    Abstract This Forum addresses the functional and phenotypical diversity of monocytes and macrophages and explores new mechanisms that contribute to the plasticity of these cells. The contributors provide in-depth and comprehensive overviews on selected key mechanisms underlying macrophage plasticity and diversity and how they related to human disease and aging. What emerges from these contributions is the importance of the interactions of macrophages with their dynamic microenvironment and the need for a better mechanistic understanding of how these cells sense environmental cues, integrate and respond to these signals, and thereby themselves help shape their microenvironment. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 25, 756-757.

    Abstract 23-Hydroxy ursolic acid (23-OH UA) is a potent atheroprotective and anti-obesogenic phytochemical, with anti-inflammatory and inflammation-resolving properties. In this study, we examined whether dietary 23-OH UA protects mice against the acute onset and progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). Female C57BL/6 mice were fed either a defined low-calorie maintenance diet (MD) or an MD supplemented with 0.2% wgt/wgt 23-OH UA for 5 weeks prior to actively inducing EAE and during the 30 days post-immunization. We observed no difference in the onset of EAE between the groups of mice, but ataxia and EAE disease severity were suppressed by 52% and 48%, respectively, and disease incidence was reduced by over 49% in mice that received 23-OH UA in their diet. Furthermore, disease-associated weight loss was strikingly ameliorated in 23-OH UA-fed mice. ELISPOT analysis showed no significant differences in frequencies of T cells producing IL-17 or IFN-γ between 23-OH UA-fed mice and control mice, suggesting that 23-OH UA does not appear to regulate peripheral T cell responses. In summary, our findings in EAE mice strongly suggest that dietary 23-OH UA may represent an effective oral adjunct therapy for the prevention and treatment of relapsing-remitting MS.

    Abstract Background and aims: Deficiency in the thiol transferase glutaredoxin 1 (Grx1) in aging mice promotes, in a sexually dimorphic manner, dysregulation of macrophages and atherogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms are not known. Here we tested the hypothesis that macrophage-restricted overexpression of Grx1 protects atherosclerosis-prone mice against macrophage reprogramming and dysfunction induced by a high-calorie diet (HCD) and thereby reduces the severity of atherosclerosis.
    Methods: We generated lentiviral vectors carrying cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68) promoter-driven enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) or Grx1 constructs and conducted bone marrow (BM) transplantation studies to overexpress Grx1 in a macrophage-specific manner in male and female atherosclerosis-prone LDLR
    Results: Overexpression of Grx1 protected macrophages against HCD-induced protein S-glutathionylation, reduced monocyte chemotaxis in vivo, limited macrophage recruitment into atherosclerotic lesions, and was sufficient to reduce the severity of atherogenesis in both male and female mice. Gene profiling revealed major sex differences in the transcriptional reprogramming of macrophages induced by HCD feeding, but Grx1 overexpression only partially reversed HCD-induced transcriptional reprogramming of macrophages.
    Conclusions: Macrophage Grx1 plays a major role in protecting mice atherosclerosis mainly by maintaining the thiol redox state of the macrophage proteome and preventing macrophage dysfunction.

    Abstract Background and aims: The thiol transferase glutaredoxin 1 controls redox signaling and cellular functions by regulating the S-glutathionylation status of critical protein thiols. Here we tested the hypothesis that by derepressing the expression of glutaredoxin 1, inhibition of histone deacetylase 2 prevents nutrient stress-induced protein S-glutathionylation and monocyte dysfunction and protects against atherosclerosis.
    Methods: Using both a pharmacological inhibitor and shRNA-mediated knockdown of histone deacetylase 2, we determine the role of this deacetylase on glutaredoxin 1 expression and nutrient stress-induced inactivation of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 1 activity and monocyte and macrophage dysfunction. To assess whether histone deacetylase 2 inhibition in myeloid cells protects against atherosclerosis, we fed eight-week-old female and male HDAC2
    Results: Myeloid histone deacetylase 2 deficiency in high-calorie diet-fed LDLR
    Conclusions: Specific histone deacetylase 2 inhibitors may represent a potential novel therapeutic strategy for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, but any benefits may be sexually dimorphic.

    Abstract High-calorie diet-induced nutrient stress promotes thiol oxidative stress and the reprogramming of blood monocytes, giving rise to dysregulated, obesogenic, proatherogenic monocyte-derived macrophages. We report that in chow-fed, reproductively senescent female mice but not in age-matched male mice, deficiency in the thiol transferase glutaredoxin 1 (Grx1) promotes dysregulated macrophage phenotypes as well as rapid weight gain and atherogenesis. Grx1 deficiency derepresses distinct expression patterns of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species generators in male versus female macrophages, poising female but not male macrophages for increased peroxynitrate production. Hematopoietic Grx1 deficiency recapitulates this sexual dimorphism in high-calorie diet-fed LDLR

    Abstract MAPK pathways play a critical role in the activation of monocytes and macrophages by pathogens, signaling molecules and environmental cues and in the regulation of macrophage function and plasticity. MAPK phosphatase 1 (MKP-1) has emerged as the main counter-regulator of MAPK signaling in monocytes and macrophages. Loss of MKP-1 in monocytes and macrophages in response to metabolic stress leads to dysregulation of monocyte adhesion and migration, and gives rise to dysfunctional, proatherogenic monocyte-derived macrophages. Here we review the properties of this redox-regulated dual-specificity MAPK phosphatase and the role of MKP-1 in monocyte and macrophage biology and cardiovascular diseases.
