Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has dose-dependent biphasic functions (cell protective versus cell toxic). To clarify the different effects of LPS on liver homeostasis or liver diseases, comparisons were made between low and high doses of LPS, in terms of the mutual relation of hepatic macrophages, autophagy, and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in male F344/DuCrlCrlj rats. Rats injected with low dose (0.1 mg/kg) or high dose (2.0 mg/kg) of LPS were examined at 6, 10, and 24 hours following single injections. Histologically, focal hepatocellular necrosis was occasionally present in high-dose animals, whereas there were no significant changes in low-dose animals. In low-dose animals, Kupffer cells reacting to CD163 and CD204 were hypertrophic and regarded as M2 macrophages, which promote resolution of inflammation and tissue repair, whereas in high-dose animals, infiltration of M1 macrophages expressing CD68 and major histocompatibility complex class II, which enhance cell injury, was seen. Hepatocytes with high-mobility-group box-1 (HMGB1) (one of DAMPs)-positive cytoplasmic granules appeared more frequently in high-dose animals than in low-dose animals, indicating the translocation of nuclear HMGB1 into the cytoplasm. However, although light-chain 3 beta-positive autophagosomes in hepatocytes increased in both doses, abnormally vacuolated autophagosomes were only seen in injured hepatocytes in the high-dose group, indicating possible extracellular release of HMGB1, which might result in cell injury and inflammation. These findings suggested that low-dose LPS induced a favorable mutual relationship among hepatic macrophages, autophagy, and DAMPs leading to cytoprotection of hepatocytes, whereas failures of the relationship in high-dose LPS caused hepatocyte injury.

Establishment and characterisation of cell lines and xenograft mouse models of canine systemic histiocytosis and disseminated histiocytic sarcoma. Vet Comp Oncol 2022; 20:465-475.

Abstract
Canine histiocytic proliferative disorders include reactive diseases (histiocytosis) and neoplastic diseases (histiocytic sarcoma [HS]), however discrimination is challenging due to their overlapping pathological features. In the present study, novel cell lines and xenograft mouse models of systemic histiocytosis (SyH) and disseminated HS were established, and examined together with cell lines previously established from localized HS and Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). The chromosomal numbers of the SyH and HS cell lines were abnormal, and their population doubling time and morphological features were comparable. Immunophenotypically, SyH and HS cells were CD204+/E-cadherin+ in vitro and in vivo, like their original tissues. Western blot analysis for E-cadherin revealed an immunopositive band of full-length E-cadherin (120 kDa) in cultured cells of localized HS and LCH but not in disseminated HS and SyH; expression level was weaker in localized HS than in LCH. An immunopositive band of fragmented E-cadherin (45 kDa) was detected in cell lines of disseminated HS and SyH. These results suggest that cultured SyH cells have features that are similar to disseminated HS, including chromosomal aberration, high proliferation activity, weak cell adhesion, and expression of fragmented E-cadherin. Fragmentation of the E-cadherin cell adhesion molecule may be associated with the loss of cell adhesion and increased abilities of invasion and migration of neoplastic cells. The established cell lines and xenograft mouse models will aid in understanding the pathogenesis and developing novel treatments of canine histiocytic proliferative disorders.

Regression of corpus luteum in cetaceans: A systematic review. ZOOLOGY 2021; 149:125960.

Abstract
Functional and structural change of corpus luteum through the cascade of several genes in the ovary leads to ovulation and pregnancy. In most mammals, the absence of pregnancy leads to the disintegration of the corpus luteum. In the ovary of cetaceans, the regression of the corpus luteum gets delayed and persists on the surface as scars (corpus albicans). The database on luteolysis of mammals was collected and examined to know the mechanisms involved in the corpus luteum regression of cetaceans. Surprisingly, there existed no data on the concerned topic. Some past findings reported the persistence of ovarian scars through the entire life span, while few reported the regression. Also, those investigations were about the physiology and histology of corpus luteum regression. The pathways and the genes involved in the regression of the cetacean corpus luteum remain unexplored. This review is all about the regression of corpus luteum and recommends gene-based evolutionary studies in the future to resolve the existing theories on ovarian scar persistence in cetaceans.

Abstract
The liver consists of parenchymal hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells. Non-parenchymal cells, Kupffer cells, hepatic stellate cells and cholangiocytes have crucial roles in liver homeostasis and liver pathology. To establish baseline data, this study investigated immunohistochemically the distribution of non-parenchymal cells in perivenular areas (PV), periportal areas (PP) and Glisson's sheath (GS) of adult rat liver. Liver tissues were collected from the left lateral lobe of rats. CD163-positive macrophages were seen along the sinusoid of PV and PP areas, indicating Kupffer cells. Double immunofluorescence showed, Kupffer cells partly co-expressed CD68 and MHC class II antigens in the liver. The numbers of Kupffer cells were significantly high in PP areas as compared with PV or GS areas. CD68-positive exudative macrophages were highly localized in PP and GS areas and a comparatively low PV area. MHC class II-positive dendritic cells (activated macrophages) were localized mainly in GS. Granzyme B-positive NK cells were mainly localized in the Glisson's sheath. CD3-positive T cells and CD20-positive B cells were distributed along the sinusoids of the PP and PV areas of hepatic lobules. Vimentin and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive hepatic stellate cells were localized along sinusoids in the hepatic lobules of the liver. Cholangiocytes reacting to cytokeratin 19 were seen on interlobular bile ducts in Glisson's sheath of the liver. This study shows that heterogeneous macrophage populations, liver-resident lymphocytes and hepatic stellate cells localized in PP and PV areas or GS areas of the liver with cells specific patterns.

