“…However, this possibility has been suggested using OPN-coated latex beads, which are internalized more efficiently than are BSA-coated beads (26). We demonstrate that OPN specifically binds to and mediates phagocytosis of bacteria.…”

“…Therefore, to ensure that the uptake was also mediated by OPN, we confirmed our data using OPN-coated beads. Whereas CD44 seems to be responsible for macrophage migration (16,49), it does not appear to be a receptor for phagocytosis of OPN-coated beads (26). This suggested that OPN has a hitherto unrecognized receptor for phagocytosis.…”

“…Leibovich and Ross (31) reported that elimination of local macrophages at the wound site impairs the wound-healing process, and impaired macrophage phagocytic function also leads to a defect in wound healing (54). Furthermore, macrophages might be activated at the wound site, where a large amount of the intracellular content is released into the extracellular space (29), and these macrophages produce cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines, which promote further recruitment of immune cells (7,41). These tissue macrophages may play important roles in wound healing immediately after surgery.…”

“…Several studies have shown that the absence of the tissue-remodelling enzyme, MMP9, following injury delays endochondral ossification and alters healing [37,38]. Similarly, the absence of osteopontin, encoded by SPP1 and believed to facilitate the uptake of mineralized matrix [39], causes altered tissue remodelling in mice and, consequently, reduced biomechanical properties [40]. Regulation of macrophage phenotype observed in this study was attributed predominantly to direct interactions between macrophages and the scaffolds, as only modest effects of scaffold-released soluble factors on macrophage activation were observed.…”
