摘要： Numerous viruses that propagate through the respiratory tract may be initially engulfed by macrophages (M phi s) within the alveoli, where they complete their first replication cycle and subsequently infect the adjacent epithelial cells. This process can lead to significant pathological damage to tissues and organs, leading to various diseases. As essential components in host antiviral immune systems, M phi s can be polarized into pro-inflammatory M1 M phi s or anti-inflammatory M2 M phi s, a process involving multiple signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms that yield diverse phenotypic and functional features in response to various stimuli. In general, when infected by a virus, M1 macrophages secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines to play an antiviral role, while M2 macrophages play an anti-inflammatory role to promote the replication of the virus. However, recent studies have shown that some viruses may exhibit the opposite trend. Viruses have evolved various strategies to disrupt M phi polarization for efficient replication and transmission. Notably, various factors, such as mechanical softness, the altered pH value of the endolysosomal system, and the homeostasis between M1/M2 M phi s populations, contribute to crucial events in the viral replication cycle. Here, we summarize the regulation of M phi polarization, virus-induced alterations in M phi polarization, and the antiviral mechanisms associated with these changes. Collectively, this review provides insights into recent advances regarding M phi polarization in host antiviral immune responses, which will contribute to the development of precise prevention strategies as well as management approaches to disease incidence and transmission.
