Abstrakt: Objectives: Macrophages are key orchestrators of the osteoarthritis (OA)-associated inflammatory response. Macrophage phenotype is dependent on environmental cues like the inflammatory factor S100A8/A9. Here, we investigated how S100A9 exposure during monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation affects macrophage phenotype and function.
Methods: OA synovium cellular composition was determined using flow cytometry and multiplex immunohistochemistry. Healthy donor monocytes were differentiated towards M1- and M2-like macrophages in presence of S100A9. Macrophage markers were measured using flow cytometry and phagocytic activity was determined using pHrodo Red Zymosan A BioParticles. Gene expression was determined using qPCR. Protein secretion was measured using Luminex and ELISA.
Results: Macrophages were the dominant leucocyte subpopulation in OA synovium. They mainly presented with a M2-like phenotype, although the majority also expressed M1-like macrophage markers. Long-term exposure to S100A9 during monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation increased M2-like macrophage markers CD163 and CD206 in M1-like and M2-like differentiated cells. In addition, M1-like macrophage markers were increased in M1-like, but decreased in M2-like differentiated macrophages. In agreement with this mixed phenotype, S100A9 stimulation modestly increased expression and secretion of pro-inflammatory markers and catabolic enzymes, but also increased expression and secretion of anti-inflammatory/anabolic markers. In accordance with the upregulation of M2-like macrophage markers, S100A9 increased phagocytic activity. Finally, we indeed observed a strong association between S100A8 and S100A9 expression and the M2-like/M1-like macrophage ratio in end-stage OA synovium.
Conclusion: Chronic S100A8/A9 exposure during monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation favours differentiation towards a M2-like macrophage phenotype. The properties of these cells could help explain the catabolic/anabolic dualism in established OA joints with low-grade inflammation.
