N2 - Kidney tubular epithelial cell (TEC) death may be dependent on the number and activation state of macrophages (Mφ) during inflammation. Our prior studies indicate that activated Mφ release soluble mediators that incite TEC death, and reducing intrarenal Mφ during kidney disease diminishes TEC apoptosis. CSF-1 is required for Mφ proliferation and survival. We hypothesized that in the absence of CSF-1, Mφ-mediated TEC apoptosis would be prevented during renal inflammation. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated renal inflammation during unilateral ureter obstruction in CSF-1-deficient (Csf1op/Csf1op) mice. We detected fewer Mφ and T cells and less apoptotic TEC in the obstructed kidneys of Csf1op/Csf1op mice compared with wild-type (WT) mice. The decrease in intrarenal Mφ resulted from diminished recruitment and proliferation, not enhanced apoptosis. CSF-1 enhanced Mφ activation. There were far fewer activated (CD69, CD23, Ia, surface expression) Mφ in obstructed CSF-1-deficient compared with WT obstructed kidneys. Similarly, bone marrow Mφ preincubated with anti-CSF-1 receptor Ab or anti-CSF-1 neutralizing Ab were resistant to LPS- and IFN-γ-induced activation. We detected fewer apoptotic-inducing molecules (reactive oxygen species, TNF-α, inducible NO synthase) in 1) Mφ propagated from obstructed Csf1op/Csf1op compared with WT kidneys, and 2) WT bone marrow Mφ blocked with anti-CSF-1 receptor or anti-CSF-1 Ab compared with the isotype control. Furthermore, blocking CSF-1 or the CSF-1 receptor induced less TEC apoptosis than the isotype control. We suggest that during renal inflammation, CSF-1 mediates Mφ recruitment, proliferation, activation, and, in turn, TEC apoptosis.
