Monocytes and macrophages: Origin, homing, differentiation, and functionality during inflammation.
Heliyon 2024 April 31
Monocytes and macrophages are essential components of innate immune system and have versatile roles in homeostasis and immunity. These phenotypically distinguishable mononuclear phagocytes play distinct roles in different stages, contributing to the pathophysiology in various forms making them a potentially attractive therapeutic target in inflammatory conditions. Several pieces of evidence have supported the role of different cell surface receptors expressed on these cells and their downstream signaling molecules in initiating and perpetuating the inflammatory response. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of the monocyte and macrophage biology in inflammation, highlighting the role of chemoattractants, inflammasomes, and integrins in the function of monocytes and macrophages during events of inflammation. This review also covers the recent therapeutic interventions targeting these mononuclear phagocytes at the cellular and molecular levels.
