AngII Drives M1 Macrophage Polarization via Cx43/NF-κB Pathw
2026-04-17
This study demonstrates that angiotensin II (AngII) induces polarization of RAW264.7 macrophages to the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype through upregulation of connexin 43 (Cx43) and activation of the NF-κB (p65) pathway. By employing pharmacological inhibitors, including the selective connexin 43 hemichannel blocker Gap19, the authors delineate a causal link between Cx43 signaling and macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses, offering a mechanistic foundation for targeted intervention strategies.
