Table 2. Potential effects of SHS/direct CS/direct or secondary nicotine on macrophage function against TB.
Macrophage phenotype and function | Effects of SHS/direct CS/direct or secondary nicotine |
---|---|
M1 phenotype | Skewed macrophages to the M2 phenotype (52)(H). Induced PD-L1/2, resulting in a deactivated phenotype (56,57,58)(M/H,H,H). |
Cell surface markers | Smoker AM had less expression of CD11a, CD71, and CD54; smoker AM have greater density of CD11c (but not percentage of AM positive for CD11c) (59)(H). |
Phagocytosis | Effect of SHS/direct CS on phagocytosis is conflicting, from no effect to inhibition of phagocytosis (40,45,60,61)(M,H,H,H). |
Efferocytosis | Inhibited efferocytosis (55,62,63)(M/H,H,H) |
Phagosome-lysosome fusion | Inhibited phagosome-lysosome fusion (64,65,66)(R,H,M/H) |
Autophagy | Inhibited autophagy by CS (51,67)(M/H,H) and nicotine (68)(M/H). |
Apoptosis | Inhibited apoptosis (69,70)(H,M/H). |
M, murine; H, human; M/H, murine and human; AM, alveolar macrophage.
