1 20121742 Macrophages display two activation states that are considered mutually exclusive: classical macrophage activation (CMA), inducible by IFNG, and alternative macrophage activation (AMA), inducible by IL4 and IL13.
2 20121742 In rejecting allografts, unlike interferon gamma (IFNG) effects and T-cell infiltration that developed rapidly and plateaued by day 7, AMA transcripts (Arg1, Mrc1, Mmp12 and Ear1) rose progressively as tubulitis and parenchymal deterioration developed at days 21 and 42, despite persistent IFNG effects.
3 20121742 AMA in allografts was associated with transcripts for AMA inducers IL4, IL13 and inhibin A, but also occurred when hosts lacked IL4/IL13 receptors, suggesting a role for inhibin A.
4 20121742 Thus kidneys undergoing T-cell-mediated rejection progressively acquire macrophages with alternative activation phenotype despite strong local IFNG effects, independent of IL4 and IL13.
