PHAGOCYTOSIS OF HAEMOZOIN (MALARIAL PIGMENT) ENHANCES METALLOPROTEINASE-9 ACTIVITY IN HUMAN ADHERENT MONOCYTES: ROLE OF IL-1BETA AND 15-HETE

Phagocytosis of haemozoin (malarial pigment) enhances metalloproteinase-9 activity in human adherent monocytes: Role of IL-1beta and 15-HETE

Abstract Background It has been shown previously that human monocytes fed with haemozoin (HZ) or trophozoite-parasitized RBCs displayed increased matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) enzyme activity and protein/mRNA expression and increased TNF production, and showed higher matrix invasion ability.The present study utilized the same experimental mode
