摘要
Objective To study the dynamics of macrophage polarization, as well as the possible factors that regulate macrophage polarization during schistosome infection. Methods We first analyzed M1 and M2-phenotypic markers of peritoneal macrophages from mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum(S. japonicum) at indicated time points using flow cytometry(FCM) analysis and real-time PCR. Then we treated peritoneal macrophages from normal mice with schistosome worm antigen(SWA) or schistosome soluble egg antigen(SEA) and determined M1 and M2-phenotypic markers, in order to identify macrophage polarization in responding to schistosomal antigens. Results In this study, we showed that macrophages were preferentially differentiated into M1 subtype during the acute stage of S. japonicum infection. However, the level of M1 macrophages decreased but M2 macrophages significantly increased during the chronic stage of infection. Furthermore, we showed that SWA favors the generation of M1 macrophages, whereas SEA preferentially promotes M2-polarized phenotype.
