Abstract

Phagocytosis is an essential event in the complex process of tissue repair. Here we examined the effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (US), which promotes fracture and wound healing, on phagocytosis by mouse macrophage cell line J774A.1 and human monocyte-derived macrophages. First, 10 to 40 min low intensity pulsed US increased uptake of serum opsonized E. coli by J774A.1 cells during a 50 min phagocytosis period. In addition, when the E. coli exposure time was varied between 35 to 80 min, the maximum increase in phagocytosis was observed in the first 35 min upon US exposure. In parallel, US induced robust actin polymerization in a time dependent manner in J774A.1 cells, showing the peak effect 30 min after stimulation. Interestingly, a low concentration of cytochalasin D (0.25-0.5 microM) prevented US-induced phagocytosis of E. coli. Furthermore, we demonstrated US enhanced activation of RhoA. Blocking its downstream effector Rho associated kinase (ROCK) with Y27632 abrogated US-induced phagocytosis. We also show that US induced activation of ERK and p38 MAPK. Pretreatment of the cells with the corresponding inhibitors PD98059 and SB203580 reduced US-induced phagocytosis. In addition, activity of tyrosine kinase Src was ...Continue Reading

Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity

Antibody-dependent cellular toxicity refers to the lysis of a target cell by a non-sensitized effector cell of the immune system as a result of antibodies binding to the target cell membrane and engaging the Fc receptors on the immune effector cells.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