Abstract
Histiocytic sarcoma was investigated histopathologically and immunohistochemically in 17 four-toed hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris), along
with a review of their clinical data. Cases were histopathologically classified into two types: round-polygonal cell type (6 cases) and spindle cell type (11
cases). Round-polygonal cell type was found in visceral organs such as the spleen, lymph nodes, and more, and most cases of this type were consistent with
disseminated histiocytic sarcoma. On the other hand, spindle cell type occurred mainly in skin, and almost all cases were consistent with localized histiocytic
sarcoma. The prognosis of patients with round-polygonal cell type appeared worse than that of spindle cell type. Immunohistochemically, neoplastic cells of
spindle cell type showed stronger reactivity against human leukocyte antigen-DR than round-polygonal cell type. Neoplastic cells of all cases showed strong
reactivity against ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule-1 (Iba-1) and various reactivities against cluster of differentiation (CD) 204. Regardless of
morphological classification, most tumor cells were negative for CD163, suggesting that this marker is less effective for the diagnosis of histiocytic sarcoma.
The results of this study suggest that Iba-1 is the most effective marker for histiocytic sarcoma.

Abstract
The mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) is a family of cells of related function that includes bone marrow progenitors, blood monocytes and resident tissue macrophages. Macrophages are effector cells in both innate and acquired immunity. They are a major resident cell population in every organ and their numbers increase in response to proinflammatory stimuli. Their function is highly regulated by a wide range of agonists, including lymphokines, cytokines and products of microorganisms. Macrophage biology has been studied most extensively in mice, yet direct comparisons of rodent and human macrophages have revealed many functional differences. In this review, we provide an overview of the equine MPS, describing the variation in the function and phenotype of macrophages depending on their location and the similarities and differences between the rodent, human and equine immune response. We discuss the use of the horse as a large animal model in which to study macrophage biology and pathological processes shared with humans. Finally, following the recent update to the horse genome, facilitating further comparative analysis of regulated gene expression between the species, we highlight the importance of future transcriptomic macrophage studies in the horse, the findings of which may also be applicable to human as well as veterinary research.

Abstract
Histiocytic proliferative diseases are rare in cats, and their pathogenesis is poorly understood. In the present study, 25 cases of histiocytic sarcoma (HS) and 6 of feline progressive histiocytosis (FPH) were examined, and survival times were recorded in 19 cases. The immunophenotypes of tumor cells in these cases as well as of nonneoplastic feline histiocytes were characterized using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. An FPH cell line (AS-FPH01) and xenotransplant mouse model of FPH were also established. The median survival time of HS (150 days) was significantly shorter than that of FPH (470 days). Immunohistochemically, nonneoplastic histiocytes were immunopositive for various combinations of Iba-1, HLA-DR, E-cadherin, CD204, CD163, CD208, and MAC387. By immunohistochemistry, dermal interstitial dendritic cells (iDCs) and macrophages were CD204+/E-cadherin-, while epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs) were CD204-/E-cadherin+. Neoplastic cells of 4 FPH and 18 HS were CD204+/E-cadherin- (iDC/macrophage immunophenotype), while 2 FPH and 2 HS were CD204-/E-cadherin+ (LC immunophenotype), and 5 HS were CD204+/E-cadherin+ (LC-like cell immunophenotype). Furthermore, immunohistochemical and western blot analyses of AS-FPH01 cells derived from E-cadherin-negative FPH revealed that cultured cells were immunopositive for both CD204 and E-cadherin in vitro and in vivo. These results indicate that the neoplastic cells of feline HS and FPH were variably positive for iDC/macrophage and LC markers, and their immunophenotype changed in different microenvironments. The novel cell line established in the present study may serve as an experimental model of FPH that will enable further molecular and therapeutic studies on this disease.

Abstract
CSF-1R is a receptor mostly associated with the mononuclear phagocytic system. However, its expression within tumors has been linked with poor prognosis in both humans and dogs. Accordingly, several reports have demonstrated the beneficial effects of blocking CSF-1R in model systems of cancer. In this study, we generated a monoclonal antibody that could block CSF-1R in dogs as the first step to develop an anticancer drug for this species. Initially, an antibody was raised by the hybridoma methodology against the fragment responsible for receptor dimerization. mAb3.1, one of the resulting hybridoma clones, was able to bind macrophages in fixed tissues and was shown to inhibit cells of the mononuclear phagocytic line. Nevertheless, mAb 3.1 could not bind to some glycoforms of the receptor in its native form, while also demonstrating cross-reactivity with other proteins. To enhance binding properties of the mAb, five amino acids of the complementarity-determining region 2 of the variable heavy chain of mAb3.1 were mutated by PCR, and the variant scFv clones were screened by phage display. The selected scFv clones demonstrated improved binding to the native receptor as well as increased anti-macrophage activity. The resulting scFv antibody fragment presented here has the potential for use in cancer patients and in inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, this work provides insights into the use of such restricted mutations in antibody engineering.

Abstract
Intestinal macrophages are the largest group of mononuclear phagocytes in the body and play a role in intestinal innate immunity, neuroimmune interactions and maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Conversely, they also are implicated in numerous pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, such as postoperative ileus and inflammatory bowel disease. As a result, macrophages could be potential therapeutic targets. To date, there are limited studies on the morphology and distribution of macrophages in the equine gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The aim of this study was to identify the location and abundance of resident macrophages in the equine GIT using CD163 as an immunohistochemical marker. Tissue samples were obtained post-mortem from 14 sites along the gastrointestinal tracts of 10 horses free from gastrointestinal disease; sample sites extended from the stomach to the small colon. CD163+ve cells were present in all regions of the equine GIT from stomach to small colon. CD163+ve cells were also identified in all tissue layers of the intestinal wall, namely, mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa (ME), myenteric plexus and serosa. Consistent with a proposed function in regulation of intestinal motility, CD163+ve cells were regularly distributed within the ME, with accumulations closely associated with the myenteric plexus and effector cells such as neurons and the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC).

