This group is a pivotal part of the immune system Tissue regeneration plays an important role in and is involved in immune responses against cardiovascular diseases (Sengupta et al., 2010; exogenous antigen invasion. Recently, Wang et al., 2013), cerebrovascular diseases accumulating evidence has demonstrated that (Wang et al., 2013), and neoplasms (Jin et al., macrophages participate in wound repair and tissue 2017), three major killers among human across the regeneration. In this review, we will first introduce world (Jiang et al., 2017; Li et al., 2017; Liang et al., the influences of regeneration after injury in various 2017; Lv et al., 2017; Ma et al., 2017; Wu et al., tissues and organs among macrophage-depleted 2018; Xin et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2018). The animal models. Second, the possible relationship primary function of a macrophage is to serve as the between macrophages and reparation capacities effector of the innate immune system (Saini et al., will be discussed. Finally, we provide a general idea 2016; Jackaman et al., 2017; Liang et al., 2017; about the roles of macrophages in the injury- Rahimifard et al., 2017; Ren et al., 2017). regeneration process and then discuss the current Accompanied by monocytes, macrophages occupy challenges and prospects of their clinical the front line of innate defense against exogenous application. The information compiled here may be antigens.

They promptly infiltrate into

Because vascular immune responses and subsequently promote injury endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the key resolution from a morbid status (Gordon et al., 2005; factors in angiogenesis (Pollard, 2009; Fantin et al., Hume, 2006; Hume, 2008; Geissmann et al., 2010; 2010), Cattin and co-researchers (Cattin et al., Hume et al., 2012; Wynn et al., 2013). Additionally, 2015) used the Cre system and created transgenic macrophages fulfill indispensable functions in the mice in which the production of VEGFα in patterning and formatting of tissues during macrophages is inhibited. In the abovementioned developmental and mature stages. They are work, they found that the loss of VEGFα did not involved in erythropoiesis (Kawane et al., 2001), inhibit macrophage recruitment during the early hematopoiesis (Gordy et al., 2011)(Gordy et al., stage of nerve regeneration. However, a reduction 2011), angiogenesis (Rao et al., 2007; Machnik et in vascularization was observed in mutant animals, al., 2009; Fantin et al., 2010; Stefater III et al., leading to the restraint of Schwann cells (SCs) at 2011), osteogenesis (Niida et al., 1999; Pollard, the stump site. Consequently, these cells failed to 2009), and neural homeostasis (Pollard, 2009; form tube-like structures, which are necessary to Erblich et al., 2011). Furthermore, macrophages direct axons back to their original targets. maintain metabolic homeostasis in adult mammalian Meanwhile, by studying transgenic zebrafish models organs, such as adipose tissue, the liver, and the (Liu et al., 2016), another group demonstrated that pancreas (Weisberg et al., 2003; Odegaard et al., in some cases, following cerebrovascular rupture, 2007; Kang et al., 2008; Olefsky et al., 2010; macrophages were recruited by extracellular ATP Nguyen et al., 2011; Odegaard et al., 2013). and formed direct physical adhesions with both However, chronically activated macrophages lead to epithelial ends. With the help of mechanical forces, a prolonged inflammatory reaction, which triggers both the broken ends of cerebral vessels could be substantial adjunctive tissue destruction. Indeed, successfully reconnected, and a functional vessel these unregulated macrophages contribute to was then restored (Figure 1, Table 1). Thus, various chronic inflammatory and autoimmune macrophages promote the migration of SC and diseases, including atherosclerosis, asthma, maintain the homeostasis of peripheral neural rheumatoid arthritis, and fibrosis (Kamada et al., network by secreting cytokines, making physical 2008; Hansson et al., 2011; Libby et al., 2011; ligation, and assisting neovessel formation. Murray et al., 2011). Apart from the disease- promoting effect, clinical and experimental evidence Fracture healing has demonstrated that macrophages participate in Macrophages have also been involved in bone tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis (Marelli healing.

They used a well-developed medical intravenous In this review, we aimed to mainly focus on the injection method to selectively deplete mouse mechanism by which macrophages contribute to macrophages. This fabulous work was performed by tissue/organ injury repair. We will first introduce the Dutch scientists VanRooijen and Van Nieuwmegen influences of regeneration after injury in various in 1984. The approach is to introduce an effector tissues and organs among macrophage-depleted molecule, liposome-carried dichloromethylene animal models. Second, the possible relationship diphosphonate, specifically called clodronate between macrophages and reparation capacities liposome, into the organism (Van Rooijen et al., will be discussed. Finally, we provide a general idea 1984). This compound has been shown to have about the roles of macrophages in the injury- high affinity for calcium and, thus, adheres to the regeneration process.

Using this strategy to study macrophage depletion resulted in non-union and femoral fracture mouse models, Raggatt found that impaired callus mineralization, appearing as a lower soft callus formation in mice with ablated callus and bone volume.

After intravenous injection, clodronate liposome will be firstly ingested and digested by macrophage, and further contribute to the release of cytotoxic molecular clodronate. The intracellular release and accumulation of clodronate at a certain concentration may induce apoptosis of the macrophage. By this approach, temporally macrophage-depleted animal models are created, which offers opportunity for re- searching macrophages in vivo.
