Macrophages are heterogeneous with divergent M1/M2 polarization phenotypes in response to various stimulations during the inflammatory process. We aimed to investigate the pattern of macrophage polarization and its association with severity and exacerbation in asthmatic children.Patients and Methods: Normal and asthmatic children aged 4– 18 years were enrolled for 12 months. Children with asthma were further subgrouped according to their severity and the requirement for hospitalization during exacerbations. Clinical data were obtained from medical records. Peripheral blood samples were collected to analyze macrophage polarization, including M1, M2, and subsets, by flow cytometry.Results: Fifty-one asthmatic cases and 27 normal controls were included in this study. The level of PM-2K+CD14+ but not PM-2K+CD14− was decreased in asthmatic children. The levels of M2a (CCR7−CXCR1+), M2b (CCR7−CD86+), and M2c (CCR7−CCR2+) subsets, but not M1 (CCR7+CD86+), were increased in asthmatic children. The levels of M1 were decreased, but the levels of M2c were increased, in children with moderate asthma compared to those with mild asthma. The levels of PM-2K+CD14+ cells and M1 subsets were decreased, but the M2c subset cells were increased in asthmatic children requiring hospitalization during exacerbations.Conclusion: Macrophage polarization may be involved in the pathogenesis of childhood asthma and is a potential biomarker of childhood asthma disease severity.Keywords: M2 macrophage polarization, asthma severity, asthma exacerbation, childhood asthma hospitalizationKuo CHTsai MLLi CHHsiao HPChao MCLee MSLin YCHung CHDove Medical Pressarticlem2 macrophage polarizationasthma severityasthma exacerbationchildhood asthma hospitalizationPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
