Azithromycin alters macrophage phenotype.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the in vitro effects of azithromycin on macrophage phenotype. Utilizing a mouse macrophage cell line (J774), we examined the effect of azithromycin on the properties that define classical macrophage activation (M1) and alternative macrophage activation (M2). METHODS J774 cells were cultured in the presence of azithromycin and stimulated with classical activation [int...
متن کاملDakin solution alters macrophage viability and function.
BACKGROUND Macrophages are important in wound defense and healing. Dakin's solution (DS), buffered sodium hypochlorite, has been used since World War I as a topical antimicrobial for wound care. DS has been shown to be toxic to host cells, but effects on immune cells are not well documented. MATERIALS AND METHODS DS at 0.5%, 0.125%, and ten-fold serial dilutions from 0.25%-0.00025% were evalu...
متن کاملRadiofrequency treatment alters cancer cell phenotype
The importance of evaluating physical cues in cancer research is gradually being realized. Assessment of cancer cell physical appearance, or phenotype, may provide information on changes in cellular behavior, including migratory or communicative changes. These characteristics are intrinsically different between malignant and non-malignant cells and change in response to therapy or in the progre...
متن کاملPostnatal glucocorticoid exposure alters the adult phenotype.
We examined the effect of six doses of dexamethasone (Dex) administered daily (2-7 days of age) to postnatal rats on body weight gain, food and water intake, peripheral hormonal/metabolic milieu, and hypothalamic neuropeptides that regulate food intake. We observed a Dex-induced acute (3 days of age) suppression of endogenous corticosterone and an increase in circulating leptin concentrations t...
متن کاملMacrophage Phenotype in Kidney Injury and Repair
Background: Glomerular and interstitial macrophage infiltration is a feature for both the acute and chronic kidney diseases. Macrophages have been shown to play a diverse role in kidney injury and repair. Thus, macrophages may be a key cell type in acute and chronic kidney injury and repair. Summary and Key Messages: During renal inflammation, circulating monocytes are recruited and then become...
