The mononuclear phagocyte system regulates tissue homeostasis as well as all phases of
tissue injury and repair. To do so changing tissue environments alter the phenotype of tissue
macrophages to assure their support for sustaining and amplifying their respective
surrounding environment. Interferon-regulatory factors are intracellular signaling elements
that determine the maturation and gene transcription of leukocytes. Here we discuss how
several among the 9 interferon-regulatory factors contribute to macrophage polarization.
