The movement of a macrophage in response to an external stimulus. [GOC:jid]
Macrophage chemotaxis is a complex process that involves the directed migration of macrophages towards a chemical stimulus, known as a chemoattractant. This process is crucial for immune defense, wound healing, and tissue repair.
**Steps Involved in Macrophage Chemotaxis:**
1. **Chemoattractant Recognition:** Macrophages possess surface receptors that recognize and bind to chemoattractants. These receptors include Toll-like receptors (TLRs), chemokine receptors (e.g., CCR2, CCR5), and formyl peptide receptors (FPRs).
2. **Signal Transduction:** Binding of the chemoattractant to its receptor triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling events. This involves activation of G proteins, phospholipase C (PLC), and the production of second messengers like inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG).
3. **Cytoskeletal Rearrangement:** The signaling cascade leads to changes in the cytoskeleton, primarily involving actin polymerization. This process facilitates the formation of pseudopodia, finger-like projections that extend towards the chemoattractant source.
4. **Directional Movement:** Macrophages exhibit a polarized movement, with the leading edge extending towards the chemoattractant and the trailing edge retracting. This directed movement is driven by the coordinated assembly and disassembly of the actin cytoskeleton.
5. **Chemotaxis Receptor Desensitization:** As the macrophage approaches the chemoattractant source, the signaling pathway can be desensitized to prevent excessive migration and ensure precise targeting.
**Key Chemoattractants for Macrophages:**
* **Bacterial products:** Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), formyl peptides, and other bacterial components.
* **Cytokines:** Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and chemokines (e.g., CCL2, CCL5).
* **Complement proteins:** C5a and C3a.
* **Other molecules:** Platelet-activating factor (PAF), leukotrienes, and prostaglandins.
**Biological Significance of Macrophage Chemotaxis:**
* **Immune Surveillance:** Macrophages patrol tissues and migrate towards sites of infection or injury, where they can engulf pathogens and cellular debris.
* **Inflammation:** Chemotaxis plays a critical role in the recruitment of macrophages to inflamed tissues, where they contribute to the inflammatory response.
* **Wound Healing:** Macrophages facilitate wound healing by clearing debris, promoting angiogenesis, and stimulating tissue regeneration.
* **Tumor Immunity:** Macrophages can infiltrate tumors and contribute to anti-tumor immunity.
**Disorders Associated with Impaired Macrophage Chemotaxis:**
* **Chronic Infections:** Defects in chemotaxis can increase susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections.
* **Delayed Wound Healing:** Impaired macrophage migration can slow down wound repair processes.
* **Cancer Metastasis:** Reduced macrophage chemotaxis can contribute to the spread of cancer cells.
Macrophage chemotaxis is a complex and highly regulated process that is essential for maintaining immune homeostasis and tissue integrity.'

| clozapine | clozapine : A benzodiazepine that is 5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepine substituted by a chloro group at position 8 and a 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl group at position 11. It is a second generation antipsychotic used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. Clozapine: A tricylic dibenzodiazepine, classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent. It binds several types of central nervous system receptors, and displays a unique pharmacological profile. Clozapine is a serotonin antagonist, with strong binding to 5-HT 2A/2C receptor subtype. It also displays strong affinity to several dopaminergic receptors, but shows only weak antagonism at the dopamine D2 receptor, a receptor commonly thought to modulate neuroleptic activity. Agranulocytosis is a major adverse effect associated with administration of this agent. | benzodiazepine; N-arylpiperazine; N-methylpiperazine; organochlorine compound | adrenergic antagonist; dopaminergic antagonist; EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor; environmental contaminant; GABA antagonist; histamine antagonist; muscarinic antagonist; second generation antipsychotic; serotonergic antagonist; xenobiotic |
