Murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) undergo DNA synthesis in response to growth factors such as colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF). These macrophages can also be "activated," but without subsequent DNA synthesis, by a number of other agents, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), concanavalin A, zymosan, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), and the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187. When BMM are treated with a range of stimuli, there is some, although not perfect, correlation between transient elevations in both c-myc mRNA and c-fos mRNA levels and increases in DNA synthesis. However, enhanced DNA synthesis and oncogene expression are readily dissociated from rises in inositol phosphates and, by implication, phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidyl inositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Superoxide formation in BMM can also be dissociated from the other responses and does not necessarily depend on protein kinase C activation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008262 Macrophage Activation The process of altering the morphology and functional activity of macrophages so that they become avidly phagocytic. It is initiated by lymphokines, such as the macrophage activation factor (MAF) and the macrophage migration-inhibitory factor (MMIF), immune complexes, C3b, and various peptides, polysaccharides, and immunologic adjuvants.

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.

D010716 Phosphatidylinositols Derivatives of phosphatidic acids in which the phosphoric acid is bound in ester linkage to the hexahydroxy alcohol, myo-inositol.

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
