Platelets promote macrophage polarization toward pro-inflammatory phenotype and increase survival of septic mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We investigated the contribution of human platelets to macrophage effector properties in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as well as the beneficial effects and time frame for platelet transfusion in septic animals.

Biomechanical Contributions to Macrophage Activation in the Tumor Microenvironment

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
Alterations in extracellular matrix composition and organization are known to promote tumor growth and metastatic progression in breast cancer through interactions with tumor cells as well as stromal cell populations.

Coxiella burnetii Blocks Intracellular Interleukin-17 Signaling in Macrophages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiological agent of Q fever. Successful host cell infection requires the Coxiella type IVB secretion system (T4BSS), which translocates bacterial effector proteins across the vacuole ...

Macrophage Activation-Like Syndrome: A Distinct Entity Leading to Early Death in Sepsis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Hemophagocytic lymphohistocytosis (HLH) is characterized by fulminant cytokine storm leading to multiple organ dysfunction and high mortality. HLH is classified into familial (fHLH) and into secondary (sHLH).

Activation of GPER1 in macrophages ameliorates UUO-induced renal fibrosis

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Numerous studies have proven the critical role of macrophages in the renal fibrosis process. Notably, G Protein-coupled Estrogen Receptor 1 (GPER1), a novel estrogen receptor, has been shown to play a ubiquitous role in regulating macrophage activities ...

Hepatocyte mitochondrial DNA mediates macrophage immune response in liver injury induced by trichloroethylene

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
We have previously shown that excessive activation of macrophage proinflammatory activity plays a key role in TCE-induced immune liver injury, but the mechanism of polarization is unclear. Recent studies have shown that TLR9 activation plays an important

Alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors signaling boosts cell-cell interactions in macrophages effecting anti-inflammatory and organ protection

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) via vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve acute kidney injury in rodent models.
