Objective To analyze effects of histone demethylase Jumonji-domaincontaining protein 3 (JMJD3) in macrophages in order to provide a new target for treatment of macrophage-related inflammatory reactions, autoimmune diseases, and organ transplantation rejection.Method The related literatures of researches on the effects of JMJD3 in the macrophages in recent years were searched and reviewed.Results The macrophages played the important roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis and host response, clearing pathogens and apoptotic cells, and promoting tissue repair and wound healing. The JMJD3 could regulate the balance of M1 and M2 types of macrophages through the different ways and had different effects on the polarization of M2 macrophages when it was stimulated by the different extracellular substances. In some immune diseases and wound repairing, the JMJD3 could not only promote the inflammatory responses, but also polarize the M2 macrophages so as to inhibit the inflammation and promote the tissue repair. Clinically, the JMJD3 expression might be different in the different diseases and its low or high expression both might be involved in the occurrence of diseases.Conclusion Histone demethylase enzyme JMJD3 is involved in macrophage polarization and expression of inflammatory genes, but there are still many problems that require further to be investigated.
