Studies on Macrophage Migration in Pathological Contexts
Macrophages play key roles following nerve injury releasing cytokines and chemokines thought to be involved in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. ATP is a transporter of chemical energy, but can also act as an extracellular signalling molecule that signals through purinergic …

ROLE OF P50 NF-KB IN MACROPHAGE MIGRATION
Tumor Associated Macrophages (TAM) and lipopolisaccharide- (LPS)-tolerant macrophages share several characteristics, such as a massive accumulation of the p50 NF-B homodimer in the nucleus and the incapacity to express strong inflammatory programs (eg. impaired TNF production) in response to …

Role for Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Multiple Sclerosis
Il fattore di inibizione della migrazione dei macrofagi (MIF) è una citochina proinfiammatoria che svolge un ruolo importante nella patogenesi di numerosi disordini infiammatori e autoimmuni. Come tale, è un obiettivo terapeutico interessante per il trattamento di questi disturbi. Diversi dati …

Expression of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Behçet's disease
PURPOSE: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a unique protein, participating in inflammation, immune response, and cell growth. Previous reports showed that MIF-173 G>C polymorphism or the MIF-794 [CATT]5-8 polymorphism and haplotypes containing these variants were associated with an …

Molecular mechanisms of the unconventional secretion of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease such as septic shock and rheumatoid arthritis. The release of MIF from inflammatory cells is a common feature in these diseases, and a correlation between the …

A Leishmania ortholog of macrophage migration inhibitory factor modulates host macrophage responses
… of the pro-inflammatory pleiotropic cytokine, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). These two MIF-like sequences show 22% sequence identity when aligned with human MIF, and are most likely the result of gene duplication. The Lm1740MIF and Lm1750MIF genes (58% identity) are expressed in …

Dissecting the impact of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) on host immune response
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been implicated in mediating both innate and adaptive immune responses in inflammatory and infectious diseases. The sequence and structure of MIF is highly conserved across the avian phylogeny, which underlies high sequence homology and functional …

The Involvement of Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase-1 (IRAK-1) as a Critical Modulator of Macrophage Migration
Macrophage migration, an essential component of many biological processes and pathologic conditions, is mediated by integrated cellular signaling processes and cytoskeleton rearrangement. Recent advances indicate that the innate immunity signaling process plays a key role in the regulation of …

The Role of Immunological Receptors CD74 and CD44 in Association with the Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) on Human Breast Cancer Derived Cells
… synergy and are susceptible to the effect of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). MIF is a 12.5 kDa chemokine-like inflammatory mediator, whose ligand is the transmembrane receptor CD74. Recent data suggests that CD74 is involved in proinflammatory responses and tumorigenesis but …

Splenic Regulation Of Macrophage Activity In Mice Infected With Listeria Monocytogenes
… The regulatory role of the spleen over macrophage activation in mice was investigated. The macrophage migration inhibition test was used to measure in vitro macrophage activity. Macrophages from splenectomized, infected mice were shown to have increased migration and therefore increased …

LATE PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF NETRIN-1 AND ADENOSINE A2B RECEPTOR ACTIVATION IN THE MURINE ACETAMINOPHEN HEPATOTOXICITY MODEL
… translocation; in contrast, netrin-1 promoted macrophage migration and liver regeneration. Its receptor adenosine A2B receptor (A2BAR) was highly induced at late time points and blocking its receptor could remove its late protective effects, indicating that netrin-1 through its receptor A2BAR, …

The Identification of the MCHR-1 in J774A.1 Macrophages and The Effect of Melanin-concentrating Hormone on a 3T3-L1 Adipocyte-J774A.1 Macrophage Co-Culture
… acrophages in our laboratory. First, the J774A.1 macrophage line was acquired. Eventually, successful macrophage culturing technique was learned. Then, I asked whether theses J774A.1 macrophage expressed the Mchr1 gene and MCH receptor protein as well as whether this cell line responded at all to …

Therapeutic Approaches to Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes
… have suggested a role for this receptor in macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue to augment insulin resistance through an unknown mechanism. Overexpression studies revealed GPR21 to be a constitutively active receptor, which couples Gαq type G proteins leading to the activation of the …

Tumor microenvironmental control of metastasis : effects of the immune cells and physical forces on cell migration
… can influence metastasis. Specifically, macrophage, one of the most abundant tumor-associated stromal cell types, has been shown to assist cancer cell invasion. However, exactly how macrophages affect the different aspects (e.g. speed and persistence) of cancer cell migration, especially …

Cannabinoid Modulation of Chemotaxis of Macrophages and Macrophage-like Cells
… reported to modulate functional activities of macrophages. It is recognized that macrophages express primarily the CB2 cannabinoid receptor, but recent studies indicate that its expression is differential in relation to activation state with maximal levels occurring when cells are in …

CDK9 inhibitor treatment during the innate inflammatory and regenerative response in a zebrafish model of cardiac injury
Neutrophils and macrophages are crucial effectors and modulators of cardiac repair following myocardial infarction (MI). Sustained neutrophilic inflammation is detrimental for cardiac repair and associated with adverse MI outcomes. An attractive therapeutic strategy to treat acute inflammatory …