Abstract
Johne's disease is an enteric disease caused by the intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Upon ingestion of MAP, it is translocated across the intestinal epithelium and may be killed by intestinal macrophages, or depending on the bacterial burden and immunological status of the animal, MAP may thwart innate defense mechanisms and persist within the macrophage. This study aimed to determine the numbers of macrophages and MAP present in bovine midileal tissue during different stages of infection. Immunofluorescent (IF) labeling was performed on frozen bovine midileal intestinal tissue collected from 28 Holstein dairy cows. The number of macrophages in midileal tissue sections was higher for clinically affected cows, followed by subclinically affected cows and then uninfected control cows. Macrophages were present throughout the tissue sections in clinical cows, including the tunica muscularis, submucosa, and the lamina propria around the crypts and in the villous tips, with progressively fewer macrophages in subclinically affected and control cows. Clinically affected cows also demonstrated significantly higher numbers of MAP and higher numbers of macrophages with intracellular MAP compared to subclinically affected cows. MAP IF labeling was present within the submucosa and lamina propria around the crypts, progressing into the villous tips in some clinically affected cows. Our findings indicate that number of macrophages increases with progression of infection, but a significant number of the macrophages present in the midileum are not associated with MAP.

Abstract
To investigate the significance of the appearance of hepatic macrophages and expression of inflammatory factors in normal and macrophage-depleted livers, hepatic macrophages were depleted with liposome (Lipo)-encapsulated clodronate (CLD; 50 mg/kg, i.v.) followed by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) in F344 rats (CLD + LPS). Vehicle control rats (Lipo + LPS) received empty-Lipo before LPS. The low dose of LPS did not result in microscopic changes in the liver in either treatment group but did modulate M1 and M2 macrophage activity in Lipo + LPS rats without altering repopulating hepatic macrophages in CLD + LPS rats. LPS treatment in Lipo + LPS rats dramatically increased the M1 (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1) but not M2 macrophage-related factors (IL-4 and CSF-1) compared to CLD + LPS rats. In the CLD + LPS rats, the M2 macrophage-related factors IL-4 and CSF-1 were elevated. In conclusion, low-dose LPS activated hepatic macrophages in rat livers without causing liver injury or stimulating repopulating hepatic macrophages. These data suggest that LPS may alter the liver microenvironment by modulating M1 or M2 macrophage-related inflammatory mediators and macrophage-based hepatotoxicity.

Equine Arteritis Virus Has Specific Tropism for Stromal Cells and CD8 + T and CD21 + B Lymphocytes but Not for Glandular Epithelium at the Primary Site of Persistent Infection in the Stallion Reproductive Tract.

Abstract
Equine arteritis virus (EAV) has a global impact on the equine industry as the causative agent of equine viral arteritis (EVA), a respiratory, systemic, and reproductive disease of equids. A distinctive feature of EAV infection is that it establishes long-term persistent infection in 10 to 70% of infected stallions (carriers). In these stallions, EAV is detectable only in the reproductive tract, and viral persistence occurs despite the presence of high serum neutralizing antibody titers. Carrier stallions constitute the natural reservoir of the virus as they continuously shed EAV in their semen. Although the accessory sex glands have been implicated as the primary sites of EAV persistence, the viral host cell tropism and whether viral replication in carrier stallions occurs in the presence or absence of host inflammatory responses remain unknown. In this study, dual immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence techniques were employed to unequivocally demonstrate that the ampulla is the main EAV tissue reservoir rather than immunologically privileged tissues (i.e., testes). Furthermore, we demonstrate that EAV has specific tropism for stromal cells (fibrocytes and possibly tissue macrophages) and CD8+ T and CD21+ B lymphocytes but not glandular epithelium. Persistent EAV infection is associated with moderate, multifocal lymphoplasmacytic ampullitis comprising clusters of B (CD21+) lymphocytes and significant infiltration of T (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD25+) lymphocytes, tissue macrophages, and dendritic cells (Iba-1+ and CD83+), with a small number of tissue macrophages expressing CD163 and CD204 scavenger receptors. This study suggests that EAV employs complex immune evasion mechanisms that warrant further investigation.IMPORTANCE The major challenge for the worldwide control of EAV is that this virus has the distinctive ability to establish persistent infection in the stallion's reproductive tract as a mechanism to ensure its maintenance in equid populations. Therefore, the precise identification of tissue and cellular tropism of EAV is critical for understanding the molecular basis of viral persistence and for development of improved prophylactic or treatment strategies. This study significantly enhances our understanding of the EAV carrier state in stallions by unequivocally identifying the ampullae as the primary sites of viral persistence, combined with the fact that persistence involves continuous viral replication in fibrocytes (possibly including tissue macrophages) and T and B lymphocytes in the presence of detectable inflammatory responses, suggesting the involvement of complex viral mechanisms of immune evasion. Therefore, EAV persistence provides a powerful new natural animal model to study RNA virus persistence in the male reproductive tract.

