Arg-1Ym-1 M2-type macrophages play essential roles in the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Thus, inhibition of M2-type macrophages may be effective in suppressing CNV. However, the potential mechanisms of macrophage polarization during development of CNV remain unclear. In this study, we report that microRNA-155 (miR-155) inhibited M2 polarization by targeting C/EBPβ in CNV model mice and in bone marrow-derived primary macrophages. Moreover, our data show that intravitreous injection of miR-155 mimics suppressed subretinal leakage and neovascularization. Therefore, we conclude that C/EBPβ plays a significant role in M2 macrophage polarization in CNV model, while miR-155 mimics could suppress CNV by inhibiting C/EBPβ activity and M2 macrophage polarization.
Arg-1Ym-1 M2 型巨噬细胞在脉络膜新生血管(CNV)的发展中起着至关重要的作用。因此,抑制 M2 型巨噬细胞可能对抑制 CNV 有效。然而,CNV 发展过程中巨噬细胞极化的潜在机制尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们报告了 microRNA-155(miR-155)通过靶向 CNV 模型小鼠和骨髓来源的原代巨噬细胞中的 C/EBPβ 抑制 M2 极化。此外,我们的数据表明,玻璃体内注射 miR-155 模拟物可抑制视网膜下渗漏和新生血管形成。因此,我们得出结论,C/EBPβ 在 CNV 模型中的 M2 巨噬细胞极化中起重要作用,而 miR-155 模拟物可通过抑制 C/EBPβ 活性和 M2 巨噬细胞极化来抑制 CNV。
