Abstract
Understanding the impact of Neutrophils and Macrophages in the dynamic outcome of resolution vs uncontrolled response is still an open debate. Here, we develop a mathematical model that describe the dynamic of the innate immune response after an acute damage. Our model includes all the described processes that mediate this response, including the regulatory mechanisms carried out by type-2 Macrophages (M2). Additionally, we estimate the resolution indices to quantify the efficiency of resolution mechanisms by controlling the initial expansion of Neutrophils and/or the subsequent contraction kinetics of the cell response. We predict that the partial reduction of Neutrophil influx and the increase of type-1 Macrophage (M1)-mediated efferocytosis rate are the best strategies to control the Neutrophil initial expansion. On the other hand, the partial reduction of M1 cells influx or the increase of Neutrophil apoptosis rate are predicted as good strategies to accelerate the Neutrophils decay during the contraction phase of the response.
期刊介绍:
JLB is a peer-reviewed, academic journal published by the Society for Leukocyte Biology for its members and the community of immunobiologists. The journal publishes papers devoted to the exploration of the cellular and molecular biology of granulocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, lymphocytes, NK cells, and other cells involved in host physiology and defense/resistance against disease. Since all cells in the body can directly or indirectly contribute to the maintenance of the integrity of the organism and restoration of homeostasis through repair, JLB also considers articles involving epithelial, endothelial, fibroblastic, neural, and other somatic cell types participating in host defense. Studies covering pathophysiology, cell development, differentiation and trafficking; fundamental, translational and clinical immunology, inflammation, extracellular mediators and effector molecules; receptors, signal transduction and genes are considered relevant. Research articles and reviews that provide a novel understanding in any of these fields are given priority as well as technical advances related to leukocyte research methods.
