    ObjectiveWound monocyte-derived macrophage plasticity controls the initiation and resolution of inflammation that is critical for proper healing, however, in diabetes mellitus, the resolution of inflammation fails to occur. In diabetic wounds, the kinetics of blood monocyte recruitment and the mechanisms that control in vivo monocyte/macrophage differentiation remain unknown.Approach And ResultsHere, we characterized the kinetics and function of Ly6CHi [Lin- (CD3-CD19-NK1.1-Ter-119-) Ly6G-CD11b+] and Ly6CLo [Lin- (CD3-CD19-NK1.1-Ter-119-) Ly6G-CD11b+] monocyte/macrophage subsets in normal and diabetic wounds. Using flow-sorted tdTomato-labeled Ly6CHi monocyte/macrophages, we show Ly6CHi cells transition to a Ly6CLo phenotype in normal wounds, whereas in diabetic wounds, there is a late, second influx of Ly6CHi cells that fail transition to Ly6CLo. The second wave of Ly6CHi cells in diabetic wounds corresponded to a spike in MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) and selective administration of anti-MCP-1 reversed the second Ly6CHi influx and improved wound healing. To examine the in vivo phenotype of wound monocyte/macrophages, RNA-seq-based transcriptome profiling was performed on flow-sorted Ly6CHi [Lin-Ly6G-CD11b+] and Ly6CLo [Lin-Ly6G-CD11b+] cells from normal and diabetic wounds. Gene transcriptome profiling of diabetic wound Ly6CHi cells demonstrated differences in proinflammatory and profibrotic genes compared with controls.ConclusionsCollectively, these data identify kinetic and functional differences in diabetic wound monocyte/macrophages and demonstrate that selective targeting of CD11b+Ly6CHi monocyte/macrophages is a viable therapeutic strategy for inflammation in diabetic wounds.© 2018 American Heart Association, Inc.
