Cell surface markers CD14+, CD16+, CD206+, CD163+, MERTK+, CD40+, CCR2 CD14+, CD16+, CD206, CD163+, MERTK+, CCR2+, Low CD206, Low MERTK, normal CD163 CD14+, CD16+, CD206+, CD163+, MERTK+, CD40+, CCR2
Gene expression in absence of LPS TCA cycle, gluconeogenesis (PDK2, PDK3, PDK4) genes; VSIG4 (CRIg), CD163, MARCO, MSRI (CD204), GATA-6 IL6R, LGALS3, IRAK3, BACH1, GATA-6
Gene expression response to LPS Higher expression of interferon signaling, IL-12 signaling, IL-23 mediated signaling (IFNB1, OAS1, STAT1); Lower gene expression of tolerance mediators (IRAK3, TNF-AIP3) IL-1 signaling, TRAIL signaling, TNF receptor signaling (IL1A, IRAK2, NFKB1, NFKB2)
TNF response to escalating doses of LPS 10–100 ng/mL 5–10 ng/mL 3–6 ng/mL

LPM, large peritoneal macrophages; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; SBP, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