Abstract
Hepatic macrophages play crucial roles in hepatotoxicity. We investigated immunophenotypes of macrophages in liver injury induced in rats by thioacetamide (TAA; 300 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) after hepatic macrophage depletion; hepatic macrophages were depleted by liposomal clodronate (CLD; 10 ml/kg, i.v.) one day before TAA injection. Samples were obtained on post-TAA injection days 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. TAA injection induced coagulation necrosis of hepatocytes on days 1 through 3 and subsequent reparative fibrosis on days 5 and 7 in the centrilobular area, accompanied by increased numbers of M1 macrophages (expressing cluster of differentiation [CD]68 and major histocompatibility complex class II) and M2 macrophages (expressing CD163 and CD204) mainly on days 1 through 3. TAA + CLD treatment markedly decreased the numbers of M1 and M2 macrophages mainly on days 1 through 3; CD163(+) Kupffer cells were most sensitive to CLD depletion. In TAA + CLD-treated rats, interestingly, coagulation necrosis of hepatocytes was prolonged with more increased levels of hepatic enzymes (aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase) to TAA-treated rats; reparative fibrosis was incomplete and replaced by dystrophic calcification in the injured area, indicating the aggravated damage. Furthermore, in TAA + CLD-treated rats, inflammatory factors (monocyte chemoattractant protein [MCP]-1, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-10) and fibrosis-related factors (transforming growth factor-β1, matrix metalloproteinase-2, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1) were decreased at messenger RNA levels, indicating abnormal macrophage functions. It was clearly demonstrated that hepatic macrophages have important roles in tissue damage and remodeling in hepatotoxicity.

Histopathological Analysis of Rat Hepatotoxicity Based on Macrophage Functions: in Particular, an Analysis for Thioacetamide-induced Hepatic Lesions. Food Saf (Tokyo) 2016; 4:61-73.

Abstract
Hepatic macrophages play an important role in homeostasis. The functional abnormalities of hepatic macrophages primarily or secondarily influence chemically induced hepatotoxicity. However, the evaluation system based on their functions has not yet been established. Recently, a new concept (M1-/M2-macrophage polarization) was proposed; M1-macropahges are induced by INF-γ, and show high phagocytosis/tissue damage, whereas M2-macropahges are induced by IL-4 and play roles in reparative fibrosis by releasing IL-10 and TGF-β1. In hepatogenesis, CD68-expressing M1-macrophages predominantly exist in embryos; in neonates, in contrast, CD163-/CD204-expressing M2-macrophages appear along the sinusoids and mature as Kupffer cells. Activated Kupffer cells by liposome decrease AST and ALT values, whereas AST and ALT values are increased under Kupffer cells depleted with clodronate treatment. Since Kupffer cells may be involved in clearance of liver enzymes, macrophage condition should be taken into consideration when hepatotoxicity is analyzed. In TAA-induced acute hepatic lesions, INF-γ, TNF-α and IL-6 for M1-factors and IL-4 for M2-factors are already increased before histopathological change; the appearance of CD68-expressing M1-macrophages and CD163-expressing M2-macrophages follows in injured centrilobular lesions, and TGF-β1 and IL-10 are increased for reparative fibrosis. CD68-expressing M1-macrophages co-express MHC class II and Iba-1, whereas CD163-expressing M2-macrophages also express CD204 and Galectin-3. Under macrophage depletion by clodoronate, TAA-treated rat livers show prolonged coagulation necrosis of hepatocytes, and then develop dystrophic calcification without reparative fibrosis. The depletion of hepatic macrophages influences hepatic lesion development. Collectively, a histopathological analysis method for hepatotoxicity according to M1-/M2-macrophage polarization would lead to the refinement of hazard characterization of chemicals in food and feed.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to analyze the skin (nasal surface and ear regions), lymph nodes (popliteal and pre-scapular), spleen and liver of dogs with visceral leishmaniasis (VL), in order to investigate the relationship between the parasite load measured as DNA copy number of Alpha gene of DNA polymerase of Leishmania infantum by quantitative PCR and the number of M2 macrophages by immunohistochemistry. A set of 29 naturally infected dogs from an endemic area for VL were sampled and another set of six dogs negative for VL and from a non-endemic area were analyzed as the control group (C). The spleen presented the highest number of Leishmania DNA copies, with significant differences between the groups G1 and G2 (with and without skin lesions, respectively). The M2 phenotype immunostaining predominated among the macrophages in granulomas and inflammatory infiltrates of samples from the skin, lymph nodes and spleens examined. The presence of M2 macrophages in dogs from infected group differed significantly from the control group, in all organs analyzed, excepted liver. The highest proportion of M2 macrophages coincided with the highest parasitism loads found in more susceptible organs of VL dogs, even in the skin, considered a more resistant organ, while the liver showed low parasitism load and low immunostaining for M2 macrophages with no significant differences between infected and negative groups. It was concluded that the predominance of M2 phenotype in VL dogs favored the multiplication of Leishmania infantum in organs of dogs that are more susceptible to Leishmania infection, as skin, lymph nodes and spleen.

Abstract
In horse, the characterizations of hyalocytes under the steady state are still unclear. Therefore, we
investigated characterizations of hyalocytes in normal equine eyes by their immunohistochemical phenotype,
histomorphology and distribution. Thirty-one eyes from 18 horses, divided into 4 groups (G) by age, were used:
early (G1) and late gestation (G2) fetuses, 1- to 3-year-old (G3) and 8- to 24-year-old (G4) horses. Equine
hyalocytes were histologically classified into 4 types, and they immunohistochemically expressed MHC II and
CD163. Hyalocytes were detected on and/or around ciliary processes and pars plana in G2, G3 and G4, but were
not located on retina and optic papilla. A significant increase in distribution was found between G2 and both
G3 and G4, and the largest distribution was found at ciliary processes in these groups. Equine hyalocytes were
characterized as residential ocular macrophage and MHC II antigen-bearing cell, accompanied by a pleomorphic
appearance and located in the contiguous ciliary body. Our data provided characterizations of hyalocytes in
normal equine eyes and may well contribute to improving the understanding of pathogenesis of equine ocular
disease.

