| Summary |
Macrophages polarize towards different subpopulations with distinct and partly antagonistic functions in various diseases. IFNγ/LPS-polarized M1-type macrophages can have antiangiogenic activity, whereas IL-4-induced M2-type macrophages can be proangiogenic and profibrotic. Therapeutic strategies to inhibit M2-type polarization while promoting M1-type polarization could serve to inhibit pathological angiogenesis and fibrosis. Here, by combining global quantitative time-course proteomics and phosphoproteomics with a small-molecule inhibitor screen we identify signaling events that promote specifically IL-4-induced and not IFNγ/LPS-induced macrophage polarization and found that the MEK inhibitor trametinib and the HDAC inhibitor panobinostat potently prevent M2-type macrophage polarization without inhibiting M1-type polarization. In contrast, selective B-Raf inhibition promotes M2-type polarization. Trametinib and panobinostat also blocked M2-type macrophage polarization and concomitantly angiogenesis and fibrosis in models of wound healing and neovascular age-related macular degeneration in vivo. Thus, these pharmacologic inhibitors could be utilized therapeutically to selectively block IL4-induced macrophage polarization and reduce pathologic angiogenesis and fibrosis.
