Spatial confinement downsizes the inflammatory response of macrophages
Open accessAbstract
Macrophages respond to chemical/metabolic and physical stimuli, but their effects cannot be readily decoupled in vivo during pro-inflammatory activation. Here, we show that preventing macrophage spreading by spatial confinement, as imposed by micropatterning, microporous substrates or cell crowding, suppresses late lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated transcriptional programs (biomarkers IL-6, CXCL9, IL-1β, and iNOS) by mechanomodulating chromatin compaction and epigenetic alterations (HDAC3 levels and H3K36-dimethylation). Mechanistically, confinement reduces actin polymerization, thereby lowers the LPS-stimulated nuclear translocation of MRTF-A. This lowers the activity of the MRTF-A–SRF complex and subsequently downregulates the inflammatory response, as confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with quantitative PCR and RNA sequencing analysis. Confinement thus downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and, well before any activation processes, the phagocytic potential of macrophages. Contrarily, early events, including activation of the LPS receptor TLR4, and downstream NF-κB and IRF3 signalling and hence the expression of early LPS-responsive genes were marginally affected by confinement. These findings have broad implications in the context of mechanobiology, inflammation and immunology, as well as in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.Physical confinement of macrophages is shown to down-regulate pro-inflammatory gene transcription, lowering pro-inflammatory macrophage activation and phagocytic potential.

IFN-γ and TNF-α induce activation of M1 macrophages to trigger a respiratory burst, release reactive oxygen species, secrete TNF-α and IL-12, induce iNOS, and upregulate expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1).
“IFN-γ and TNF-α induce activation of Ml macrophages to trigger a respiratory burst, release reactive oxygen species, secrete TNF-α and IL-12, induce iNOS, and upregulate expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) (Jain and Vogel, 2018;Tan et al., 2019).”

The Methods (Macrophage activation; page not provided) use LPS, not IFN-γ and TNF-α, to induce M1 activation. The sections on late pro-inflammatory gene expression and cytokine secretion report iNOS expression and secretion of TNF-α and IL-12 after LPS stimulation. Our copy does not establish the claimed respiratory burst, reactive oxygen species release, or PD-L1 upregulation. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
