Fig 7. Phagocytosis gene expression in peritoneal macrophages co-culturing with muriform cells and phagocytosis index.

Fig 7

Peritoneal macrophages (PM) co-culturing with muriform cells (MC) (A) induced the expression of several genes related to phagocytosis. Muriform cells displayed an elevated expression of Dectin-1 gene while reducing the expression of FcγR gene (A). By blocking Dectin-1 and FcγR with laminarin and FcγR Block, respectively, only muriform cells phagocytosis was impaired (C), while conidia (FC) phagocytosis was not affected (B). *P<0.05, compared to medium control.
