Phagocytosis: How Macrophages Tune Their Non-professional Counterparts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Foreign particles and apoptotic cells are engulfed by professional phagocytes (e.g. macrophages) and non-professional phagocytes (e.g. epithelial cells). These phagocyte populations exchange information to coordinate and prioritise their activities, but the nature of these messages was unknown. Recently, IGF-1 and microvesicles were identified as means of communication between macrophages and epithelia.

Background: Macrophages are one of the most important immune cells. Macrophages can be divided into two main subgroups of classical or inflammatory macrophages(M1) and alternative or non -inflammatory macrophages or (M2), due to different stimuli. One of the factors that causes the macrophage to orient towards M2, is the phagocytosis of apoptosis cells (efferocytosis). The phagocytosis of mesen...
متن کاملTunable particles alter macrophage uptake based on combinatorial effects of physical properties
The ability to tune phagocytosis of particle-based therapeutics by macrophages can enhance their delivery to macrophages or reduce their phagocytic susceptibility for delivery to non-phagocytic cells. Since phagocytosis is affected by the physical and chemical properties of particles, it is crucial to identify any interplay between physical properties of particles in altering phagocytic interac...
متن کاملHigh fat diet deviates PtC-specific B1 B cell phagocytosis in obese mice
Phagocytosis had been attributed predominantly to "professional" phagocytes such as macrophages, which play critical roles in adipose tissue inflammation. However, recently, macrophage-like phagocytic activity has been reported in B1 B lymphocytes. Intrigued by the long-established correlation between high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and immune dysfunction, we investigated how HFD affects B1...
متن کاملDrosophila GATA Factor Serpent Establishes Phagocytic Ability of Embryonic Macrophages
During Drosophila embryogenesis, a large number of apoptotic cells are efficiently engulfed and degraded by professional phagocytes, macrophages. Phagocytic receptors Six-Microns-Under (SIMU), Draper (Drpr) and Croquemort (Crq) are specifically expressed in embryonic macrophages and required for their phagocytic function. However, how this function is established during development remains uncl...
متن کاملEffects of Microparticle Size and Fc Density on Macrophage Phagocytosis
Controlled induction of phagocytosis in macrophages offers the ability to therapeutically regulate the immune system as well as improve delivery of chemicals or biologicals for immune processing. Maximizing particle uptake by macrophages through Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis could lead to new delivery mechanisms in drug or vaccine development. Fc ligand density and particle size were examin...
