The Journal of Immunology Identification of a Unique Hybrid Macrophage-Polarization State following Recovery from Lipopolysaccharide Tolerance Christine O’Carroll,* Ailı´s Fagan,† Fergus Shanahan,* and Ruaidhrı´ J. Carmody‡ LPS tolerance is an essential immune-homeostatic response to repeated exposure to LPS that prevents excessive inflammatory responses. LPS tolerance induces a state of altered responsiveness in macrophages, resulting in repression of proinflammatory gene expression and increased expression of factors that mediate the resolution of inflammation. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptional plasticity of macrophages following LPS tolerance using genome-wide transcriptional profiling. We demonstrate that LPS tolerance is a transient state and that the expression of proinflammatory genes is restored to levels comparable to the acute response to LPS. However, following recovery from LPS tolerance a number of genes remained locked in a tolerizable state, including IL-33, CD86, IL-10, and NFIL3. Furthermore, we identified of a number of genes uniquely induced following recovery from LPS tolerance. Thus, macrophages adopt a unique transcriptional profile following recovery from LPS tolerance and have Downloaded from a distinct expression pattern of regulators of Ag presentation, antiviral responses, and transcription factors. Our data suggest that recovery from LPS tolerance leads to a hybrid macrophage activation state that is proinflammatory and microbicidal in nature but that possesses a regulatory anti-inflammatory profile distinct from that of LPS-tolerant and LPS-activated macrophages.

TLRs are the result of excessive and uncontrolled cytokine levels (4, 7). I key sensors of microbial presence and host damage and are Recent transcriptional profiling of macrophages identified two central to innate inflammatory responses (1). TLR4 is the most classes of LPS-responsive genes: those that are suppressed during extensively studied TLR that recognizes LPS, an outer membrane LPS tolerance, so-called “tolerizable genes,” which include TNF-a cell wall component of Gram-negative bacteria.

This unique transcriptional signature was proposed to challenge. The most notable feature of LPS tolerance is the sharp drive a phenotypic switch in macrophage polarization from a reduction in proinflammatory cytokine expression, including TNF-a proinflammatory to an anti-inflammatory proresolution state (8). and IL-6, in response to LPS stimulation.
