Fig. 6. Ferroptotic cells activate macrophages’ functions and recruitment.

Fig. 6

In dealing with ferroptotic cells, TLR2 on macrophages identifies and binds to SAPE-OOH on the surface of ferroptotic cells to enhance engulfment. HMGB1 released by dying cells can interact with AGRE on macrophages in order to mediate inflammation reactions in macrophages. Some molecules like CCL2 or CCL7 can initiate the recruitment and chemotaxis of macrophages for intensity of immune reactions.
