Apoptotic Cell Recognition: Will the Real Phosphatidylserine Receptor(s) Please Stand up?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recognition of phosphatidylserine (PS) on apoptotic cells within tissues drives both their engulfment and an accompanying anti-inflammatory and tissue restorative program. Insight into the recognition of this phospholipid signal by phagocytes is provided by papers describing three new, but completely different, PS receptors.

The Calotropis Gigantea Methanolic Extract Induces Apoptosis in Human Breast Carcinoma Cells
Background: Calotropis gigantea (family: Asclepiadaceae) has been known to contain cardiac glycosides. The C. gigantea extracts have been reported as cytotoxic to a few cancer cell lines. The present study was designed to examine the effect of Calotropis gigantea methanolic extract (CGME) on the growth and apoptosis in human breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7 cells).Methods: The study was ...
متن کاملElastase-mediated phosphatidylserine receptor cleavage impairs apoptotic cell clearance in cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis.
Cystic fibrosis is characterized by an early and sustained influx of inflammatory cells into the airways and by release of proteases. Resolution of inflammation is normally associated with the orderly removal of dying apoptotic inflammatory cells through cell recognition receptors, such as the phosphatidylserine receptor, CD36, and alpha v integrins. Accordingly, removal of apoptotic inflammato...
متن کاملApoptotic cell and phagocyte interplay: recognition and consequences in different cell systems.
Cell death by apoptosis is characterized by specific biochemical changes, including the exposure of multiple ligands, expected to tag the dying cell for prompt recognition by phagocytes. In non-pathological conditions, an efficient clearance is assured by the redundant interaction between apoptotic cell ligands and multiple receptor molecules present on the engulfing cell surface. This review c...
متن کاملPhosphatidylserine receptors: what is the new RAGE?
the recognition of apoptotic cells by phagocytes is a complex, yet highly orchestrated event. Many receptors have been identified that recognize phosphatidylserine (pS; Fig 1)—which is exposed on early apoptotic cells—leading to downstream signalling and apoptotic cell engulfment. in this issue of EMBo reports, the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (ragE) is described as a new pS rece...
متن کاملOxidized phosphatidylserine–CD36 interactions play an essential role in macrophage-dependent phagocytosis of apoptotic cells
The phagocytosis of apoptotic cells within an organism is a critical terminal physiological process in programmed cell death. Evidence suggests that apoptotic cell engulfment and removal by macrophages is facilitated by phosphatidylserine (PS) displayed at the exofacial surface of the plasma membrane; however, neither the macrophage receptors responsible for PS recognition, nor characterization...
