TLR-4 Agonist Induces IFN-γ Production Selectively in Proinflammatory Human M1 Macrophages through the PI3K-mTOR- and JNK-MAPK-Activated p70S6K Pathway

TLR-4 Agonist Induces IFN-γ Production Selectively in Proinflammatory Human M1 Macrophages through the PI3K-mTOR- and JNK-MAPK-Activated p70S6K Pathway

IFN-γ, a proinflammatory cytokine produced primarily by T cells and NK cells, prompts macrophages and engages mechanisms to manage pathogens. Though there’s proof of IFN-γ manufacturing by murine macrophages, IFN-γ manufacturing by regular human macrophages and their subsets stays unknown. Herein, we present that human M1 macrophages generated by IFN-γ and IL-12- and IL-18-stimulated monocyte-derived…
