Activation of Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase, Protein Kinase C, and Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Is Required for Oridonin-Enhanced Phagocytosis of Apoptotic Bodies in Human Macrophage-Like U937 Cells

Our previous study showed that oridonin isolated from Rabdosia rubescens enhanced phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophage-like U937 cells through tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α and interleukin (IL)-1β release. In this study, we further investigated signaling events involved in oridonin-augmente...
