Abstrakt: We investigated the dynamics of the gene expression of M1 and M2 macrophage markers during skin wound healing in mice. Expression of M1-macrophage markers, such as Il12a, Tnf, Il6, Il1b, and Nos2 was upregulated after wounding and peaked at 1 or 3 days after injury, and that of M2-macrophage markers such as Mrc1, Cd163, Ccl17, Arg, and Tgfb1, peaked at 6 days after injury. Consistent with these findings, using triple-color immunofluorescence analysis revealed that F4/80 + CD80 + M1 macrophages were more abundant than F4/80 + CD206 + M2 macrophages on day 3 in mouse wound specimens, and that M2 macrophages were prominently detected in day 6 wounds. For application in forensic practice, we examined macrophage polarization using human wound specimens. The average ratios of CD68 + iNOS + M1 macrophages to CD68 + CD163 + M2 macrophages (M1/M2 ratios) were greater than 2.5 for the wounds aged 2-5 days. Out of 11 wounds aged 1-5 days, five samples had the M1/M2 ratios of > 3.0. These observations propose that the M1/M2 ratios of 3.0 would indicate a wound age of 1-5 days as the forensic opinion. This study showed that M1 and M2 macrophages in human skin wound might be a promising marker for wound age determination.
