Hepcidin Induces M1 Macrophage Polarization in Monocytes or THP-1 Derived Macrophages
Background: Macrophage polarization plays a critical role in determining the inflammatory states. Hepcidin is a key negative regulator of iron homeostasis and functions. Although hepcidin has been shown to affect ferroportin expression in macrophages, whether it affects macrophage polarization is still largely unknown. Objective: To address whether hepcidin ind...
متن کاملEffects of in vitro HIV-1 infection on mycobacterial growth in peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages.
Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and opportunistic mycobacteria, especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a cause of high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Both mycobacteria and HIV-1 may infect macrophages, and thus, coinfection may generate conditions that reciprocally influence the intracellular replication of the pathogens. Elucidation of the interaction betwee...
متن کاملQuantification and comparison of TLR2 activity in monocyte-derived macrophages of zebu and crossbred cattle
The present study was conducted to quantify and compare TLR2 (toll-like receptor 2) activity in monocyte-derived macrophages of zebu (Tharparkar) and crossbred (Holstein-Friesian × Jersey × Brown Swiss × Hariana) cattle. The cells were either induced with Pam3CSK4 or kept as control. The TLR2 activity was quantified in terms of IκB-α inhibitory subunit (NFKBIA) messenger RNA (mRNA) copies...

متن کاملPeripheral blood "endothelial progenitor cells" are derived from monocyte/macrophages and secrete angiogenic growth factors.
BACKGROUND Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been isolated from peripheral blood and can enhance angiogenesis after infusion into host animals. It is not known whether the proangiogenic effects are a result of such events as endothelial differentiation and subsequent proliferation of EPCs or secondary to secretion of angiogenic growth factors. METHODS AND RESULTS Human EPCs were isolat...
