Wnt5a Induces a Tolerogenic Phenotype of Macrophages in Sepsis and Breast Cancer Patients
1 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
A well-orchestrated inflammatory reaction involves the induction of effector functions and, at a later stage, an active downregulation of this potentially harmful process. In this study we show that under proinflammatory conditions the noncanonical Wnt protein, Wnt5a, induces immunosuppressive macrophages. The suppressive phenotype induced by Wnt5a is associated with induction of IL-10 and inhibition of the...
