β1-integrin mediates pressure-stimulated phagocytosis

Abstract: Background Extracellular pressure alterations in infection, inflammation, or positive pressure ventilation may influence macrophage phagocytosis. We hypothesized that pressure modulates β1-integrins to stimulate phagocytosis. Methods We assayed fibroblast phagocytosis of fluorescent latex beads at ambient or 20mmHg increased pressure, and macrophage integrin phosphorylation by Western blot. Results Pressure did not alter phagocytosis in β1-integrin-null GD25-fibroblasts, but stimulated phagocytosis in fibr… Show more

“…Although the stimulation of microglial phagocytosis by pressure has not previously been described, we and others have previously described the ability of increases in extracellular pressure to stimulate the uptake of serum-opsonized latex beads, IgG complex, tumor cell fragments, and Klebsiella pneumonia 29, 3027, 28, 40, 42, 43, 60 . The mechanisms of this effect, and whether more specific microglial endocytosis is similarly affected by increased extracellular pressure awaits study.…”

“…30 Activation of alveolar macrophages by pressure has also been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo 4041 , including a trend toward increased macrophage phagocytosis of Klebsiella pneumonia in response to pressure and significant cytokine activation 40 Fibroblasts and dendritic cells also display increased phagocytosis in response to increased pressure, although propofol was not investigated in those studies. 42, 43 . Increased extracellular pressure increases phagocytosis in monocytes and macrophages by inhibiting FAK and ERK.…”

“…Ingber (10) postulated that physical forces like pressure change the conformation of the cytoskeleton and the signal molecules associated with it. We have previously identified numerous intracellular kinases modulated by pressure in epithelial cells (8)(22), macrophages (21) monocytes (21) and fibroblasts (4). Thus it would not be unreasonable to hypothesize that alcohol-pressure interactions might be mediated by structural conformational changes in one or more intracellular signal molecules.…”

“…We studied 30 mm Hg, resembling in vivo ICP after TBI. We previously described effects of similar pressures on cell proliferation and signaling in microglial cells (24), epithelial cells (8, 22), macrophages (21), monocytes (21) and fibroblasts (4). Pressures of 15 mmHg and 30 mmHg above ambient have similar effects on microglial cells (24).…”

“…Markers for M1 and M2 macrophages have been quantified in unfractionated cells harvested from wounds to determine their influence on wound healing [22, 23]. Several physical factors have been reported to regulate macrophage polarization, including cell shape [24], scaffold pore size [25, 26], and mechanical forces applied to scaffolds, which stimulate inflammation through activation of focal adhesions [18, 27] and integrins [28]. However, the effects of substrate modulus on macrophage polarization have not been extensively investigated [29, 30].…”
