The Impact of Phase-Specific Macrophage Depletion on Intestinal Anastomotic Healing
Intestinal anastomotic healing (AH) is critical in colorectal surgery, since disruptive AH leads to anastomotic leakage, a feared postoperative complication. Macrophages are innate immune cells and are instrumental in orchestrating intestinal wound healing, displaying a functional dichotomy as effec...

description | Intestinal anastomotic healing (AH) is critical in colorectal surgery, since disruptive AH leads to anastomotic leakage, a feared postoperative complication. Macrophages are innate immune cells and are instrumental in orchestrating intestinal wound healing, displaying a functional dichotomy as effectors of both tissue injury and repair. The aim of this study was to investigate the phase-specific function and plasticity of macrophages during intestinal AH. Transgenic CD11b diphtheria toxin receptor (CD11b-DTR) mice were used to deplete intestinal macrophages in a temporally controlled manner. Distal colonic end-to-end anastomoses were created in CD11b-DTR, and wild-type mice and macrophages were selectively depleted during either the inflammatory (day 0–3), proliferative (day 4–10), or reparative (day 11–20) phase of intestinal AH, respectively. For each time point, histological and functional analysis as well as gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of RNA-sequencing data were performed. Macrophage depletion during the inflammatory phase significantly reduced the associated inflammatory state without compromising microscopic AH. When intestinal macrophages were depleted during the proliferative phase, AH was improved, despite significantly reduced perianastomotic neoangiogenesis. Lastly, macrophages were depleted during the reparative phase and GSEA revealed macrophage-dependent pathways involved in collagen remodeling, cell proliferation, and extracellular matrix composition. However, AH remained comparable at this late timepoint. These results demonstrate that during intestinal AH, macrophages elicit phase-specific effects, and that therapeutic interventions must critically balance their dual and timely defined role. |