Abstract
Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the uveal tract participate in ocular immunity including immune
homeostasis and the pathogenesis of uveitis. In horses, although uveitis is the most common ocular disorder,
little is known about ocular immunity, such as the distribution of APCs. In this study, we investigated the
distribution of CD163-positive and MHC II-positive cells in the normal equine uveal tract using an
immunofluorescence technique. Eleven eyes from 10 Thoroughbred horses aged 1 to 24 years old were used.
Indirect immunofluorescence was performed using the primary antibodies CD163, MHC class II (MHC II) and CD20.
To demonstrate the site of their greatest distribution, positive cells were manually counted in 3 different
parts of the uveal tract (ciliary body, iris and choroid), and their average number was assessed by
statistical analysis. The distribution of pleomorphic CD163- and MHC II-expressed cells was detected
throughout the equine uveal tract, but no CD20-expressed cells were detected. The statistical analysis
demonstrated the distribution of CD163- and MHC II-positive cells focusing on the ciliary body. These results
demonstrated that the ciliary body is the largest site of their distribution in the normal equine uveal tract,
and the ciliary body is considered to play important roles in uveal and/or ocular immune homeostasis. The data
provided in this study will help further understanding of equine ocular immunity in the normal state and might
be beneficial for understanding of mechanisms of ocular disorders, such as equine uveitis.

Abstract
This report describes the microscopical and immunohistochemical characteristics of littoral cell angiosarcoma in a 12-year-old, neutered female, beagle dog. The dog succumbed to metastatic disease 3 months after diagnosis of a mid-splenic mass. The tumour was characterized by two histological patterns: anastomosing microvascular channels and microvascular papillary fronds. The neoplastic cells expressed both endothelial and histiocytic markers and were erythrophagocytic. Immunohistochemical findings consistent with malignancy were CD34 expression and high Ki67 nuclear immunoreactivity.

Abstract
The immunohistochemical expression of the class A macrophage scavenger receptor CD204, was investigated in 50 canine histiocytic sarcomas (HSs) and compared with that of CD18, CD163, CD11d and class II molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Expression of CD204 was also determined in 81 canine round cell tumours and pleomorphic sarcomas including T- and B-cell lymphomas, mast cell tumours, extramedullary plasmacytomas, cutaneous histiocytomas, transmissible venereal tumours, pigmented or amelanotic melanomas, poorly differentiated haemangiosarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas. All of the 50 HSs expressed CD204, CD18 and MHC class II; 27 were positive for CD163 and seven expressed CD11d. All of the round cell tumours, except for one grade III mast cell tumour, were negative for CD204; however, they showed varying immunoreactivity patterns for CD18 and MHC class II. None of the pleomorphic sarcomas were immunoreactive for CD204. CD204 would appear to be a useful marker for canine HS.

Abstract
The functional phenotype of resident macrophages significantly determines the character of an inflammatory response. In this study we identified two phenotypes of tissue macrophages in bovine teat tissue based on expression of Calprotectin and CD163. To investigate a possible link between the dichotomy in phenotype and functional properties of cells in association with different host mediators we set up an in vitro model with bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (MdM). In vitro differentiated MdM invariably and uniformly expressed both antigens. Classically activated MdM (IFN-γ priming and LPS stimulation) showed a decreased CD163 expression while alternative activation (IL-4/IL-13 priming) did not change expression of CD163 and Calprotectin. Differently activated MdM showed a clearly distinct expression of genes related to classical (IL-12, inducible NO synthase) or alternative activation (IL-10, arginase I). The presence of the inflammatory host mediator prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) neither influenced expression of Calprotectin and CD163 nor gene expression profiles in MdM generated in the presence of PGE(2) (PGE(2)-MdM). Supernatants of PGE(2-)MdM, however, significantly dampened the migration of neutrophilic granulocytes. The results of this study highlight the discrepancy between in vivo and in vitro obtained macrophages and point to the necessity to analyze the functional capacities of bovine tissue macrophages in situ.

Abstract
Macrophages are crucial in hepatic fibrogenesis. In acute hepatic necrosis induced in rats by a single injection of 300 mg/kg body weight (BW) of thioacetamide (TAA), macrophage properties were investigated using single or double immunohistochemistry. Macrophages reacting with anti-CD68, anti-CD163, or major histocompatibility complex (anti-MHC) class II antibody appeared in injured centrilobular areas on days 1-5 after injection. Increased expression of CD68 and CD163 reflect phagocytosis and production of pro-inflammatory factors, respectively. There were also macrophages double-positive to CD68/CD163, CD68/MHC class II, or CD163/MHC class II; of these, macrophages double-positive to CD68/MHC class II were most frequent, indicating that macrophages with enhanced phagocytic activity came to express MHC class II. The appearance of these macrophages corresponded to increased expression of mRNAs of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a chemokine, on day 1, and TGF-β1, a fibrogenic factor, on day 3. Some hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in injured areas reacted with anti-MCP-1 antibody. To investigate the effects of MCP-1, we added MCP-1 to HS-P, a rat macrophage line. Addition of MCP-1 increased immunoexpression for CD68 and CD163 and up-regulated TGF-β1 mRNA expression. Collectively, macrophages in acute hepatic necrosis may express different properties such as phagocytosis, MHC class II expression, and TGF-β1 production; such expression may be influenced by MCP-1 produced by HSCs.

