Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in senescence-accelerated mice (SAMP1/TA-1), but not in senescence-resistant control mice (SAMR1). SAMP1/TA-1 treated with LPS exhibited functional impairment of the hematopoietic microenvironment, which disrupted the dynamics of hematopoiesis. Macrophages are a major component of the bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic microenvironment, which regulates hematopoiesis. Qualitative and quantitative changes in activated macrophages in LPS-treated SAMP1/TA-1 are thought to contribute to the functional deterioration of the hematopoietic microenvironment. Thus, we examined the polarization of pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages, and the dynamics of macrophage production in the BM of SAMP1/TA-1 and SAMR1 after LPS treatment. After LPS treatment, the proportions of M1 and M2 macrophages and the numbers of macrophage progenitor (CFU-M) cells increased in both SAMP1/TA-1 and SAMR1. However, compared to the SAMR1, the increase in the M1 macrophage proportion was prolonged, and the increase in the M2 macrophage proportion was delayed. The increase in the number of CFU-M cells was prolonged in SAMP1/TA-1 after LPS treatment. In addition, the levels of transcripts encoding an M1 macrophage-inducing cytokine (interferon-γ) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor were markedly increased, and the increases in the levels of transcripts encoding M2 macrophage-inducing cytokines (interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, and IL-13) were delayed in SAMP1/TA-1 when compared to SAMR1. Our results suggest that LPS treatment led to the severely imbalanced polarization of activated M1/M2 macrophages accompanied by a prolonged increase in macrophage production in the BM of SAMP1/TA-1, which led to the impairment of the hematopoietic microenvironment, and disrupted the dynamics of hematopoiesis.
