METTL3/RBM15 augments the stability of Kdm6b mRNA and promotes STAT1-mediated macrophage activation and atherosclerosis [PDF]

Experimental and Molecular Medicine
Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have shown that N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in macrophages is associated with atherosclerosis progression.

Damage-Induced Calcium Signaling and Reactive Oxygen Species Mediate Macrophage Activation in Zebrafish

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Immediately after a wound, macrophages are activated and change their phenotypes in reaction to danger signals released from the damaged tissues. The cues that contribute to macrophage activation after wounding in vivo are still poorly understood ...

Solanum nigrum induces macrophage activation through TLR4-mediated activation of JNK and macrophage autophagy through TLR4-mediated activation of p38 and JNK

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.

ARRB1 suppresses the activation of hepatic macrophages via modulating endoplasmic reticulum stress in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute liver injury

Cell Death Discovery, 2021
Acute liver injury (ALI) caused by multiple inflammatory responses is a monocyte-/macrophage-mediated liver injury that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Liver macrophage activation is a vital event that triggers ALI.

In Vitro Screening Method for Characterization of Macrophage Activation Responses

Methods and Protocols, 2022
Macrophage activation refers to the enhanced functionality of macrophages in response to endogenous or exogenous stimuli. Due to the existence of limitless stimuli and a multitude of receptors on macrophage surfaces, the nature of activation (or acquired

Neuropathology in COVID-19 autopsies is defined by microglial activation and lesions of the white matter with emphasis in cerebellar and brain stem areas

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
IntroductionThis study aimed to investigate microglial and macrophage activation in 17 patients who died in the context of a COVID-19 infection in 2020 and 2021.MethodsThrough immunohistochemical analysis, the lysosomal marker CD68 was used to detect ...

Nicotinamide Mononucleotide Alleviates LPS-Induced Inflammation and Oxidative Stress via Decreasing COX-2 Expression in Macrophages

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Macrophage activation is an important process in controlling infection, but persistent macrophage activation leads to chronic inflammation and diseases, such as tumor progression, insulin resistance and atherosclerosis.

A Review on Macrophage Activation Syndrome

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2019
MAS, which is currently grouped under secondary or acquired haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH), is a rare and fatal disorder that results from excess activation of T-cells and macrophages.

MAP kinase phosphatase 2 regulates macrophage-adipocyte interaction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Inflammation is critical for the development of obesity-associated metabolic disorders. This study aims to investigate the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 2 (MKP-2) in inflammation during macrophage-adipocyte interaction.White ...
