Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more advanced form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), have become global health challenges with significant morbidity and mortality rates. NAFLD encompasses several liver diseases, ranging from simple steatosis to more severe inflammatory and fibrotic forms. Ultimately, this can lead to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The intricate role of hepatic macrophages, particularly Kupffer cells (KCs) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMFs), in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and NASH, has received increasing attention. Hepatic macrophages can interact with hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, and endothelial cells, playing a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis. Paradoxically, they also participate in the pathogenesis of some liver diseases. This review highlights the fundamental role of hepatic macrophages in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and NASH, emphasizing their plasticity and contribution to inflammation and fibrosis, and hopes to provide ideas for subsequent experimental research and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Macrophages are functionally heterogeneous cells essential for apoptotic cell clearance. Apoptotic cells are defined by homogeneous characteristics, ignoring their original cell lineage identity. We found that in an interleukin-4 (IL-4)-enriched environment, the sensing of apoptotic neutrophils by macrophages triggered their tissue remodeling signature. Engulfment of apoptotic hepatocytes promoted a tolerogenic phenotype, whereas phagocytosis of T cells had little effect on IL-4-induced gene expression. In a mouse model of parasite-induced pathology, the transfer of macrophages conditioned with IL-4 and apoptotic neutrophils promoted parasitic egg clearance. Knockout of phagocytic receptors required for the uptake of apoptotic neutrophils and partially T cells, but not hepatocytes, exacerbated helminth infection. These findings suggest that the identity of apoptotic cells may contribute to the development of distinct IL-4-driven immune programs in macrophages.

Abstract
Monocytes (Mo) and macrophages (Mφ) play important roles in the function of tissues, organs, and systems of all animals during homeostasis, infection, injury, and disease. For decades, conventional wisdom has dictated that Mo and Mφ are end-stage cells that do not proliferate and that Mφ accumulation in tissues is the result of infiltration of Mo from the blood and subsequent differentiation to Mφ. However, reports from the early 1900s to the present describe evidence of Mo and Mφ proliferation in different tissues and contexts. The purpose of this review is to summarize both historical and current evidence for the contribution of Mφ proliferation to their accumulation in different tissues during homeostasis, infection, injury, and disease. Mφ proliferate in different organs and tissues, including skin, peritoneum, lung, heart, aorta, kidney, liver, pancreas, brain, spinal cord, eye, adipose tissue, and uterus, and in different species including mouse, rat, rabbit, and human. Mφ can proliferate at different stages of differentiation with infiltrating Mo-like cells proliferating in certain inflammatory contexts (e.g. skin wounding, kidney injury, bladder and liver infection) and mature resident Mφ proliferating in other inflammatory contexts (e.g. nematode infection, acetaminophen liver injury) and during homeostasis. The pathways involved in stimulating Mφ proliferation also may be context dependent, with different cytokines and transcription factors implicated in different studies. Although Mφ are known to proliferate in health, injury, and disease, much remains to be learned about the regulation of Mφ proliferation in different contexts and its impact on the homeostasis, injury, and repair of different organs and tissues.

Abstract
The liver is a vital metabolic organ that also performs important immune-regulatory functions. In the context of infections, the liver represents a target site for various pathogens, while also having an outstanding capacity to filter the blood from pathogens and to contain infections. Pathogen scavenging by the liver is primarily performed by its large and heterogeneous macrophage population. The major liver-resident macrophage population is located within the hepatic microcirculation and is known as Kupffer cells (KCs). Although other minor macrophages reside in the liver as well, KCs remain the best characterized and are the best well-known hepatic macrophage population to be functionally involved in the clearance of infections. The response of KCs to pathogenic insults often governs the overall severity and outcome of infections on the host. Moreover, infections also impart long-lasting, and rarely studied changes to the KC pool. In this review, we discuss current knowledge on the biology and the various roles of liver macrophages during infections. In addition, we reflect on the potential of infection history to imprint long-lasting effects on macrophages, in particular liver macrophages.

