Abstract EN
Granulomatous inflammation is a distinctive form of chronic inflammation in which predominant cells include macrophages, epithelioid cells, and multinucleated giant cells.
Mechanisms regulating granulomatous inflammation remain ill-understood.
CD154, the ligand of CD40, is a key mediator of inflammation.
CD154 confers a proinflammatory phenotype to macrophages and controls several macrophagic functions.
Here, we studied the contribution of CD154 in a mouse model of toxic liver injury with carbon tetrachloride and a model of absorbable suture graft.
In both models, granulomas are triggered in response to endogenous persistent liver calcified necrotic lesions or by grafted sutures.
CD154-deficient mice showed delayed clearance of carbon tetrachloride-induced liver calcified necrotic lesions and impaired progression of suture-induced granuloma.
In vitro, CD154 stimulated phagocytosis of opsonized erythrocytes by macrophages, suggesting a potential mechanism for the altered granulomatous inflammation in CD154KO mice.
These results suggest that CD154 may contribute to the natural history of granulomatous inflammation.
