Abstract

Purpose: Macrophage immune cells play crucial roles in the inflammatory (M1) and regenerative (M2) processes. The extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, including presentation of embedded ligands, governs macrophage function. Laminin concentration is abundant in the basement membrane and is dependent on pathological state: reduced in inflammation and increased during regeneration. Distinct laminin ligands, such as IKVAV and YIGSR, have disparate roles in dictating cell function. For example, IKVAV, derived from the alpha chain of laminin, promotes angiogenesis and metastasis of cancer cells whereas YIGSR, beta chain derived, impedes angiogenesis and tumor progression. Previous work has demonstrated IKVAV's inflammation inhibiting properties in macrophages. Given the divergent role of IKVAV and YIGSR in interacting with cells through varied integrin receptors, we ask: what role does laminin derived peptide YIGSR play in governing macrophage function?

Methods: We quantified the influence of YIGSR on macrophage phenotype in 2D and 3D via immunostaining assessments for M1 marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and M2 marker Arginase-1 (Arg-1). We also analysed the secretome of human and murine macrophage response to YIGSR via a Luminex bead assay.

Results: YIGSR impact on macrophage phenotype occurs in a concentration-dependent manner. At lower concentrations of YIGSR, macrophage inflammation was increased whereas, at higher concentrations of YIGSR the opposite effect was seen within the same time frame. Secretomic assessments also demonstrate that pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines were increased at low YIGSR concentrations in M0, M1, M2 macrophages while pro-inflammatory secretion was reduced at higher concentrations.

Conclusions: YIGSR can be used as a tool to modulate macrophage inflammatory state within M1 and M2 phenotypes depending on the concentration of peptide. YIGSR's impact on macrophage function can be leveraged for the development of immunoengineering strategies in regenerative medicine and cancer therapy.
