Establishing a macrophage model with relevance for oral methacrylate monomer exposures: Attenuated Staphylococcus aureus-induced cytokine release from human macrophages

Retracted Article: Macrophage-derived exosomes mediate osteosarcoma cell behavior by activating AKT signaling

“…20 In the present study, we found that PMA activated THP1 promoted cell proliferation and the migration of osteosarcoma cells, indicating that PMA-activated THP1 promotes osteosarcoma progression. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) is widely used as a differentiated signal to stimulate macrophages, 21 and is involved in the secretion of exosomes. 22 Exosomes that are derived from macrophages have been reported to modulate tumor cell migration.…”

CdSe quantum dots labeled Staphylococcus aureus for research studies of THP-1 derived macrophage phagocytic behavior

“…40 In a word, phagocytosis of macrophages is a process which is considerately complex and the researches of macrophage phagocytic behaviors undoubtedly demand uorescence indicators that are stable to maintain minutes or even dozens of hours. 41,42…”
