The chemokine CCL18 causes maturation of cultured monocytes to macrophages in the M2 spectrum
Open accessAbstract
Summary: The observation that human monocytes cultured in the presence of the chemokine CCL18 showed increased survival, led us to profile cytokine expression in CCL18‐stimulated versus control cultures. CCL18 caused significantly increased expression of chemokines (CXCL8, CCL2, CCL3 and CCL22), interleukin‐10 (IL‐10) and platelet‐derived growth factor, but no up‐regulation of M1 cytokines IL‐1β or IL‐12. CCL18‐stimulated monocytes matured into cells with morphological resemblance to IL‐4‐stimulated macrophages, and expressed the monocyte marker CD14 as well the M2 macrophage markers CD206 and 15‐lipoxygenase, but no mature dendritic cell markers (CD80, CD83 or CD86). Functionally, CCL18‐stimulated macrophages showed a high capacity for unspecific phagocytosis and for pinocytosis, which was not associated with an oxidative burst. These findings suggest that CCL18‐activated macrophages stand at the cross‐roads between inflammation and its resolution. The chemokines that are produced in response to CCL18 are angiogenic and attract various leucocyte populations, which sustain inflammation. However, the capacity of these cells to remove cellular debris without causing oxidative damage and the production of the anti‐inflammatory IL‐10 will initiate termination of the inflammatory response. In summary, CCL18 induces an M2 spectrum macrophage phenotype in the absence of IL‐4.

Multiple pathways induce M2 and M2-like macrophages, including IL-4/IL-13-dependent signaling, TLR and IL-1R signaling with adenosine A(2A)R, CCL18, and CX3CL1.
“Recent studies suggest multiple pathways by which macrophages are induced to develop into M2 and M2-like macrophages. One pathway occurs through an IL-4/IL-13–dependent signaling cascade,95 a second is mediated through TLR and IL-1R signaling and adenosine-sensing receptor A(2A)R,56,95,96 a third is mediated by CCL18,97 and a fourth involves CX3CL1 (fractalkine).57”

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.
