The In Vitro Immunomodulatory Effects of Gold Nanocomplex on THP-1-Derived Macrophages by Duaa Abuarqoub, Nouf N. Mahmoud, Rand Zaza, Rana Abu-Dahab, Enam A. Khalil, Dima A. Sabbah

“…We can conclude that our nanocomplex is a potent effector that prevents tumoral progression by activating three main immunological strategies: switching the surface expression profile of the activated macrophages into a proinflammatory M1-like phenotype, downregulating the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, and upregulating the expression level of anti-inflammatory cytokines.…”
