Glucocorticoid Augmentation of Macrophage Capacity for Phagocytosis of Apoptotic Cells Is Associated with Reduced p130Cas Expression, Loss of Paxillin/pyk2 Phosphorylation, and High Levels of Active Rac

Abstract

Phagocytic clearance of apoptotic granulocytes has a pivotal role in determining an inflammatory outcome, resolution or progression to a chronic state associated with development of fibrotic repair mechanisms, and/or autoimmune responses. In this study, we describe reprogramming of monocyte to macrophage differentiation by glucocorticoids, resulting in a marked augmentation of their capacity for phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils. This monocyte/macrophage phenotype was characterized by decreased phosphorylation, and therefore recruitment of paxillin and pyk2 to focal contacts and a down-regulation of p130Cas, a key adaptor molecule in integrin adhesion signaling. Glucocorticoid-treated cells also displayed higher levels of active Rac and cytoskeletal activity, which were mirrored by increases in phagocytic capability for apoptotic neutrophils. We propose that changes in the capacity for reorganization of cytoskeletal elements induced by glucocorticoids are essential for efficient phagocytic uptake of apoptotic cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
