An acidic microenvironment sets the humoral pattern recognition molecule PTX3 in a tissue repair mode

چکیده
Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a fluid-phase pattern recognition molecule and a key component of the humoral arm of innate immunity. In four different models of tissue damage in mice, PTX3 deficiency was associated with increased fibrin deposition and persistence, and thicker clots, followed by increased collagen deposition, when compared with controls. Ptx3-deficient macrophages showed defective pericellular fibrinolysis in vitro. PTX3-bound fibrinogen/fibrin and plasminogen at acidic pH and increased plasmin-mediated fibrinolysis. The second exon-encoded N-terminal domain of PTX3 recapitulated the activity of the intact molecule. Thus, a prototypic component of humoral innate immunity, PTX3, plays a nonredundant role in the orchestration of tissue repair and remodeling. Tissue acidification resulting from metabolic adaptation during tissue repair sets PTX3 in a tissue remodeling and repair mode, suggesting that matrix and microbial recognition are common, ancestral features of the humoral arm of innate immunity.

Innate immunity is the first line of resistance against pathogens, but it has also an important role in maintaining tissue homeostasis by regulating inflammatory and repair responses after tissue injury [1]. Innate immunity consists of a cellular and humoral arm [1, 2]. It has been clearly established that cell-associated pattern-recognition molecules (PRM) sense damage-associated molecular pat...

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a soluble pattern recognition molecule playing a nonredundant role in resistance against Aspergillus fumigatus. The present study was designed to investigate the molecular pathways involved in the opsonic activity of PTX3. The PTX3 N-terminal domain was responsible for conidia recognition, but the full-length molecule was necessary for opsonic activity. The PTX3dependent p...

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a soluble pattern recognition receptor that is a humoral component of the innate immune system. It interacts with pathogenic moieties, infected and dying host cells and facilitates their removal through activation of appropriate innate and adaptive mechanisms. PTX3 is secreted by a diverse variety of cells, ranging from immune cells to structural cells, in response to Toll...

Inflammation is an essential component of the tumor microenvironment that sustains tumor development and growth [1]. The role in cancer-related inflammation of innate immunity cells recruited in the tumor has been clarified in preclinical models. In contrast, the role of the humoral arm of the innate immune system, which includes biochemically heterogeneous molecules such as Complement componen...
