Emodin Bidirectionally Modulates Macrophage Polarization and Epigenetically Regulates Macrophage Memory.
Macrophages are pleiotropic cells capable of performing a broad spectrum of functions. Macrophage phenotypes are classified along a continuum between the extremes of proinflammatory M1 macrophages and anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages. The seemingly opposing functions of M1 and M2 macrophages must be tightly regulated for an effective and proper response to foreign molecules or damaged tissue. E...
متن کاملmiR-24 Regulates Macrophage Polarization and Plasticity
OBJECTIVE MicroRNAs (miRNA) are ubiquitous regulators of human biology and immunity. Previously, we have demonstrated an inhibitory role for miR-24 in the phagocytosis of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bioparticles and the induction of cytokine secretion in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the same origin; also, we have identified divergent and convergent miRNA responses to L...
متن کاملMicroRNA let-7c regulates macrophage polarization.
Macrophages demonstrate a high level of plasticity, with the ability to undergo dynamic transition between M1 and M2 polarized phenotypes. The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating macrophage polarization has been largely undefined. In this study, we found that miRNA let-7c is expressed at a higher level in M-BMM (M2 macrophages) than in GM-BMM (M1 macrophages). let-7c levels are also greate...
متن کاملThe TSC-mTOR pathway regulates macrophage polarization
Macrophages are able to polarize to proinflammatory M1 or alternative M2 states with distinct phenotypes and physiological functions. How metabolic status regulates macrophage polarization remains not well understood, and here we examine the role of mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin), a central metabolic pathway that couples nutrient sensing to regulation of metabolic processes. Using a mou...
متن کاملKrüppel-like factor 4 regulates macrophage polarization.
Current paradigms suggest that two macrophage subsets, termed M1 and M2, are involved in inflammation and host defense. While the distinct functions of M1 and M2 macrophages have been intensively studied - the former are considered proinflammatory and the latter antiinflammatory - the determinants of their speciation are incompletely understood. Here we report our studies that identify Krüppel-...
