M-CSF and GM-CSF determinate fibromodulatory activity of polarized human macrophages

GM-CSF and M-CSF, the hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors, induce various phenotypic changes in macrophage lineage populations and promote cell differentiation, respectively, into M1- and M2-like macrophages. The pro- and anti-inflammatory properties of macrophages generated by these colony-sti...

description GM-CSF and M-CSF, the hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors, induce various phenotypic changes in macrophage lineage populations and promote cell differentiation, respectively, into M1- and M2-like macrophages. The pro- and anti-inflammatory properties of macrophages generated by these colony-stimulating factors are well described, but the contribution of differentiation and polarization signals to the fibromodulatory activity of macrophages remains unexplored. To clarify the differences in the fibrogenesis regulation mechanisms inherent in differently activated macrophages, we studied the effects of macrophage-conditioned media on proliferation and differentiation of dermal fibroblasts. In this study, the human macrophages generated from peripheral blood monocytes were investigated. They were induced for differentiation by M-CSF or GM-CSF, being further polarized in the M1 direction with lipopolysaccharide and, in the M2 direction, with IL-4 or dexamethasone. Proliferative response of the fibroblasts was determined radiometrically by [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Differentiation into myofibroblasts was determined with flow cytometry technique, as expression of a specific marker α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). The level of macrophage TGF-β1 production was assessed using an appropriate ELISA kit. The data obtained indicate that the macrophages differentiated under the influence of “homeostatic” M-CSF are characterized by a moderate stimulating effect upon fibroblast proliferation, and the effects of M2 (IL-4) and M2 (Dex) macrophages exceed that of M1 (LPS), but do not differ significantly from each other. The M-CSF-induced M1 (LPS) and M2 (IL-4) macrophages, but not M2 (Dex), enhance the fibroblast differentiation and show similar level of stimulation. In contrast to M-CSF, the macrophages induced by “pro-inflammatory” GM-CSF exhibit a pronounced stimulatory effect on fibroblast proliferation, and the effects of M2 macrophages exceed those of M1 cells, being most pronounced for M2 (Dex). At the same time, only GM-CSF-induced M2 (IL-4) macrophages enhance fibroblast differentiation. Dexamethasone-polarized macrophages do not significantly affect fibroblast differentiation regardless of the CSF used (M-CSF or GM-CSF). The content of TGF-β1 in the supernatants of differently activated macrophages does not correlate with the level of stimulating effect of macrophage-conditioned media upon fibroblast differentiation. In general, the data obtained suggest the involvement of differentiation and polarization signals into modulation of pro- and anti-fibrogenic properties of macrophages.
