PG - 1380 LID - 10.1038/s41598-023-27412-x [doi] LID - 1380 AB - Aortic aneurysm (AA) is a vascular disorder characterized pathologically by inflammatory cell invasion and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. It is known that regulation of the balance between pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages (M1Ms) and anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages (M2Ms) plays a pivotal role in AA stabilization. We investigated the effects of M2M administration in an apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE(-/-)) mouse model in which AA was induced by angiotensin II (ATII) infusion. Mice received intraperitoneal administration of 1 million M2Ms 4 weeks after ATII infusion. Compared with a control group that was administered saline, the M2M group exhibited reduced AA expansion; decreased expression levels of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1); and a lower M1M/M2M ratio. Moreover, the M2M group exhibited upregulation of anti-inflammatory factors, including IL-4 and IL-10. PKH26-labeled M2Ms accounted for 6.5% of cells in the aneurysmal site and co-expressed CD206. Taken together, intraperitoneal administration of M2Ms inhibited AA expansion by reducing the inflammatory reaction via regulating the M1M/M2M ratio. This study shows that M2M administration might be useful for the treatment of AA. CI - (c) 2023. The Author(s).
