Differential Modulation of Human M1 and M2 Macrophage Activity by ICOS-Mediated ICOSL Triggering.

ABSTRACT: Activated T cells express the inducible T-cell co-stimulator (ICOS) that, upon binding to its ubiquitously expressed ligand (ICOSL), regulates the immune response and tissue repair. We sought to determine the effect of ICOS:ICOSL interaction on human M1 and M2 macrophages. M1 and M2 macrophages were polarized from monocyte-derived macrophages, and the effect of a soluble recombinant form of ICOS (ICOS-CH3) was assessed on cytokine production and cell migration. We show that ICOS-CH3 treatment increased the secretion of CCL3 and CCL4 in resting M1 and M2 cells. In LPS-treated M1 cells, ICOS-CH3 inhibited the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and CCL4, while it increased that of IL-23. In contrast, M2 cells treated with LPS + IL4 displayed enhanced secretion of IL-6, IL-10, CCL3 and CCL4. In C
