is not clear, although PI3K/AKT signaling has been implicated. 16 Here we show that (i) in vitro, the low, basal level of p53 activity in IL4-polarized M2 macrophages is associated with significant cell proliferation and that loss of p53 potentiates, whereas pharmacological activation of p53 impairs M2-mediated proliferation, and (ii) in vivo, IL4 stimulation increased peritoneal macrophage cellularity, which was more marked in the absence of p53.…”
