Resumen

Macrophages respond to endogenous and non-self stimuli acquiring the M1 or M2 phenotypes, corresponding to classical or alternative activation, respectively. The role of B-1 cells in the regulation of macrophage polarization through the secretion of interleukin (IL)-10 has been demonstrated. However, the influence of B-1 cells on macrophage phenotype induction by an immunogen that suppress their ability to secrete IL-10 has not been explored. Here, we studied the peritoneal macrophage pattern induced by liposomes comprised of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and cholesterol (Chol) carrying ovalbumin (OVA) (Lp DPPC/OVA), and the involvement of B-1 cells in macrophage polarization. Peritoneal cells from BALB/c, B-1 cells-deficient BALB/. xid and C57BL/6 mice immunized with Lp DPPC/OVA and OVA in soluble form (PBS/OVA) were analyzed and stimulated or not in vitro with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Peritoneal macrophages from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice immunized with Lp DPPC/OVA showed an M2-like phenotype as evidenced by their high arginase activity without LPS stimulation. Upon stimulation, these macrophages were reprogrammable toward the M1 phenotype with the upregulation of nitric oxide (NO) and a decrease in IL-10 secretion. In addition, high IFN-γ levels were detected in the culture supernatant of peritoneal cells from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice immunized with Lp DPPC/OVA. Nevertheless, still high levels of arginase activity and undetectable levels of IL-12 were found, indicating that the switch to a classical activation state was not complete. In the peritoneal cells from liposomes-immunized BALB/. xid mice, levels of arginase activity, NO, and IL-6 were below those from wild type animals, but the last two products were restored upon adoptive transfer of B-1 cells, together with an increase in IFN-γ secretion. Summarizing, we have demonstrated that Lp DPPC/OVA induce an M2-like pattern in peritoneal macrophages reprogrammable to M1 phenotype after LPS stimulation, with the involvement of B-1 cells.
