Food and Agricultural Immunology, 2022 In this study, we investigated the effect of Solanum nigrum aerial parts (SNAP) on macrophage activation and macrophage autophagy in RAW264.7 cells. SNAP increased the production of immunostimulatory factors and phagocytosis in RAW264.7 cells.

Proteinase-activated receptor-2 modulates human macrophage differentiation andeffector function [PDF]
, 2013 Proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) was shown to influence immune regulation; however, its role in human macrophage subset development and function has not been addressed.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as a Potential Platform for Vaccine Development against Tuberculosis
Pharmaceutics, 2020 The increasing emergence of new strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) highly resistant to antibiotics constitute a public health issue, since tuberculosis still constitutes the primary cause of death in the world due to bacterial infection. Mtb has

Oxidized LDL induces alternative macrophage phenotype through activation of CD36 and PAFR [PDF]
, 2013 OxLDL is recognized by macrophage scavenger receptors, including CD36; we have recently found that Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor (PAFR) is also involved.

The elegance of a macrophage [PDF]
Cellular & Molecular Immunology, 2017 In the latest issue of Nature Immunology, Piccolo et al.1 elegantly explored the effect of coexisting interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) antagonistic signals on macrophage transcriptional and epigenetic profiles and, interestingly, identified a plastic cross-talk as opposed to mutually exclusive programs between M1 and M2 polarized ...

Ironing Out the Details: How Iron Orchestrates Macrophage Polarization
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Iron fine-tunes innate immune responses, including macrophage inflammation. In this review, we summarize the current understanding about the iron in dictating macrophage polarization.

Polarization of macrophages toward M2 phenotype is favored by reduction in iPLA2β (group VIA phospholipase A2)* [PDF]
, 2016 Macrophages are important in innate and adaptive immunity. Macrophage participation in inflammation or tissue repair is directed by various extracellular signals and mediated by multiple intracellular pathways.

Macrophage autophagy in macrophage polarization, chronic inflammation and organ fibrosis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 As the essential regulators of organ fibrosis, macrophages undergo marked phenotypic and functional changes after organ injury. These changes in macrophage phenotype and function can result in maladaptive repair, causing chronic inflammation and the ...

Investigating the suitability of high content image analysis as a tool to assess the reversibility of foamy alveolar macrophage phenotypes in vitro. [PDF]
, 2020 Many potential inhaled medicines fail during development due to the induction of a highly vacuolated or “foamy” alveolar macrophage phenotype response in pre-clinical studies.

The alveolar macrophage. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1971 The pulmonary macrophagic system is critical to the defense of the lung, keeping the alveoli clean and sterile and responding on demand with an adaptive outpouring of new cells into the air sacs. Under basal conditions alveolar macrophages, in common with other mononuclear phagocytes, are derived from the bone marrow.
