Complement receptors in myeloid cell adhesion and phagocytosis by Dustin, M

“…Myeloid cells make extensive use of the complement system in the context of recruitment, phagocytosis, and other effector functions. There are several types of complement receptors on myeloid cells, including G protein-coupled receptors for localizing the source of complement activation, and three sets of type I transmembrane proteins that link complement to phagocytosis: complement receptor 1, having an extracellular domain with tandem complement regulatory repeats; complement receptors 3 and 4, which are integrin family receptors comprising heterodimers of type I transmembrane subunits; and VSIG4, a member of the Ig superfamily. …”

Computing phagocytosis index for high-throughput applications by Sebastian, T, Rittscher, J, Yu, L

“…This process is called phagocytosis. Specific assays have been developed to monitor, for example, the effect of immunomodulatory drugs on phagocytosis. …”

Thrombocytopenia in Plasmodium vivax malaria is related to platelets phagocytosis. by Helena Cristina C Coelho, Stefanie C P Lopes, João Paulo D Pimentel, Paulo A Nogueira, Fábio T M Costa, André M Siqueira, Gisely C Melo, Wuelton M Monteiro, Adriana Malheiro, Marcus V G Lacerda

“…Platelets from HV or patients were labeled with 5-chloromethyl fluorescein diacetate (CMFDA), incubated with human monocytic cell line (THP-1) and platelet phagocytosis index was analyzed by flow cytometry. The phagocytosis index was higher in thrombocytopenic patients compared to non-thrombocytopenic patients (p = 0.042) and HV (p = 0.048). …”

Calreticulin and Galectin-3 Opsonise Bacteria for Phagocytosis by Microglia by Tom O. J. Cockram, Mar Puigdellívol, Guy C. Brown

“…Calreticulin and galectin-3 both bound to Escherichia coli, and when bound increased phagocytosis of these bacteria by microglia. Furthermore, lipopolysaccharide-induced microglial phagocytosis of E. coli bacteria was partially inhibited by: sugars, an anti-calreticulin antibody, a blocker of the calreticulin phagocytic receptor LRP1, a blocker of the galectin-3 phagocytic receptor MerTK, or simply removing factors released from the microglia, indicating this phagocytosis is dependent on extracellular calreticulin and galectin-3. …”

Disruption of Sphingolipid Biosynthesis Blocks Phagocytosis of Candida albicans. by Fikadu G Tafesse, Ali Rashidfarrokhi, Florian I Schmidt, Elizaveta Freinkman, Stephanie Dougan, Michael Dougan, Alexandre Esteban, Takeshi Maruyama, Karin Strijbis, Hidde L Ploegh

“…The role of signaling lipid molecules such as phosphoinositides is well established, but the role of membrane sphingolipids in phagocytosis is largely unknown. Using a genetic approach and small molecule inhibitors, we show that phagocytosis of Candida albicans requires an intact sphingolipid biosynthetic pathway. …”

Role of SpdA in Cell Spreading and Phagocytosis in Dictyostelium. by Marco Dias, Cristiana Brochetta, Anna Marchetti, Romain Bodinier, Franz Brückert, Pierre Cosson

“…These phenotypes were highly dependent on the cellular density, and were most visible at high cell densities, where secreted quorum-sensing factors inhibiting cell motility, spreading and phagocytosis are most active. These results identify the involvement of SpdA in the control of cell spreading and phagocytosis. …”
