In vitro studies are crucial for our understanding of the human macrophage immune functions. However, traditional in vitro culture media poorly reflect the metabolic composition of blood, potentially affecting the outcomes of these studies. Here, we analysed the impact of a physiological medium on human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived macrophages (iPSDM) function. Macrophages cultured in a human plasma-like medium (HPLM) were more permissive to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) replication and showed decreased lipid metabolism with increased metabolic polarisation. Functionally, we discovered that HPLM-differentiated macrophages showed different metabolic organelle content and activity. Specifically, HPLM-differentiated macrophages displayed reduced lipid droplet and peroxisome content, increased lysosomal proteolytic activity, and increased mitochondrial activity and dynamics. Inhibiting or inducing lipid droplet formation revealed that lipid droplet content is a key factor influencing macrophage permissiveness to Mtb. These findings underscore the importance of using physiologically relevant media in vitro for accurately studying human macrophage function.
