Unlabelled: The cellular metabolism of macrophages depends on tissue niches and can control macrophage inflammatory or resolving phenotypes. Yet, the identity of signals within tissue niches that control macrophage metabolism is not well understood. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing of macrophages in early mouse wounds, we find that, rather than gene expression of canonical inflammatory or resolving polarization markers, metabolic gene expression defines distinct populations of early wound macrophages.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a deadly bowel necrotic disease of premature infants. Low levels of plasma IGF-1 predispose premature infants to NEC. While increasing evidence suggests that defective perinatal intestinal microvascular development plays a role in NEC, the involved mechanism remains incompletely understood.

Post-transplantation cardiac xenograft growth in an orthotopic pig to baboon model is a life-limiting phenomenon that is poorly understood. Possible causes of growth include both intrinsic and extrinsic etiologies. Extrinsic causes are thought to be attributed to maladaptive hypertrophy as a result of increased mean arterial pressure experienced by the cardiac xenograft after transplantation.

Objective: IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) exerts pleiotropic effects including promotion of cellular growth, differentiation, survival, and anabolism. We have shown that systemic IGF-1 administration reduced atherosclerosis in Apoe (apolipoprotein E deficient) mice, and this effect was associated with a reduction in lesional macrophages and a decreased number of foam cells in the plaque. Almost all cell types secrete IGF-1, but the effect of macrophage-derived IGF-1 on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is poorly understood.

Hypertension affects one-third of the world's population, leading to cardiac dysfunction that is modulated by resident and recruited immune cells. Cardiomyocyte growth and increased cardiac mass are essential to withstand hypertensive stress; however, whether immune cells are involved in this compensatory cardioprotective process is unclear. In normotensive animals, single-cell transcriptomics of fate-mapped self-renewing cardiac resident macrophages (RMs) revealed transcriptionally diverse cell states with a core repertoire of reparative gene programs, including high expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 (Igf1).
