Expression of the Alpha8 Integrin Chain Facilitates Phagocytosis by Renal Mesangial Cells

Background/Aims: Healing of mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis involves degradation of excess extracellular matrix, resolution of hypercellularity by apoptosis and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Integrin receptors participate in the regulation of phagocytosis. In mice deficient for alpha8 in...
