Delayed gastric emptying in diabetic mice and humans is associated with changes in macrophage phenotype and loss of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the gastric muscle layers. In diabetic mice, classically activated M1 macrophages are associated with delayed gastric emptying whereas alternatively activated M2 macrophages are associated with normal gastric emptying. This study aimed to determine if secreted factors from M1 macrophages could injure mouse ICC in primary culture. Cultures of gastric ICC were treated with conditioned medium (CM) from activated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and the effect of CM was quantified by counting ICC per high-powered field. BMDMs were activated to a M1 or M2 phenotype confirmed by qRT-PCR. CM from M1 macrophages reduced ICC numbers by 41.1%, while M2-CM had no effect as compared to unconditioned, control media. Immunoblot analysis of 40 chemokines/cytokines found 12 were significantly increased in M1-CM, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). ELISA detected 0.697 ± 0.03 ng mL−1 TNFα in M1-CM. Recombinant mouse TNFα reduced Kit expression and ICC numbers in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 = 0.817 ng mL−1). Blocking M1-CM TNFα with a neutralizing antibody preserved ICC numbers. The caspase inhibitor Z-VAD.fmk partly preserved ICC numbers (cells/field; 6.63±1.04, 9.82±1.80 w/Z-VAD.fmk, n=6, P < 0.05). This work demonstrates that TNFα secreted from M1 macrophages can result in Kit loss and directly injure ICC in vitro partly through caspase-dependent apoptosis and may play an important role in ICC depletion in diabetic gastroparesis. In diabetic mice, M1 macrophages are associated with delayed gastric emptying whereas M2 macrophages are associated with normal gastric emptying. TNFα, a factor present in M1 conditioned medium, reduced Kit-positive ICC numbers and TNFα neutralizing antibodies blocked the effect of M1 medium. TNFα derived from M1 macrophages injures ICC in vitro and TNFα may be important in diseases like diabetic gastroparesis.