Abstract
Monocytes are circulating myeloid cells that are derived from dedicated progenitors in the bone marrow. Originally thought of as mere precursors for the replacement of tissue macrophages, it is increasingly clear that monocytes execute distinct effector functions and may give rise to monocyte-derived cells with unique properties from tissue-resident macrophages. Recently, the advent of novel experimental approaches such as single-cell analysis and fate-mapping tools has uncovered an astonishing display of monocyte plasticity and heterogeneity, which we believe has emerged as a key theme in the field of monocyte biology in the last decade. Monocyte heterogeneity is now recognized to develop as early as the progenitor stage through specific imprinting mechanisms, giving rise to specialized effector cells in the tissue. At the same time, monocytes must overcome their susceptibility towards cellular death to persist as monocyte-derived cells in the tissues. Environmental signals that preserve their heterogenic phenotypes and govern their eventual fates remain incompletely understood. In this review, we will summarize recent advances on the developmental trajectory of monocytes and discuss emerging concepts that contributes to the burgeoning field of monocyte plasticity and heterogeneity.

Abstract
Helminths are parasitic worms that coevolve with their host, usually resulting in long-term persistence through modulating host immunity. The multifarious mechanisms altering the immune system induced by helminths have significant implications on the control of coinfecting pathogens such as viruses. Here, we explore the recent literature to highlight the main immune alterations and mechanisms that affect the control of viral coinfection. Insights from these mechanisms are valuable in the understanding of clinical observations in helminth-prevalent areas and in the design of new therapeutic and vaccination strategies to control viral diseases.

Abstract
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by worms of the genus Schistosoma spp. The progression of disease results in intense tissue fibrosis and high mortality rate. After egg deposition by adult worms, the inflammatory response is characterized by the robust activation of type 2 immunity. Monocytes and macrophages play critical roles during schistosomiasis. Inflammatory Ly6Chigh monocytes are recruited from the blood to the inflammatory foci and differentiate into alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs), which promote tissue repair. The common chain of β2-integrins (CD18) regulates monocytopoiesis and mediates resistance to experimental schistosomiasis. There is still limited knowledge about mechanisms controlled by CD18 that impact monocyte development and effector cells such as macrophages during schistosomiasis. Here, we show that CD18low mice chronically infected with S. mansoni display monocyte progenitors with reduced proliferative capacity, resulting in the accumulation of the progenitor cell denominated proliferating-monocyte (pMo). Consequently, inflammatory Ly6Chigh and patrolling Ly6Clow monocytes are reduced in the bone marrow and blood. Mechanistically, low CD18 expression decreases Irf8 gene expression in pMo progenitor cells, whose encoded transcription factor regulates CSFR1 (CD115) expression on the cell surface. Furthermore, low CD18 expression affects the accumulation of inflammatory Ly6Chigh CD11b+ monocytes in the liver while the adoptive transference of these cells to infected-CD18low mice reduced the inflammatory infiltrate and fibrosis in the liver. Importantly, expression of Il4, Chil3l3 and Arg1 was downregulated, CD206+PD-L2+ AAMs were reduced and there were lower levels of IL-10 in the liver of CD18low mice chronically infected with S. mansoni. Overall, these findings suggest that CD18 controls the IRF8-CD115 axis on pMo progenitor cells, affecting their proliferation and maturation of monocytes. At the same time, CD18 is crucial for the appropriate polarization and function of AAMs and tissue repair during chronic schistosomiasis.

Abstract
Schistosomiasis is the second most debilitating neglected tropical disease globally after malaria, with no available therapy to control disease-driven immunopathology. Although schistosomiasis induces a markedly heterogenous immune response, type 2 immunity is the dominating immune response following oviposition. While type 2 immunity has a crucial role in granuloma formation and host survival during the acute stage of disease, its chronic activation can result in tissue scarring, fibrosis, and organ impairment. Here, we discuss recent advances in schistosomiasis, demonstrating how different immune and non-immune cells and signaling pathways are involved in the induction, maintenance, and regulation of type 2 immunity. A better understanding of these immune responses during schistosomiasis is essential to inform the potential development of candidate therapeutic strategies that fine-tune type 2 immunity to ideally modulate schistosomiasis immunopathology.

Abstract
With the increasing availability and accessibility of single cell technologies, much attention has been given to delineating the specific populations of cells present in any given tissue. In recent years, hepatic macrophage heterogeneity has also begun to be examined using these strategies. While previously any macrophage in the liver was considered to be a Kupffer cell (KC), several studies have recently revealed the presence of distinct subsets of hepatic macrophages, including those distinct from KCs both under homeostatic and non-homeostatic conditions. This heterogeneity has brought the concept of macrophage plasticity into question. Are KCs really as plastic as once thought, being capable of responding efficiently and specifically to any given stimuli? Or are the differential responses observed from hepatic macrophages in distinct settings due to the presence of multiple subsets of these cells? With these questions in mind, here we examine what is currently understood regarding hepatic macrophage heterogeneity in mouse and human and examine the role of heterogeneity vs plasticity in regards to hepatic macrophage responses in settings of both pathogen-induced and sterile inflammation.

