Transcriptional adaptation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis within macrophages: Insights into the phagosomal environment [PDF]

, 2003
Little is known about the biochemical environment in phagosomes harboring an infectious agent. To assess the state of this organelle we captured the transcriptional responses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in macrophages from wild-type and nitric ...

Manipulation of the endocytic pathway and phagocyte functions by Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipoarabinomannan

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015
Lipoarabinomannan is a major immunomodulatory lipoglycan found in the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and related human pathogens. It reproduces several salient properties of M.

Chlamydia trachomatis exploits sphingolipid metabolic pathways during infection of phagocytes

mBio
Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular pathogens that utilize host cell metabolites for catabolic and anabolic processes. The bacteria replicate in epithelial cells from which they take up sphingolipids (SL) and incorporate them into the chlamydial ...

Phagocytes and demonstration of Phagocytic activity

, 2022
In Greek, “Phagein” is for “to eat” or “devour”, and “-cyte” suffix in biology denoting “cell”. Phagocytes are cells that protect the body by ingesting harmful foreign particles, bacteria and dead or dying cells. They are essential for fighting infections and for subsequent immunity. One litre of human blood contains about six billion phagocytes.

Formation of Multinucleated Giant Cells after Experimental Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Characteristics and Role of Complement C3

Biomedicines
Hematoma clearance is critical for mitigating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced brain injury. Multinucleated giant cells (MGCs), a type of phagocyte, and the complement system may play a pivotal role in hematoma resolution, but whether the ...

Defining Mononuclear Phagocyte Subset Homology Across Several Distant Warm-Blooded Vertebrates Through Comparative Transcriptomics

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
Mononuclear phagocytes are organized in a complex system of ontogenetically and functionally distinct subsets, that has been best described in mouse and to some extent in human.

The Origins and Functions of Tissue-Resident Macrophages in Kidney Development

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
The adult kidney hosts tissue-resident macrophages that can cause, prevent, and/or repair renal damage. Most of these macrophages derive from embryonic progenitors that colonize the kidney during its development and proliferate in situ throughout ...
