Abstrakt: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a hyperinflammatory syndrome, is caused by the incessant activation of lymphocytes and macrophages, resulting in damage to organs, including hematopoietic organs. Recently, we demonstrated that repeated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment induces HLH-like features in senescence-accelerated (SAMP1/TA-1) mice but not in senescence-resistant control (SAMR1) mice. Hematopoietic failure in LPS-treated SAMP1/TA-1 mice was attributed to hematopoietic microenvironment dysfunction, concomitant with severely imbalanced M1 and M2 macrophage polarization. Macrophages are a major component of the bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic microenvironment. Clodronate liposomes are useful tools for in vivo macrophage depletion. In this study, we depleted macrophages using clodronate liposomes to determine their role in the hematopoietic microenvironment in SAMP1/TA-1 and SAMR1 mice. Under clodronate liposome treatment, the response between SAMR1 and SAMP1/TA-1 mice differed as follows: (1) increase in the number of activated M1 and M2 macrophages derived from newly generated macrophages and M2-dominant and imbalanced M1 and M2 macrophage polarization in the BM and spleen; (2) severe anemia and thrombocytopenia; (3) high mortality rate; (4) decrease in erythroid progenitors and B cell progenitors in the BM; and (5) decrease in the mRNA expression of erythroid-positive regulators such as erythropoietin and increase in that of erythroid- and B lymphoid-negative regulators such as interferon-γ in the BM. Depletion of residual macrophages in SAMP1/TA-1 mice impaired hematopoietic homeostasis, particularly erythropoiesis and B lymphopoiesis, owing to functional impairment of the hematopoietic microenvironment accompanied by persistently imbalanced M1/M2 polarization. Thus, macrophages play a vital role in regulating the hematopoietic microenvironment to maintain homeostasis.
