ABSTRACT
Peritoneal resident macrophages play a key role in combating sepsis in the peritoneal cavity. We sought to determine if peritoneal transplantation of embryonic Myb- "peritoneal-like" macrophages attenuate abdominal fecal sepsis. Directed differentiation of rodent pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) was used in factor-defined media to produce embryonic-derived large "peritoneal-like" macrophages (Ed-LPM) that expressed peritoneal macrophage markers and demonstrated phagocytic capacity. Preclinical in vivo studies determined Ed-LPM efficacy in rodent abdominal fecal sepsis with or without Meropenem. Ex vivo studies explored the mechanism and effects of Ed-LPM on host immune cell number and function, including phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, efferocytosis and apoptosis. Ed-LPM reduced sepsis severity by decreasing bacterial load in the liver, spleen and lungs. Ed-LPM therapy significantly improved animal survival by ~30% and reduced systemic bacterial burden to levels comparable to Meropenem therapy. Ed-LPM therapy decreased peritoneal TNFα while increasing IL-10 concentrations. Ed-LPMs enhanced peritoneal macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria, increased macrophage production of ROS and restored homeostasis via apoptosis and efferocytosis-induced clearance of neutrophils. In conclusion, Ed-LPM reduced systemic sepsis severity, improved survival and reduced bacterial load by enhancing peritoneal macrophage bacterial phagocytosis and killing and clearance of intra-peritoneal neutrophils. Macrophage therapy may be a potential strategy to address sepsis.
