CYP2C19 Contributes to THP-1-Cell-Derived M2 Macrophage Polarization by Producing 11,12- and 14,15-Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid, Agonists of the PPARγ Receptor.

ABSTRACT: Although the functional roles of M1 and M2 macrophages in the immune response and drug resistance are important, the expression and role of cytochrome P450s (CYPs) in these cells remain largely unknown. Differential expression of the 12 most common CYPs (CYP1A1, 1A2, 1B1, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 2J2, 3A4, and 3A5) were screened in THP-1-cell-derived M1 and M2 macrophages using reverse transcription PCR. CYP2C19 was highly expressed in THP-1-cell-derived M2 macrophages, but it was negligibly expressed in THP-1-cell-derived M1 macrophages at the mRNA and protein levels as analyzed by reverse transcription quantitative PCR and Western blot, respectively. CYP2C19 enzyme activity was also very high in THP-1-cell-derived M2 compared to M1 macrophages (> 99%, p < 0.01), which was ve
