| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Macrophages are innate immune cells involved in homeostasis, the immune response, inflammation, regeneration, and the resolution of inflammation in tissues. Macrophage polarization states are mainly divided into two types, the pro-inflammatory or classically activated M1 phenotype and the anti-inflammatory or alternatively activated M2 phenotype. In this study, we investigated the effect of HGF on macrophage phenotype using mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages. HGF specific receptor, c-Met, was expressed in M1 macrophages polarized by treatment with interferon-r and LPS. Treatment with HGF induced expression of Arg-1 mRNA and secretion of IL-10 and TGF-beta, and decreased iNOS expression through PI3K pathway. Additionally, HGF treatment sifted the M1 macrophage intracellular metabolism toward an M2 phenotype, especially with respect to fatty acid metabolism.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
傷害組織の修復過程において、組織修復マクロファージが重要な役割を果たしている。HGFは肝再生を強力に促進する増殖因子であるが、種々の組織の傷害組織の再生・修復における重要な液性因子である。本研究では、組織傷害時に浸潤した炎症性（M1）マクロファージが、組織の修復過程において抗炎症性（M2）マクロファージに形質転換にHGFが関与していることを明らかにした。HGFが、細胞増殖や細胞遊走といった上皮系細胞への作用に加えて、組織修復の微笑環境で重要な役割を果たしているマクロファージに対しても炎症から抗炎症、組織修復に関わる形質転換を誘導することが明らかになり興味深い。