Abstract
Macrophages are important regulators of liver repair. Participation of migratory monocytes/macrophages in regeneration of hepatic tissues after resection remains disputable. In mouse the resection promotes migration of Ly6C+CD11b+ monocytes/macrophages to the remnant liver accompanied by a reduction in its CD206 + macrophage content. Macrophage proliferation within the liver reaches maximum on day 3 after the surgery. Corresponding macro- and microtranscriptomic profiles of macrophages in regeneration liver cannot be unambiguously defined as pro- or anti-inflammatory. Their typical features include elevated expression of leukocyte chemoattractant factors, and many of the differentially expressed sequences are related to the control of cell growth and metabolic processes in the liver. These findings revealed essential roles of immigration of monocytes/macrophages and macrophages proliferation in maintenance of macrophage populations in the mouse liver during its recovery from a massive resection.

Abstract
Macrophages are fundamental to sustain physiological equilibrium and to regulate the pathogenesis of parasitic and metabolic processes. The functional heterogeneity and immune responses of macrophages are shaped by cellular metabolism in response to the host's intrinsic factors, environmental cues and other stimuli during disease. Parasite infections induce a complex cascade of cytokines and metabolites that profoundly remodel the metabolic status of macrophages. In particular, helminths polarize macrophages to an M2 state and induce a metabolic shift towards reliance on oxidative phosphorylation, lipid oxidation and amino acid metabolism. Accumulating data indicate that helminth-induced activation and metabolic reprogramming of macrophages underlie improvement in overall whole-body metabolism, denoted by improved insulin sensitivity, body mass in response to high-fat diet and atherogenic index in mammals. This review aims to highlight the metabolic changes that occur in human and murine-derived macrophages in response to helminth infections and helminth products, with particular interest in schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are characterized by persistent accumulation of proinflammatory monocytes (Mo)/macrophages (MΦ) and impaired healing. However, the mechanisms underlying the persistent accumulation of Mo/MΦ remain poorly understood. In this study, we report that Ly6C+F4/80lo/- Mo/MΦ proliferate at higher rates in wounds of diabetic mice compared with nondiabetic mice, leading to greater accumulation of these cells. Unbiased single cell RNA sequencing analysis of combined nondiabetic and diabetic wound Mo/MΦ revealed a cluster, populated primarily by cells from diabetic wounds, for which genes associated with the cell cycle were enriched. In a screen of potential regulators, CCL2 levels were increased in wounds of diabetic mice, and subsequent experiments showed that local CCL2 treatment increased Ly6C+F4/80lo/- Mo/MΦ proliferation. Importantly, adoptive transfer of mixtures of CCR2-/- and CCR2+/+ Ly6Chi Mo indicated that CCL2/CCR2 signaling is required for their proliferation in the wound environment. Together, these data demonstrate a novel role for the CCL2/CCR2 signaling pathway in promoting skin Mo/MΦ proliferation, contributing to persistent accumulation of Mo/MΦ and impaired healing in diabetic mice.

Abstract
Infection by Schistosoma parasites culminates in a chronic granulomatous disease characterized by intense tissue fibrosis. Along the course of schistosomiasis, diverse leukocytes are recruited for inflammatory foci. Innate immune cell accumulation in Th2-driven granulomas around Schistosoma eggs is associated with increased collagen deposition, while monocytes and macrophages exert critical roles during this process. Monocytes are recruited to damaged tissues from blood, produce TGF-β and differentiate into monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), which become alternatively activated by IL-4/IL-13 signaling via IL-4Rα (AAMs). AAMs are key players of tissue repair and wound healing in response to Schistosoma infection. Alternative activation of macrophages is characterized by the activation of STAT6 that coordinates the transcription of Arg1, Chi3l3, Relma, and Mrc1. In addition to these markers, monocyte-derived AAMs also express Raldh2 and Pdl2. AAMs produce high levels of IL-10 and TGF-β that minimizes tissue damage caused by Schistosoma egg accumulation in tissues. In this review, we provide support to previous findings about the host response to Schistosoma infection reusing public transcriptome data. Importantly, we discuss the role of monocytes and macrophages with emphasis on the mechanisms of alternative macrophage activation during schistosomiasis.

