    Applications
    MERTK is a protein that plays a role in various diseases and conditions. In cholestatic liver diseases, macrophages express MERTK abundantly, suggesting its involvement in the disease pathology. In myocardial infarction, it was found that mice lacking PGRN, a protein that interacts with MERTK, showed increased mortality, cardiac fibrosis, and arrhythmia after heart attack. This suggests that MERTK and PGRN play a role in cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction. In the context of classical swine fever virus, MERTK is identified as one of the attachment factors for the virus. Additionally, in cancer and autoimmune diseases, MERTK is involved in the regulation of myeloid cells, such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and tolerogenic dendritic cells (TolDCs), which have suppressive or tolerogenic effects on the immune system. Understanding the signaling pathways that induce MERTK expression and activity in these cells could help develop therapeutic approaches for cancer patients and autoimmune diseases. In papillary thyroid cancer, MERTK is part of potential ligand-receptor pairs involved in the interactions between fibroblasts/endothelial cells and tumor cells in the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, MERTK is implicated in the heterogeneity of thyroid cancer and could be used as a diagnostic biomarker. Overall, MERTK has important implications in liver diseases, cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction, viral infections, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.

    Published Data

    Fig.1 Effects of MERTK knockdown on cell growth.

    A colorimetric assay was used to assess the proliferation of OCI/AML5 and TMD7 cells transfected with 40 nM of siRNA against MERTK after 3 and 5 days, respectively. The data are shown as a percentage of the mean optical density of MERTK-knockdown cells normalized to that of vector control cells. *Statistically significant difference at p0.05 versus control

    Research Highlights

    E, Christy; F, Nicholas. "Macrophages make a difference in cholestatic liver diseases - but how?" Journal of hepatology, 2023.
    The article is an editorial that discusses how macrophages, immune cells that accumulate around bile ducts, contribute to inflammation and fibrosis in cholestatic liver diseases such as PBC and PSC. It focuses on how a transcription factor called ARID3A inhibits a receptor called MERTK, which mediates macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis). The article suggests that targeting ARID3A to enhance macrophage efferocytosis may be a novel way to ameliorate liver injury and promote liver repair.

    Sasaki, Takahiro. et al. "Progranulin deficiency exacerbates cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction." FASEB bioAdvances, 2023.
    Myocardial infarction (MI) is a fatal disease that results in irreversible damage to heart muscle cells and subsequent cardiac changes. Previous studies have demonstrated the protective effects of recombinant progranulin (PGRN) against myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury. However, the role of PGRN in post-MI remains unclear. In this study, the effects of PGRN deficiency on cardiac remodeling after MI were investigated by analyzing histology and protein expression in both wild-type and PGRN-knockout mice. The results showed that PGRN expression increased in the heart, particularly in the border areas, in the days following MI. Conversely, PGRN-knockout mice exhibited higher mortality rates, increased fibrosis in the left ventricle, and more severe arrhythmia after MI. PGRN-knockout also led to an increase in levels of CD206 and MerTK expression, as well as macrophage infiltration in the myocardium, attributed to a larger subpopulation of CCR2+ and non-CCR2+ macrophages. To further understand this process, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were treated with LPS,Äâ+,ÄâIFN-Œ≥ and IL-4 to assess mRNA levels and phagocytic abilities. These findings suggest a role for PGRN in modulating post-MI cardiac remodeling.
