Abstract

Objective

Macrophages show extreme heterogeneity and different subsets have been characterized by their activation route and their function. For instance, macrophage subsets are distinct by acting differently under pathophysiological conditions such as inflammation and cancer. Macrophages also contribute to angiogenesis, but the role of various specific subsets in angiogenesis has not been thoroughly investigated.

Methods and results

Matrigel supplemented with macrophage subsets [induced by IFNγ (M1), IL-4 (M2a) or IL-10 (M2c)] was injected subcutaneously in C57BL/6 J mice and analyzed by CD31 staining after 14 days. Increased numbers of endothelial cells and tubular structures were observed in M2-enriched plugs compared to control and other subsets. Additionally, more tubular structures formed in vitro in the presence of M2 macrophages or their conditioned medium. To identify a mechanism for the pro-angiogenic effect, gene expression of angiogenic growth factors was analyzed. Induced expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (Fgf2), insulin-like growth factor-1 (Igf1), chemokine (C–C motif) ligand 2 (Ccl2) and placental growth factor (Pgf) was observed in M2 macrophages. Using a blocking antibody of PlGF to inhibit M2c induced angiogenesis resulted in mildly reduced (40 %) tube formation whereas neutralization of FGF-2 (M2a) signaling by sFGFR1-IIIc affected tube formation by nearly 75 %.

Conclusions

These results indicate that macrophages polarized towards an M2 phenotype have a higher angiogenic potential compared to other subsets. Furthermore, we propose FGF signaling for M2a- and PlGF signaling for M2c-induced angiogenesis as possible working mechanisms, yet, further research should elucidate the exact mechanism for M2-induced angiogenesis.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
