Connexin43 is dispensable for phagocytosis.
Macrophages that lack connexin43 (Cx43), a gap junction protein, have been reported to exhibit dramatic deficiencies in phagocytosis. In this study, we revisit these findings using well-characterized macrophage populations. Cx43 knockout (Cx43(-/-)) mice die soon after birth, making the harvest of macrophages from adult Cx43(-/-) mice problematic. To overcome this obstacle, we used several stra...
متن کاملRegulation of macrophage cytokine production by phagocytosis of apoptotic and post-apoptotic cells.
Recognition and removal is the final common event in the lives of most apoptotic cells in vivo. Macrophages are particularly talented at this task and therefore play a central role in the resolution of inflammation. Because macrophages remove apoptotic cells prior to their lysis, the release of potentially toxic and/or pro-inflammatory intracellular contents is prevented. Uptake of apoptotic ce...
متن کاملAspirin-triggered lipoxin enhances macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria while inhibiting inflammatory cytokine production.
The macrophage plays a major role in the induction and resolution phases of inflammation; however, how lipid mediator-derived signals may modulate macrophage function in the resolution of inflammation driven by microbes (e.g., in inflammatory bowel disease) is not well understood. We examined the effects of aspirin-triggered lipoxin (ATL), a stable analog of lipoxin A(4), on the antimicrobial r...
متن کاملHyperosmotic stress enhances cytokine production and decreases phagocytosis in vitro
INTRODUCTION Hyperglycemia is associated with negative outcomes in various settings of critical illness; infectious complications, especially, seem to be increased. On the other hand, intensive insulin therapy (IIT) has been shown to improve outcome in clinical trials. Whether normoglycemia itself or the application of insulin is responsible for the observed findings is unknown. We therefore te...
متن کاملEffect of silica and gold nanoparticles on macrophage proliferation, activation markers, cytokine production, and phagocytosis in vitro
The accumulation of durable nanoparticles (NPs) in macrophages following systemic administration is well described. The ultimate biological impact of this accumulation on macrophage function, however, is not fully understood. In this study, nontoxic doses of two durable NPs, SiO2 and Au, at particle sizes of ~10 nm and 300 nm were used to evaluate the effect of bioaccumulation on macrophage fun...
