Abstract: | Macrophages play a pivotal role in the development of emphysema and depending on the microenvironment stimuli can be polarized into M1- or M2-like macrophage phenotypes. We compared macrophage polarizations in cigarette smoke (CS)- and porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE)-induced emphysema models. C57BL/6 mice were subdivided into four experimental groups. In the PPE group, animals received an intranasal instillation of PPE (0.677 IU); in the saline group, animals received an intranasal instillation of saline (0.9%). Animals from both groups were euthanized on day 28. In the CS group, animals were exposed to CS for 30 min, twice a day, 5 days per week for 12 weeks. In the control group, animals received filtered air. We observed an increase in total macrophages for both experimental models. For M1-like macrophage markers, we observed an increase in TNF-alpha(+) and IFN-gamma(+) cells, Cxcl-9 and Cxcl-10 expressions in PPE and CS groups. Only in the CS group, we detected an increased expression of IL-12b. For M2-like macrophages markers we observed a down regulation in IL-10, IL-4, IL-13, Arg1 and Fizz1 and an increase of TGF-beta(+) cells in the PPE group, while for the CS group there was an increase in TGF-beta(+) cells and IL-10 expression. All exposure groups were compared to their respective controls. In summary, we demonstrated that CS- and PPE-induced models resulted in different microenvironmental stimuli. CS exposure induced an environmental stimulus related to M1- and M2-like macrophage phenotypes similar to previous results described in COPD patients, whereas the elastase-induced model provided an environmental stimulus related only to the M1 phenotype. |
