ROS-mediated M1 polarization-necroptosis crosstalk involved in Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate-induced chicken liver injury by Guangxing Li, Menglin Wu, Kaiting Chen, Yue Xu, Xiandan Zhang, Yang Chen, Hong Zhang, Ruili Zhang, Xiaodan Huang

“…In addition, there was increased infiltration of liver macrophages (CD68), upregulation of M1 polarization indicators (CD86, iNOS, IL-1β, TNF-α) and downregulation of M2 polarization indicators (CD163, Arg-1, IL-10, TGF-β) and appearance of necroptosis (RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL). The vitro experiments confirmed the addition of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) inhibited M1 polarization and necroptosis. …”
