At the polar ends of the spectrum of phenotypes are the socalled M1-like inflammatory cells and M2-like anti-inflammatory cells that are stimulatedin vitro by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interferon- (IFN) and interleukin-4 (IL-4)respectively. In macrophages, the evidence indicates that these phenotypes have differentmetabolic profiles with M1-like cells switching to glycolysis as their main source of ATPand M2-like cells utilizing oxidative phosphorylation. There is a paucity of informationregarding the metabolic signatures in inflammatory and anti-inflammatory microglialphenotypes. Here, we polarized primary microglia with IFN and show that thecharacteristic increases in nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF) were accompanied by increased glycolysis and an increase in the expression of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase (PFKFB)3, an enzyme that plays asignificant role in driving glycolysis. These changes were associated with increasedexpression of ferritin and retention of iron in microglia. In contrast with the IFN-inducedchanges IL-4, which predictably increased mRNA expression of mannose receptor C, type1 (MRC-1) and arginase 1 (Arg1), also increased oxygen consumption in microglia. Thedata indicate distinct metabolic signatures of inflammatory and anti-inflammatorymicroglia that are also distinguishable by their iron handling profiles.
