The plasminogen receptor Plg-RKT is expressed by immune cells, including monocytes and macrophages. Among monocytes and macrophages, distinct subsets can be distinguished based on cell surface markers and pathophysiological function. We investigated expression of Plg-RKT by monocyte and macrophage subsets and whether potential differential expression might have functional consequences for cell migration. Proinflammatory CD14++CD16+ human monocytes and Ly6Chigh mouse monocytes expressed the highest levels of Plg-RKT and bound significantly more plasminogen compared with the other respective subsets. Proinflammatory human macrophages, generated by polarization with lipopolysaccharide and interferon-\u03b3, showed significantly higher expression of Plg-RKT compared with alternatively activated macrophages, polarized with interleukin-4 and interleukin-13. Directional migration of proinflammatory monocytes was plasmin dependent and was abolished by anti\u2013Plg-RKT monoclonal antibody, \u03b5-amino-caproic acid, aprotinin, and the aminoterminal fragment of urokinase-type plasminogen activator. In an in vivo peritonitis model, significantly less Ly6Chigh monocyte recruitment was observed in Plg-RKT\u2212\/\u2212 compared with Plg-RKT+\/+ mice. Immunohistochemical analysis of human carotid plaques and adipose tissue showed that proinflammatory macrophages also exhibited high levels of Plg-RKT in vivo. Our data demonstrate higher expression of Plg-RKT on proinflammatory monocyte and macrophage subsets that impacts their migratory capacity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.2018850420","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,20]],"date-time":"2019-06-20T22:35:12Z","timestamp":1561070112000},"page":"561-567","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1182\/blood.2019cm0000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Differential
