Popis: Macrophage infiltration is a hallmark pathological change observed in early stage myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury and one of the main causes of myocardial damage. Here, we investigated the effects of p-Coumaric acid (p-CA) on macrophage polarization following MI/R injury and its mechanisms. In vitro, p-CA decreases the expression of LPS/IFN-γ-induced M1 macrophage markers (TNF-α, IL-6, iNOS and CCL2) and increases IL-4-induced M2 macrophage markers (IL-10, CD206, Arg1 and Mrc) in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). Additionally, p-CA elevated indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) protein expression levels, M2 macrophage polarization and M2 macrophage markers through IL-4. In contrast, repression of IDO attenuated p-CA functions regulating BMDMs through IL-4. In vivo, IDO expression was downregulated in mouse hearts subjected to MI/R injury. Treatment of p-CA increased IDO expression in the hearts of MI/R mice. Functionally, p-CA decreases M1 macrophage markers, the number of M1 macrophages and inflammation around heart tissue following MI/R injury. Importantly, p-CA reduces cardiomyocyte apoptosis caused by MI/R. Altogether, our study identified that p-CA modulates macrophage polarization by promoting IDO expression and that p-CA attenuates macrophage-mediated inflammation following MI/R by promoting M2 macrophage polarization through IDO.