Abstract
Helminth infections are a global health burden in humans and livestock and are considered to be a major evolutionary driver of type 2 immunity (orchestrated by type 2 cytokines, e.g., IL‐4 and IL‐13). Upon infection, helminths cause substantial damage to mucosal tissues as they migrate within the host and elicit crucial protective immune mechanisms. Macrophages, essential innate cells, are known to adopt a specific activation status (termed M(IL‐4)) in type 2 cytokine environments. Yet, the role of these macrophages in mediating protective immune/wound healing responses to helminths is unclear. Furthermore, macrophage subsets can be very heterogenous (linked to their differing cellular origins) and the relative role of these subsets in the context of M(IL‐4) activation to helminth infection is unknown. An article by Rolot et al. in this issue of the European Journal of Immunology [Eur. J. Immunol. 2019. 49: 1067–1081] uses a variety of transgenic murine strains to revise our understanding of the complexity of how these subsets undergo M(IL‐4) activation and participate in wound healing responses in helminth infection. Here we highlight that consideration of different macrophage subsets in mucosal tissues is essential when evaluating the functional role of M(IL‐4) macrophages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lenabasum is an oral synthetic cannabinoid receptor type 2 agonist previously shown to reduce the production of key airway pro-inflammatory cytokines known to play a role in cystic fibrosis (CF). In a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-control phase 2 study, lenabasum lowered the rate of pulmonary exacerbation among patients with CF. The present study was undertaken to investigate anti-inflammatory mechanisms of lenabasum exhibits in CF macrophages. METHODS We used monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) from healthy donors (n = 15), MDMs with CFTR inhibited with C-172 (n = 5) and MDMs from patients with CF (n = 4). Monocytes were differentiated to macrophages and polarized into classically activated (M1) macrophages by LPS or alternatively activated (M2) macrophages by IL-13 in presence or absence of lenabasum. RESULTS Lenabasum had no effect on differentiation, polarization and function of macrophages from healthy individuals. However, in CF macrophages lenabasum downregulated macrophage polarization into the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype and secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-8 and TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner. An improvement in phagocytic activity was also observed following lenabasum treatment. Although lenabasum did not restore the impaired polarization of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage, it reduced the levels of IL-13 and enhanced the endocytic function of CF MDMs. The effects of lenabasum on MDMs with CFTR inhibited by C-172 were not as obvious. CONCLUSION In CF macrophages lenabasum modulates macrophage polarization and function in vitro in a way that would reduce inflammation in vivo. Further studies are warranted to determine the link between activating the CBR2 receptor and CFTR.

Abstract
Macrophages, the major population of tissue-resident mononuclear phagocytes, contribute significantly to the immune response during helminth infection. Alternatively activated macrophages (AAM) are induced early in the anti-helminth response following tissue insult and parasite recognition, amplifying the early type 2 immune cascade initiated by epithelial cells and ILC2s, and subsequently driving parasite expulsion. AAM also contribute to functional alterations in tissues infiltrated with helminth larvae, mediating both tissue repair and inflammation. Their activation is amplified and occurs more rapidly following reinfection, where they can play a dual role in trapping tissue migratory larvae and preventing or resolving the associated inflammation and damage. In this review, we will address both the known and emerging roles of tissue macrophages during helminth infection, in addition to considering both outstanding research questions and new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Macrophages are professional phagocytes that are essential for host defense and tissue homeostasis. Proper membrane trafficking and degradative functions of the endolysosomal system are known to be critical for the function of these cells. We have found that PIKfyve, the kinase that synthesizes the endosomal phosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate, is an essential regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and degradative functions in macrophages. Genetically engineered mice lacking PIKfyve in their myeloid cells (PIKfyvefl/fl LysM-Cre) develop diffuse tissue infiltration of foamy macrophages, hepatosplenomegaly, and systemic inflammation. PIKfyve loss in macrophages causes enlarged endolysosomal compartments and impairs the lysosomal degradative function. Moreover, PIKfyve deficiency increases the cellular levels of lysosomal proteins. Although PIKfyve deficiency reduced the activation of mTORC1 pathway and was associated with increased cleavage of TFEB proteins, this does not translate into transcriptional activation of lysosomal genes, suggesting that PIKfyve modulates the abundance of lysosomal proteins by affecting the degradation of these proteins. Our study shows that PIKfyve modulation of lysosomal degradative activity and protein expression is essential to maintain lysosomal homeostasis in macrophages.
