چکیده

Phagocytic sensing and engulfment of dying cells and extracellular bodies initiate an intracellular signaling cascade within the phagocyte that can polarize cellular function and promote communication with neighboring non-phagocytes. Accumulating evidence links phagocytic signaling in the heart to cardiac development, adult myocardial homeostasis, and the resolution of cardiac inflammation of infectious, ischemic, and aging-associated etiology. Phagocytic clearance in the heart may be carried out by professional phagocytes, such as macrophages, and non-professional cells, including myofibrolasts and potentially epithelial cells. During cardiac development, phagocytosis initiates growth cues for early cardiac morphogenesis. In diseases of aging, including myocardial infarction, heightened levels of cell death require efficient phagocytic debridement to salvage further loss of terminally differentiated adult cardiomyocytes. Additional risk factors, including insulin resistance and other systemic risk factors, contribute to inefficient phagocytosis, altered phagocytic signaling, and delayed cardiac inflammation resolution. Under such conditions, inflammatory presentation of myocardial antigen may lead to autoimmunity and even possible rejection of transplanted heart allografts. Increased understanding of these basic mechanisms offers therapeutic opportunities.

Enhanced efferocytosis of apoptotic cardiomyocytes through myeloid-epithelial-reproductive tyrosine kinase links acute inflammation resolution to cardiac repair after infarction.

RATIONALE Efficient clearance of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) is a prerequisite for inflammation resolution and tissue repair. After myocardial infarction, phagocytes are recruited to the heart and promote clearance of dying cardiomyocytes. The molecular mechanisms of efferocytosis of cardiomyocytes and in the myocardium are unknown. The injured heart provides a unique model to examine relat...

Contrasting Inflammation Resolution during Atherosclerosis and Post Myocardial Infarction at the Level of Monocyte/Macrophage Phagocytic Clearance

In cardiovascular disorders including advanced atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction (MI), increased cell death and tissue destabilization is associated with recruitment of inflammatory monocyte subsets that give rise to differentiated macrophages. These phagocytic cells clear necrotic and apoptotic bodies and promote inflammation resolution and tissue remodeling. The capacity of macrophage...

The effect of resistance training on PI3K/mTORc1 signaling in left ventricular of diabetes rats

Background: Clinical evidence points to the effective role of genetic factors and intracellular signaling pathways in physiological cardiac hypertrophy. This study aimed to assess the response of PI3K/mTORc1 signaling pathway in cardiac tissue to resistance training in obese diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 21 male wistar rats (220±20 g) were obese by 6 weeks high fat di...

MicroRNA-126 overexpression rescues diabetes-induced impairment in efferocytosis of apoptotic cardiomyocytes

Efferocytosis, a process of clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytes, is essential for successful resolution of inflammation and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Diabetes compromises the function of macrophages leading to adverse inflammatory response during wound healing, myocardial injury, atherosclerosis and autoimmune disorders. However, the effect of diabetes on macrophage-mediated eff...

The effect of aerobic exercise on MMP-2 / miR-21 signaling pathway of cardiac fibrosis in elderly rats

Background :The concept of survival has changed since the twentieth century to guarantee quality of life in the twenty-first century (1). Aging is associated with a certain degree of interstitial fibrosis, which progresses to heart failure. Therefore, finding new and practical methods is an important and necessary help to reduce heart tissue fibrosis in the elderly (2). Providing mechanisms by ...
