Phagocyte respiratory burst activates macrophage erythropoietin signalling to promote acute inflammation resolution
Abstract
Hypoxia induced during inflammation promotes the resolution phase. Here the authors show that the hypoxia results from the respiratory burst in myeloid cells, and induces local EPO production and signaling, which enhances macrophage phagocytosis of debris and migration to draining lymph nodes to promote resolution.
