Modulation of alveolar macrophage-driven fibroblast proliferation by alternative macrophage mediators.
Tissue fibrosis results, in part, from an interaction between growth regulatory molecules released by mononuclear phagocytes and fibroblasts. In the chronic interstitial lung disorders, alveolar macrophages, the mononuclear phagocytes of the lung, are known to spontaneously release two growth factors for fibroblasts, fibronectin and alveolar macrophage-derived growth factor (AMDGF) that togethe...
متن کاملEFFECTS OF DIFFERENT MEDIATORS ON FIBROBLAST PROLIFERATION
In this study, we have investigated the proliferative response of human dermal fibroblasts isolated from normal and psoriatic individuals to different cytokines. We found that IL-1, TNF (α) and EGF are stimulatory whereas IFN « and 1 both showed inhibitory activity on fibroblast proliferation. IL-6 a more recently described cytokine, showed no detectable effects on cell proliferation. Inve...
متن کاملModulation of the alveolar macrophage superoxide production by protein phosphorylation.
Stimulation of alveolar macrophages (AM) with adenosine-5-diphosphate (ADP) results in transient production of superoxide anion radical (O2.-; superoxide) and H2O2 in a metabolic event known as the respiratory burst. Initiation of the respiratory burst appears to depend on activation of protein kinase activity, whereas protein phosphatases might involved in termination of the burst. The involve...

متن کاملThe alveolar macrophage.
The pulmonary macrophagic system is critical to the defense of the lung, keeping the alveoli clean and sterile and responding on demand with an adaptive outpouring of new cells into the air sacs. Under basal conditions alveolar macrophages, in common with other mononuclear phagocytes, are derived from the bone marrow. A population of macrophage precursors within the pulmonary interstitium provi...
