Abstract
Efferocytosis is the physiological process of phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells by both professional phagocytic cells, such as macrophages, and non-professional phagocytic cells, such as epithelial cells. This process is crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis in normal physiology. Any defects in efferocytosis can lead to pathological consequences and result in inflammatory diseases. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles (MVs), and apoptotic vesicles (ApoVs), play a crucial role in proper efferocytosis. These EVs can significantly impact efferocytosis by affecting the polarization of macrophages and impacting calreticulin (CRT), TAM receptors, and MFG-E8. With further knowledge of these effects, new treatment strategies can be proposed for many inflammatory diseases caused by efferocytosis disorders. This review article aims to investigate the role of EVs during efferocytosis and its potential clinical applications in inflammatory diseases.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry is to publish short reviews on the important recent developments in medicinal chemistry and allied disciplines.
Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry covers all areas of medicinal chemistry including developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, drug targets, and natural product research and structure-activity relationship studies.
Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry is an essential journal for every medicinal and pharmaceutical chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important developments.
