Bidirectional crosstalk via IL-6, PGE2 and PGD2 between murine myofibroblasts and alternatively activated macrophages enhances anti-inflammatory phenotype in both cells.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) are important cells in the resolution of inflammation and tissue repair. We examined the impact of myofibroblasts, a vital cell in wound healing and tissue repair, on the development and function of AAMs. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: The interaction between AAMs and myofibroblasts was tested using conditioned medium from murine dermal myofibroblasts and...
