Diesel exhaust particles induce polarization state-dependent functional and transcriptional changes in human monocyte-derived macrophages.

Abstract excerpt

Macrophage populations exist on a spectrum between the proinflammatory M1 and proresolution M2 states and have demonstrated the ability to reprogram between them after exposure to opposing polarization stimuli. Particulate matter (PM) has been repeatedly linked to worsening morbidity and mortality following respiratory infections and has been demonstrated to modify macrophage function and polarization.