Abstract
A 19.5-year-old male mongrel dog developed a progressive lameness and swelling around the right carpus. A tumor (6 x 3 x 3 cm) was found in the caudal of distal antebrachium of the right forelimb, including tendons of the superficial digital flexor muscle and deep digital flexor muscle. No joint destruction was observed. The tumor consisted of round and spindle cells arranged in a compact sheet. There were occasional slit-like spaces or lumina, and areas rich in collagen fibers giving an appearance of tendon tissues. Neoplastic cells gave a positive immunoreaction to vimentin, but negative reactions to antibodies against S-100 protein, cytokeratin and myoglobin. Based on these findings, this tumor was diagnosed as a synovial sarcoma generating from the tendon and tendon sheath, which is very uncommon in dogs.

Abstract
CD163 is a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich superfamily restricted to the monocyte/macrophage lineage and is thought to be a useful marker for anti-inflammatory or alternatively activated macrophages. In this study we used mass spectrometric analysis to determine that the antigen recognized by the antibody AM-3K, which we previously generated as a tissue macrophage-specific monoclonal antibody, was CD163. An anti-inflammatory subtype of macrophages stimulated by dexamethasone or interleukin-10 showed strong reactivity for AM-3K and increased expression of CD163 mRNA. Immunohistochemical staining of routinely processed pathological specimens revealed that AM-3K recognized a specialized subpopulation of macrophages. In granulomatous diseases such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, or foreign body reactions, tissue macrophages around granulomas, but not component cells of the granulomas such as epithelioid cells and multinucleated giant cells, showed positive staining for AM-3K. In atherosclerotic lesions, scattered macrophages in diffuse intimal lesions were strongly positive for AM-3K, whereas foamy macrophages in atheromatous plaques demonstrated only weak staining. We therefore suggest that, in routine pathological specimens, AM-3K is a useful marker for anti-inflammatory macrophages because these cells can be distinguished from inflammatory or classically activated macrophages. Because AM-3K cross-reacts with macrophage subpopulations in different animal species including rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, goats, pigs, bovine species, horses, monkeys, and cetaceans, it will have wide application for detection of CD163 in various animals.

Abstract
Macrophages infiltrating injured tissue play an important part in fibrogenesis. To shed light on the functional roles of macrophages, we investigated the appearance of macrophage populations in thioacetamide (TAA)-induced rat hepatic lesions, with or without pretreatment with GdCl(3), a chemical capable of inhibiting Kupffer cell functions. In the GdCl(3)+TAA group rats received a single intraperitoneal injection of GdCl(3) (7.5mg/kg body weight) and, after 24h, a single intravenous injection of TAA (300mg/kg body weight). Rats in the TAA group received TAA only. Rats in both groups were examined on post-TAA injection (PTI) days 3, 5, and 7. In the TAA group, on PTI day 3, when TAA-induced hepatocyte injury was particularly prominent, the number of macrophages peaked, subsequently decreasing until PTI day 7. As compared with the TAA group, the GdCl(3)+TAA group showed significantly decreased numbers of ED1-immunolabelled cells (exudate macrophages) and ED2-immunolabelled cells (Kupffer cells) on PTI days 3, 5, and 7, and OX6-immunolabelled cells (antigen-presenting macrophages) on PTI days 3 and 5. Although less strikingly, the numbers of alpha-smooth muscle actin-positive myofibroblasts and fibrotic areas were decreased in the GdCl(3)+TAA group. By RT-PCR, the expression of TGF-beta1 mRNA was suppressed on PTI days 3 and 7 in the GdCl(3)+TAA group, and the suppressed expression was confirmed in vitro by treating rat macrophage-like cells (HS-P) with 1% GdCl(3). The study showed that GdCl(3) treatment decreased the numbers of macrophages appearing in hepatic lesions and inhibited TGF-beta1 mRNA expression in macrophages. Decreased numbers of macrophages may contribute to improvement of hepatic fibrosis.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP)-induced renal lesions in rats prove a useful model for analysis of the pathogenesis of post-tubular injury-renal interstitial fibrosis. This study investigated the histopathological changes in 10-day-old neonatal rats induced by a single injection of CDDP (4.5 mg/kg). Compared with age-matched controls, on postinjection (PI) days 1 to 6, the number of apoptotic cells, demonstrable with TUNEL method, was significantly increased in CDDP-treated neonates, and there was no marked epithelial necrosis nor fibrotic lesions. Fibrotic lesions began to be developed solitarily around some nephrons with dilated ducts in the corticomedullary junction on PI day 10 and the lesions became more prominent until PI day 20. The alpha-SMA-positive myofibroblastic cells were seen exclusively in the fibrotic lesions. Additionally, the numbers of macrophages reacting with EDI (specific for exudate macrophages), ED2 (for resident macrophages), and OX6 (recognizing MHC class II antigens expressed in antigen-presenting macrophages/dendritic cells) were significantly increased around the affected renal tubules. A greater immunoreaction for TGF-beta1 was seen mostly in the renal epithelial cells of CDDP-treated neonates. These findings indicated that macrophage populations and myofibrolastic cells as well as TGF-beta1 may be responsible for the production of neonatal renal interstitial fibrosis. Compared with CDDP-injected adult rats that develop extensive interstitial fibrosis (Yamate et al., J Comp Pathol, 1995), the formation of fibrotic lesions was delayed, and the lesions were limited to the area around the affected nephrons; this could be attributable to differences in renal morphology between neonates and mature kidney of adult rats.

