Macrophages play essential roles in tissue homeostasis, defense, and repair. Their functions are highly tissue-specific, and when damage and inflammation stimulate repopulation by circulating monocytes, the incoming monocytes rapidly acquire the same, tissue-specific functions as the previous, resident macrophages. Several environmental factors are thought to guide the functional differentiation of recruited monocytes, including metabolic pressures imposed by the fuel sources available in each tissue. Here we discuss whether such a model of metabolic determinism can be applied to macrophage differentiation across barrier sites, from the lung to the skin. We suggest an alternative model, in which metabolic phenotype is a consequence of macrophage longevity rather than an early driver of tissue-specific adaption.

We suggest an alternative model, in which metabolic phenotype is a consequence of macrophage longevity rather than an early driver of tissue-specific adaption. Macrophages are cells with multiple functions: they are phagocytes, engulfing and destroying microbial pathogens, clearing immune debris and apoptotic bodies1Wynn T.A. Chawla A. Pollard J.W.

They are positioned at barrier sites throughout the body, offering first-line defense against infection. They also provide highly specialized, site-specific functions, from the mopping up of excess surfactant in the alveoli of the lungs, to iron metabolism in the spleen and synaptic pruning in the brain3Park M.D. Silvin A.

Tissue-specific macrophages are seeded by embryonic progenitors before birth, providing differentiated cells that are long-lived, capable of self-renewal, and educated by the local environment. Depending on the tissue anatomy, these resident macrophages can be replaced gradually by monocyte-derived cells that differentiate in the steady state to maintain local populations. More extreme replacement occurs in inflammation, infection, and/or immune pathology, which significantly deplete resident macrophage populations leading to an influx of monocyte-derived replacements4Ginhoux F.

Data suggest that the incoming cells acquire the phenotype and function of the resident cells that they replace once the inflammation has resolved, becoming almost (but not entirely) transcriptionally indistinguishable from the original tissue-dwelling cells6Scott C.L. et al.Bone marrow-derived monocytes give rise to self-renewing and fully differentiated Kupffer cells.Nat.

This differentiation process suggests that a program of tissue-specific education instructs the incoming cells, determining their final function. A current hypothesis is that these tissue-specific signals are largely metabolic, with access to specific energy sources determining the possible routes of differentiation11Caputa G. Castoldi A.
