The impact of surface chemistry modification on macrophage polarization

Rostam HM, Singh S, Salazar F, Magennis P, Hook A, Singh T, Vrana NE, Alexander MR, Ghaemmaghami AM. Immunobiology. 2016 Nov;221(11):1237-46. doi: 10.1016/j.imbio.2016.06.010. 

 

Phagocytic activity of monocytes cultured on O2-PS40 and PS surfaces for 6 days. On Day 6 of culture, monocyte-derived macrophages on (A) O2-PS40 and (B) PS were treated with Alexa Fluor 488-labelled zymosan particles for 30 min at 37 ◦C, 5% CO2. Data shown are representative of 3 independent experiments.

Impact of surface chemistry and topography on the function of antigen presenting cells.

Rostam HM, Singh S, Vrana NE, Alexander MR, Ghaemmaghami AM. Biomaterials Sci. 2015 Mar;3(3):424-41. doi: 10.1039/c4bm00375f.

Different types of proteins adhere to biomaterials; β2 integrin from cells can mediate cell adherence at the biomaterial surface. IL-4 and IL-13 from mast cell and TH2 cell stimulate macrophage aggregation and FBGC formation, which secrete primary mediators for immune cells and fibroblasts, causing fibrogenesis and encapsulation of the implanted biomaterial.
