Synergy between Toll-like receptor (TLR) and adenosine A 2A receptor (A 2A R) signaling switches macrophages from production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-␣ to production of the angiogenic growth factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We show in this study that this switch critically requires signaling through MyD88, IRAK4, and TRAF6. Macrophages from mice lacking MyD88 (MyD88 ؉/؉ wounds and stimulated angiogenesis but had no significant effect on healing of MyD88 ؊/؊ wounds. These results suggest that the synergistic interaction between TLR and A 2A R signaling observed in vitro that switches macrophages from an inflammatory to an angiogenic phenotype also plays a role in wound healing in vivo.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
