Journal ArticleDOI
CCL1 released from M2b macrophages is essentially required for the maintenance of their properties.
Akira Asai,Kiwamu Nakamura,Makiko Kobayashi,Makiko Kobayashi,David N. Herndon,Fujio Suzuki,Fujio Suzuki +6 more
TL;DR: The increased susceptibility of mice, 10–30 days after burn injury to MRSA infection, may be controlled through the intervention of CCL1 production by M2bMΦ appearing in association with severe burn injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orosomucoid 1 drives opportunistic infections through the polarization of monocytes to the M2b phenotype
TL;DR: Results indicate that ORM1 stimulates quiescent monocytes to polarize to M2b monocytes, which may be beneficial in controlling opportunistic infections in patients with a large amount of plasma OrM1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of M2b Macrophages in the Acceleration of Bacterial Translocation and Subsequent Sepsis in Mice Exposed to Whole Body [137Cs] Gamma-Irradiation
TL;DR: Results indicate that M2bMϕ presented in the I-MLNMϕ populations were responsible for the impaired resistance of mice irradiated with gamma-rays to bacterial translocation and subsequent sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of glycyrrhizin on pseudomonal skin infections in human-mouse chimeras
Shohei Yoshida,Jong O. Lee,Kiwamu Nakamura,Sumihiro Suzuki,David N. Hendon,Makiko Kobayashi,Fujio Suzuki +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that sepsis stemming from pseudomonal grafted site infections in a chimera model of burn injury is controllable by glycyrrhizin, and impaired antimicrobial peptide production at the infection site of severely burned patients may be restored after treatment with glycyRrhiz in.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lineage−CD34+CD31+ Cells That Appear in Association with Severe Burn Injury Are Inhibitory on the Production of Antimicrobial Peptides by Epidermal Keratinocytes
Shohei Yoshida,Jong O. Lee,Kiwamu Nakamura,Sumihiro Suzuki,David N. Hendon,Makiko Kobayashi,Makiko Kobayashi,Fujio Suzuki,Fujio Suzuki +8 more
TL;DR: Lineage−CD34+CD31+ cells that appear in association with burn injuries play a role on the inhibition of antimicrobial peptide production by skin keratinocytes through the production of CCL2 and IL-10.