Abstract
The production and partial characterization of a monoclonal antibody, the IgG1 IH1, which recognizes an antigen distributed in canine monocytes/macrophages, is reported here. The distribution and apparent molecular weight of the antigen recognized by the IH1 MAb was determined in peripheral blood leukocytes, peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages and tissue sections of spleen, liver and skin, using Western blotting, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. The IH1 MAb-recognized antigen was detected in Western blotting under non-reducing conditions spread out as a large band covering the position corresponding to the migration of molecules with molecular weights from 55 to 73 kDa. The IH1 MAb labeled blood monocytes, tissue macrophages in lymph nodes, and in the mantle zone of the spleen, and Kupffer cells in the liver. It did not react with human cells. In flow cytometric analysis, the IH1 MAb reacted with a subpopulation of monocytes. The MAb described herein may become a valuable tool for diagnosis and research on canine diseases.

Abstract
Macrophages play an important role in renal interstitial fibrosis via production of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha); these fibrogenic factors mediate induction of myofibroblastic cells capable of producing extracellular matrices. We investigated the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a macrophage activator, on the appearance of macrophage populations and subsequent fibrogenesis in cisplatin (CDDP)-induced rat renal lesions. In keeping with the progression of interstitial fibrosis, alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA)-immunopositive myofibroblastic cell number began to increase on day 4 and continued gradually until day 16 after CDDP injection. Cells immunoreactive for ED1 (for exudate macrophages), ED2 (for resident macrophages) and ED3 (for activated resident macrophages) showed the highest number on day 4 or day 7, and thereafter, the numbers were gradually decreased up to day 16. On the other hand, the number of cells immunoreactive for OX6 (rat MHC class II-recognizing antibody) was increased on day 7 and remained elevated up to day 16. LPS was injected on day 7 after CDDP injection when the greatest number of ED1-positive macrophages were present. In CDDP/LPS-injected rats, the numbers of macrophages reacting to ED1, ED2, ED3, and OX6 were higher than those in CDDP-injected rats during the observation period between days 7 and 16; ED3- and OX6-positive cells were more prominently increased than ED1- and ED2-postive cells. By RT-PCR analysis, the expression of TGF-beta1 and TNF-alpha mRNAs in CDDP/LPS-injected rats on day 7 was markedly increased in contrast to those in CDDP-injected rats. These findings indicate that LPS treatment enhanced the macrophage expression of fibrogenic factors. However, there was no marked difference in the fibrogenesis between CDDP/LPS- and CDDP-injected rats. These findings suggest that the macrophage populations appearing in CDDP-induced rat renal lesions should be investigated further, to address the complicated pathogenesis of renal interstitial fibrosis.

Abstract
A panel of anti-canine leukocyte monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) was produced by immunizing BALB/c mice with canine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), either resting or stimulated with concanavalin A (ConA). Three out of 28 clones-IH1, AB6, and HG6-screened by ELISA and producing antibody with the highest specificity for canine cell immunostaining, were subjected to three subsequent subcloning steps by limiting dilution, and selected for further characterization. These MAbs belonged to IgG1 (HG6 and IH1) and IgG2a (AB6) isotypes. The distribution of cell populations expressing the antigen recognized by the antibodies was identified by indirect immunoflorescence on canine PBMC and on tissue sections of lymph node, spleen, liver and skin. The possible crossreactivity with human PBMC was also examined in immunocytochemistry. One of the antibodies specifically recognized macrophages. The MAbs presented here can be foreseen as possible valuable diagnostic and research tools to study immune functions in dogs.

Abstract
Macrophages play a central role in the immune system, but few markers are available for their detection in cetaceans. The purpose of the present study, therefore, was to examine the cross-reactivity for two cetacean species (short-finned pilot whale and Risso's dolphin) of four anti-human antibodies (SRA-E5, AM-3K, EBM11 and anti-human lysozyme). The distribution of SRA-E5- and AM-3K-positive cells was similar, both antibodies labelling (1) many resident macrophages in the spleen, lymph nodes, liver, lung, kidney, intestine and dermis, and (2) exudate macrophages in the hepatic interlobular septa. Anti-human lysozyme antibody also labelled both resident and exudate macrophages. However, double immunohistochemistry showed that the majority of AM-3K-positive cells in the spleen and liver were also labelled by SRA-E5; on the other hand, anti-human lysozyme-positive cells did not always correspond with AM-3K-positive cells. Cetacean tissues contained no EBM11-positive cells. The study demonstrated the potential values of SRA-E5, AM-3K and anti-human lysozyme antibody for cetacean macrophage studies.

Abstract
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is the feline analog of human immunodeficiency virus and a small animal model of human acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). We sought to identify early in vivo target cells in cats infected with clade B or C FIV. In tissues, however, neither mouse monoclonal nor rabbit polyclonal antibodies suitably detected FIV because of either insensitivity or lack of specificity. We therefore developed an immunohistochemical protocol using high-antibody-titer serum from cats chronically infected with FIV(Petaluma). Native species anti-FIV antibodies were labeled with biotinylated protein A before placement on tissues, and downstream signal was tyramide-amplified. This method revealed many productively infected cells in bone marrow, lymph node, thymus, mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue, and spleen, but few such cells in liver and none in kidney or brain. Concurrent labeling for virus and cell phenotype revealed that antigen-bearing populations were primarily T lymphocytes but included macrophages and dendritic cells. Our results demonstrate that FIV: 1) expands rapidly in T cells, 2) targets long-lived reservoir populations, and 3) is replicatively quiescent in brain at 3 weeks after infection. Use of native species antibodies for immunohistochemical detection of infectious antigens has application to other settings in which xenotypic (eg, mouse and rabbit) antibody sources are inadequate or unavailable.

