HIV-1 infection does not impair human alveolar macrophage phagocytic function unless combined with cigarette smoking.
OBJECTIVE Macrophages are an important reservoir for the HIV and contribute to innate lung defense by their ability to phagocytose, digest, and process invading pathogens. We hypothesized that HIV-1 infection may lead to a defect in the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages. DESIGN In order to test this hypothesis, the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages from asymptomatic HIV-1 ...
متن کاملAsbestos and silica-induced changes in human alveolar macrophage phenotype.
The mechanism by which fibrogenic particulates induce inflammation that can progress to lung fibrosis is uncertain. The alveolar macrophage (AM) has been implicated in the inflammatory process because of its function and reported release of inflammatory mediators when isolated from fibrotic patients. It has been recently shown that fibrogenic, but not nonfibrogenic, particulates are highly pote...
متن کاملPhotoresponsive Cellulose Nanocrystals
In this communication a method for the creation of fluorescent cellulose nanoparticles using click chemistry and subsequent photodimerization of the installed side‐ chains is demonstrated. In the first step, the primary hydroxyl groups on the surface of the CNCs were converted to carboxylic acids by using TEMPO‐mediated hypohalite oxidation. The alkyne groups, essent...
متن کاملMarijuana and cocaine impair alveolar macrophage function and cytokine production.
Use of marijuana and cocaine is on the rise in the United States. Although pulmonary toxicity from these drugs has occasionally been reported, little is known about their effects on the lung microenvironment. We evaluated the function of alveolar macrophages (AMs) recovered from the lungs of nonsmokers and habitual smokers of either tobacco, marijuana, or crack cocaine. AMs recovered from marij...
