Primary macrophages isolated from hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) mice display altered morphology and F-actin cytoskeletal structures and reduced migration. The ability of phorbol myristyl acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C activator that has been reported to increase macrophage spreading and carcinoma cell motility, to rescue these hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) defects was tested. Although PMA-treated wild-type and hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) macrophages exhibited a similar flattened, spread phenotype, PMA did not rescue the hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) macrophage migration defect. Instead, both PMA-treated wild type and hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) macrophages were defective in spontaneous and chemotactic migration and tyrosine phosphorylation of the Cbl protooncoprotein was decreased in both. Moreover, c-cbl(-/-) macrophages displayed the same impairment of motility as hck(-/-)fgr(-/-) macrophages and a similar morphology with less polarization and more dorsal ruffling than wild-type macrophages. As Hck and Fgr expression and activity were not decreased in c-cbl(-/-) macrophages, these results suggest that Cbl is likely to be an important downstream mediator of the Src family kinase-regulated macrophage motility pathway.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D011518 Proto-Oncogene Proteins Products of proto-oncogenes. Normally they do not have oncogenic or transforming properties, but are involved in the regulation or differentiation of cell growth. They often have protein kinase activity.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
