Interleukin-13-regulated M2 macrophages in combination with myeloid suppressor cells block immune surveillance against metastasis.
CD1-deficient mice reject established, disseminated 4T1 metastatic mammary cancer and survive indefinitely if their primary mammary tumors are surgically removed. This highly effective immune surveillance is due to three interacting mechanisms: (a) the generation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-producing M1 macrophages that are tumoricidal for 4T1 tumor cells; (b) a rapid decrease in ...
متن کاملNecessity and sufficiency of beta interferon for nitric oxide production in mouse peritoneal macrophages.
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide and some cytokines can activate macrophages to secrete nitric oxide. Macrophage-derived nitric oxide is a key cytotoxic factor for microbicidal and tumoricidal processes. We report here that a monoclonal antibody specific for beta interferon inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in thioglycolate-elicited C3HeB/FeJ peritoneal macrophages and ma...
متن کاملKinetics of Nitric Oxide Production and MTT Reduction by HSV-1 Infected Macrophages
Background: Macrophages have important role in defense against Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 (HSV-1). The present study was performed to determine the viability and nitric oxide (NO) production by HSV-1 infected mouse peritoneal macrophages (HIM). Method: The viability of macrophages was evaluated using MTT reduction assay and the production of nitrite using Griess method. Results: The ability of...
متن کاملEffect of Neutrophils on Nitric Oxide Production from Stimulated Macrophages
Background: During the initial phase of an infection, there is an upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the macrophages for the production of nitric oxide. This is followed by the recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) which release arginase. Arginase competes with inducible nitric oxide synthase for a common substrate L-arginine. Objective: To investigate whethe...
متن کاملInterferon Regulatory Factor (IRF)-1 Is a Master Regulator of the Cross Talk between Macrophages and L929 Fibrosarcoma Cells for Nitric Oxide Dependent Tumoricidal Activity
Macrophage tumoricidal activity relies, mainly, on the release of Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFα) and/or on reactive oxygen or nitrogen intermediates. In the present work, we investigated the cytotoxic activity of resident peritoneal macrophages against L929 fibrosarcoma cell line in vitro and in vivo. Resident macrophages lysed L929 cells in a mechanism independent of TNFα and cell-to-cell ...
