Only a few bone marrow-derived macrophages (BM-MF) are positive for macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (M-CSFR). Thus, a method is needed to increase the proportion of BM-MF that are positive for M-CSFR to facilitate the investigation of the effects of M-CSFR downregulation on various diseases. We used mouse primary BM-MF to evaluate the expression of M-CSFR on the cytoplasmic membrane using flow cytometry. Treatment with a reducing agent, dithiothreitol (DTT), increased the proportion of BM-MF that were positive for M-CSFR, and this increase was time dependent. We next determined whether DTT-treated BM-MF can lead to the downregulation of M-CSFR. Treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24?h. decreased the proportion of DTT-treated BM-MF that were positive for M-CSFR. These results suggest that DTT treatment increases the proportion of BM-MF that are positive for M-CSFR and that the upregulation of M-CSFR on BM-MF can be abrogated by treatment with LPS. Here, we propose a simple method to increase the number of M-CSFR-positive BM-MF using the reducing agent DTT, which could be useful in investigations of the relationship between the downregulation of M-CSFR and some diseases.•The proportion of BM-MF that expresses M-CSFR on the membrane increases by approximately twice following DTT treatment.
