The “eat me” signals calreticulin and SLAMF7. a Stressed and dying tumor cells expose calreticulin on the surface of the cell from ER, and cell surface calreticulin binds to LRP1 on the phagocyte. LRP1 may recruit GULP1, an adapter protein LRP1 for regulating further phagocytic processes. b SLAMF7 on macrophage binds to MAC-1 on the macrophage, and MAC-1 interacts with FCRγ and DAP12 recruiting Src family Syk, and Btk kinases and promoting phagocytosis. SLAMF7 on macrophages combining with SIRPα on macrophage may affect the CD47-SIRPα axis, SLAMF7 in hematological cancers binds SLAMF7 on phagocytes and is necessary for phagocytosis
