DICERing macrophages for reprogramming TAMs
Macrophages are cells of the innate immune system that respond to external stimuli by rapidly adapting their transcriptional programs and behavior. Upon exposure to inflammatory signals or pathogen-associated molecules, macrophages activate a proinflammatory program (called “classical” or M1 activation) that enhances their direct microbicidal functions and, arguably, their ability to stimulate ...
متن کاملStepwise Reprogramming of B Cells into Macrophages
Starting with multipotent progenitors, hematopoietic lineages are specified by lineage-restricted transcription factors. The transcription factors that determine the decision between lymphoid and myeloid cell fates, and the underlying mechanisms, remain largely unknown. Here, we report that enforced expression of C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta in differentiated B cells leads to their rapid and effici...
متن کاملReprogramming of macrophages--new opportunities for therapeutic targeting.
Macrophages are key players of tissue homeostasis and are cells involved in all major human diseases including infections, tumors, western life-style associated diseases and even neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, specifically targeting macrophages seems to be an attractive therapeutic approach, yet such strategies have not been successfully translated to the clinic. An important hallmark o...
متن کاملPHD2 Is a Regulator for Glycolytic Reprogramming in Macrophages.
The prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzymes are regarded as the molecular oxygen sensors. There is an interplay between oxygen availability and cellular metabolism, which in turn has significant effects on the functionality of innate immune cells, such as macrophages. However, if and how PHD enzymes affect macrophage metabolism are enigmatic. We hypothesized that macrophage metabolism and fun...
متن کاملTumor-Associated Macrophages (TAMs) Form an Interconnected Cellular Supportive Network in Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma
BACKGROUND A relationship between the increased density of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and decreased survival was recently reported in thyroid cancer patients. Among these tumors, anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most aggressive solid tumors in humans. TAMs (type M2) have been recognized as promoting tumor growth. The purpose of our study was to analyze with immunohistochem...
