Disorders in enteric bacteria recognition by intestinal macrophages (M
) are strongly correlated with the pathogenesis of chronic colitis; however the precise mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of the current study was to elucidate the roles of M in intestinal inflammation by using an IL-10-deficient (IL-10–/–) mouse colitis model. GM-CSF-induced bone marrow-derived M (GM-M) and M-CSF-induced bone marrow-derived M (M-M) were generated from bone marrow CD11b+ cells. M-M from IL-10–/– mice produced abnormally large amounts of IL-12 and IL-23 upon stimulation with heat-killed whole bacteria Ags, whereas M-M from wild-type (WT) mice produced large amounts of IL-10 but not IL-12 or IL-23. In contrast, IL-12 production by GM-M was not significantly different between WT and IL-10–/– mice. In ex vivo experiments, cytokine production ability of colonic lamina propria M (CLPM) but not splenic M from WT mice was similar to that of M-M, and CLPM but not splenic M from IL-10–/– mice also showed abnormal IL-12p70 hyperproduction upon stimulation with bacteria. Surprisingly, the abnormal IL-12p70 hyperproduction from M-M from IL-10–/– mice was improved by IL-10 supplementation during the differentiation process. These results suggest that CLPM and M-M act as anti-inflammatory M and suppress excess inflammation induced by bacteria in WT mice. In IL-10–/– mice, however, such M subsets differentiated into an abnormal phenotype under an IL-10-deficient environment, and bacteria recognition by abnormally differentiated subsets of intestinal M may lead to Th1-dominant colitis via IL-12 and IL-23 hyperproduction. Our data provide new insights into the intestinal M to gut flora relationship in the development of colitis in IL-10–/– mice.
