M-CSF promotes the differentiation and survival of macrophages, and preferentially induces anti-inflammatory M2, rather than proinflammatory M1 macrophages. Recently, another cytokine, IL-32, was also shown to promote macrophage differentiation. In this article, we provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, that M-CSF has both additive and inhibitory effects on the macrophage-related activities of IL-32. When added to M-CSF-derived macrophages, M-CSF and IL-32 promoted macrophage survival, which was further enhanced by their combination. However, they had different effects on HIV-1 replication; that is, it was stimulated by M-CSF and inhibited by IL-32. Interestingly, the anti-HIV-1 activity of IL-32 was counteracted by M-CSF. Such inhibitory effect of M-CSF was not observed with IL-32-induced M1-like features including high cytokine/chemokine production and strong expression of the costimulatory molecule CD80. However, IL-32-treated macrophages unexpectedly showed also M2-like features including increased phagocytic activity, and high expression of CD14 and the scavenger receptor CD163, and the expression of CD14 and CD163 was further upregulated by cotreatment with M-CSF. The findings of this study regarding the unique functional interplay between M-CSF and IL-32 increase our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the survival and M1/M2 ratio of macrophages, as well as HIV-1 replication in macrophages.

M-CSF Inhibits Anti–HIV-1 Activity of IL-32, but They Enhance M2-like Phenotypes of Macrophages
