Since macrophage activation can now be studied at a global level using modern microarray and proteomic analyses, discovery of novel macrophage activation genes is inevitable and important for understanding HIV-associated dementia (HAD). We isolated two different types of primary human macrophages, m...

Occupational and consumer exposure to GRMs will increase but their impact on human health is still largely unknown. We sought to perform a transcriptome comparison of the bioresponses of MDM and THP-1 macrophages exposed to 5 or 20 µg/ml graphene oxide (GO) or graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) for 6 and ...

Foam cell formation from monocyte-derived macrophages is a hallmark of atheroscle-rotic lesions. Aspects of this process can be recapitulated in vitro by exposing MCSF-induced or platelet factor4 (CXCL4)-induced macrophages to oxidized (ox) or minimally modified (mm) low density lipoprotein (LDL). W...

We measured TNFα activity on the transcriptional level by identifying TNFα-inducible genes in human blood monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). On the basis that TNFα does not act in isolation, we used bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a prototypic model of a stimulus to invoke secretion of a w...

We performed gene expression analysis using Affymetrix U133Plus2 microarray chips on cultures of infected human cells. To mimic an in vivo infection, we infected human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) in vitro with wild-type L. chagasi parasites and then co-cultured those infected MDMs with naiv...

Microvesicles (MV) are small membrane-bound particles comprised of exosomes and various sized extracellular vesicles. These are released by a number of cell types. Microvesicles have a variety of cellular functions from communication to mediating growth and differentiation. Microvesicles contain pro...

Leishmania (L) are intracellular protozoan parasites which are able to survive and replicate within the harsh and potentially hostile phago-lysosomal environment of mammalian mononuclear phagocytes. A complex interplay then takes place between the macrophage (MM-NM-&) striving to eliminate the patho...

Background: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MPTb) is the causative agent of Johne’s disease, an intestinal disease of ruminants with major economic consequences. MPTb bacilli are phagocytosed by host macrophages upon exposure where they persist, resulting in lengthy subclinical phas...

We were interested in the effects of TLR8 triggering of human monocyte-derived macrophages. We observed a striking upregulation of those genes. This work was done in the context of examining the effects of TLR8 triggering for the activation of HIV. We generated monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) by...
