Figure 2.
M1 and M2 polarization of synovial macrophages. M1 macrophages can be induced by Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and secret pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1, R-spondin-2 (Rspo2), matrix metalloproteinase-13(MMP13), TNF-α. M2 macrophages can be induced by IL-4 and IL-10 and secret anti-inflammatory cytokines like IL-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist, suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1).