Abstract
To shed some light on the mechanisms behind renal fibrogenesis, the present study immunohistochemically investigated the participation of different macrophage populations and myofibroblastic cells in rat renal interstitial fibrosis developed chronically after repeated injection of cisplatin (2 mg/kg body weight, once weekly for 7 weeks). During the 19-week recovery period after the final injection, fibrotic lesions progressively developed in the corticomedullary junction, with the greatest level at post-final injection (FPI) week 5, and then the lesions were gradually repaired by PFI week 19, indicative of a healing process. In conformity with the development of fibrotic lesions, the number of myofibroblastic cells reacting with an anti-alpha-smooth muscle actin antibody was increased, with a peak at PFI week 3, and collagens (types I, III, and IV), fibronection, and laminin were excessively accumulated in these areas. Interstitial cells forming the fibrotic lesions showed mitotic activity at the early stages, whereas they disappeared by apoptosis in the healing process. A large number of cells reacting with an antibody of ED1 (for exudate macrophages), ED2 (for resident macrophages), or OX6 (for major histocompatibility complex class II-presenting macrophages and interstitial dendritic cells) had already appeared at PF1 week 1, and then their numbers increased, with a peak at PFI weeks 7, 3, and 9 in ED1-, ED2-, and OX6-positive cells, respectively. Thereafter, the number of ED1- and ED2-positive cells decreased, whereas the number of OX6-positive cells persisted at a high level until PFI week 19. In the healing process, clusters of lymphocytes were present, the development of which might have been related to OX6-positive cells. The present study demonstrated that chronically developing rat renal interstitial fibrosis might be produced by the complicated mechanisms evoked by interactions between different macrophage populations and myofibroblastic cells, because macrophages show heterogeneous functions depending on microenvironmental factors.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major modulator of macrophage functions. To characterize a newly established rat histiocytic sarcoma-derived cell line (HS-P), immunophenotypic changes and cellular growth responses of HS-P cells exposed to LPS were investigated and compared with those of MT-9 cells isolated from a rat malignant fibrous histiocytoma. MT-9 cells have somewhat histiocytic features, because occasional cells react to rat macrophage-specific antibodies. Addition of LPS to cultured HS-P cells increased the numbers of cells immunopositive to ED1 (rat macrophage-specific antibody) and ED2 (rat histiocyte-specific antibody) and stimulated the phagocytosis of latex beads, whereas LPS-treated MT-9 cells did not show such immunophenotypic changes. LPS-treated HS-P cells showed enhanced immunolabelling of alpha-smooth muscle actin, suggesting a possible modulation of macrophages towards myofibroblastic cells. To evaluate cellular growth after the addition of LPS or fetal bovine serum, DNA synthesis was examined by measuring tritiated thymidine incorporation, and the mRNA expression of c- jun and c- myc (immediate early genes in the cell cycle) was examined by Northern blot analysis. In HS-P cells, the addition of serum greatly increased DNA synthesis and induced high expression of c- jun and c- myc; in contrast, LPS markedly depressed DNA synthesis and reduced the expression of c- jun and c- myc. HS-P cells were more sensitive than MT-9 cells to the growth-promoting effect of serum and the growth-inhibiting effect of LPS. The study demonstrated that HS-P cells are highly LPS-responsive, indicating that they would be useful for studies of macrophage functions.

Abstract
With future exploration of macrophage properties in mind, we established a novel cell line (HS-P) from a transplantable histiocytic sarcoma, derived originally from a tumour in an aged F344 rat. HS-P was subjected to 70 serial passages, in which the mean doubling time was 15.7 h. The cells, which were round, oval or polygonal in shape, were arranged in a compact sheet. They reacted to varying degrees for lysosomal enzymes (acid phosphatase and non-specific esterase) and with the following antibodies: ED1/ED2 (rat macrophage/histiocyte-specific), OX6 (rat MHC class II-specific), lysozyme antibody and alpha1-antichymotrypsin antibody. Electron microscopically, HS-P cells showed lysosomes and prominent cell projections. These findings indicated that the cultured cells were macrophage-like. Syngeneic rats inoculated subcutaneously or intraperitoneally with HS-P cells invariably developed sarcomatous tumours consisting of monomorphic mononuclear cells, which exhibited cytochemical properties similar to those of cultured HS-P cells. Bioassay and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction methods revealed that tumour necrosis factor-alpha increased on addition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), indicating that HS-P cells remained LPS-responsive. HS-P cells may prove to be a useful tool for in-vitro studies of macrophage function.

Abstract
Some peptide growth factors produced by macrophages play a role in fibrosis following tissue injury, through the induction of myofibroblasts. In the present study, the appearance of macrophages and myofibroblast development in hepatic and renal fibrosis was determined by immunohistochemical analysis of tissue from 15 dogs. The hepatic and renal fibrosis was classified as grade I, II or III, depending on the extent (percentage) of fibrotic areas per unit area measured by morphometry with Azan-stained sections. The presence of alpha-smooth muscle actin-immunolabelled myofibroblasts was directly related to advancing grade of both hepatic and renal fibrosis. Lysozyme-immunolabelled macrophages also increased in number with increasing grade of hepatic and renal fibrosis. These findings indicate that myofibroblasts and lysozyme-positive macrophages may contribute to progressive fibrosis in canine liver and kidney disease. Interestingly, the number of macrophages recognized by AM-3K, a newly generated monoclonal antibody capable of labelling exuded macrophages and resident tissue macrophages in dogs, fell significantly in grades II and III of renal fibrosis. By contrast, in hepatic fibrosis there were no marked differences in the number of AM-3K-positive macrophages between grades. These findings suggest that there are functional differences between lysozyme- and AM-3K-positive macrophages.
