    Notes:
    Alternatively activated macrophages (Mφ2) are induced by Th2 cytokines and by glucocorticoids (GC), and can be distinguished from classically activated effector macrophages (Mφ1) on the basis of their anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, Mφ2 are involved in Th2/Th1 skewing, enhance antigen uptake and processing and support tissue remodelling and healing. In order to elucidate the heterogeneity of Mφ2 population systematically, we analysed a number of genes involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, inflammation and phagocytosis in Mφ2 populations generated with interleukin-4 (IL-4) or GC. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction, we demonstrated that the ECM component, tenascin-C, is stimulated by IL-4, whereas it is suppressed by dexamethasone. The ECM remodelling enzymes – MMP-1 and MMP-12 – and tissue transglutaminase (TG) showed a similar regulation pattern. FXIIIa, another putative Mφ2-associated TG, was synergistically regulated by IL-4 and GC. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis revealed that the production of Mφ2-associated chemokines, AMAC-1, MCP-4 or TARC, was induced by IL-4 and was modulated by GC. Phagocytosis of opsonized and non-opsonized particles was stimulated by GC, whereas IL-4 had only a modulatory effect, what may be partially explained by the expression pattern of hMARCO, a scavenger receptor for non-opsonized particles, that was strongly and selectively induced by GC. In conclusion, stimulation of Mφ with IL-4 and GC regulate antagonistically the expression of ECM remodelling-related molecules and phagocytosis of opsonized and non-opsonized particles.

    Notes:
    Interleukin-17E (IL-17E) (IL-25) is a recently identified cytokine capable to induce Th2-associated cytokine production (IL-5 and IL-13) and T helper 2 (Th2)-type pathologies in animal models. The IL-17E-responsive cell population in vivo was described to be a further uncharacterized non-T-, non-B-splenic accessory cell. Despite the identification of IL-17BR as the receptor for IL-17E, the cell population expressing IL-17BR has hitherto not been identified. Here, we show that human monocyte-derived Th2-skewed antigen-presenting cells (APC2) express membrane-bound and soluble forms of IL-17BR on the mRNA and protein level upon stimulation with IL-4, IL-10, IL-13 or transforming growth factor-βin vitro. These results indicate that IL-17BR-expressing APC2s may mediate the development of the IL-17E-mediated immunological reaction patterns observed in vivo.
