SerpinB2 (plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2) has been called the “undecided serpin” with no clear consensus on its physiological role, although it is well described as an inhibitor of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA). In macrophages, pro-inflammatory stimuli usually induce SerpinB2; however, expression is constitutive in Gata6+ large peritoneal macrophages (LPM). Interrogation of expression data from human macrophages treated with a range of stimuli using a new bioinformatics tool, CEMiTool, suggested that SerpinB2 is most tightly co- and counter-regulated with genes associated with cell movement. Using LPM from SerpinB2−/− and SerpinB2R380A (active site mutant) mice, we show that migration on Matrigel was faster than for their wild-type controls. Confocal microscopy illustrated that SerpinB2 and F-actin staining overlapped in focal adhesions and lamellipodia. Genes associated with migration and extracellular matrix interactions were also identified by RNA-Seq analysis of migrating RPM from wild-type and SerpinB2R380A mice. Subsequent gene set enrichment analyses (GSEA) suggested SerpinB2 counter-regulates many Gata6-regulated genes associated with migration. These data argue that the role of SerpinB2 in macrophages is inhibition of uPA-mediated plasmin generation during cell migration. GSEA also suggested that SerpinB2 expression (likely via ensuing modulation of uPA-receptor/integrin signaling) promotes the adoption of a resolution phase signature.
