Alternatively activated macrophages (aaM
) display molecular and biological characteristics that differ from those of classically activated macrophages (caM
). Recently, we described an experimental model of murine trypanosomosis in which the early stage of infection of mice with a Trypanosoma brucei brucei variant is characterized by the development of caM
, whereas in the late and chronic stages of infection, aaM
develop. In the present study, we used suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) to identify genes that are expressed differentially in aaM
versus caM
elicited during infection with this T. b. brucei variant. We show that FIZZ1 and Ym1 are induced strongly in in vivo- and in vitro-elicited aaM
as compared with caM
. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the in vivo induction of FIZZ1 and Ym1 in macrophages depends on IL-4 and that in vitro, IFN-
antagonizes the effect of IL-4 on the expression of FIZZ1 and Ym1. Collectively, these results open perspectives for new insights into the functional properties of aaM
and establish FIZZ1 and Ym1 as markers for aaM
.
