Macrophages and endothelial cells are functionally linked through the inflammatory response, where macrophages release cytokines like IL-1 and TNF-α to activate endothelial cells [1], [2], and both cell types contribute to the production of IL-6 [3], [4]. Additionally, macrophages release growth factors that stimulate endothelial cells during wound healing [5], and both are activated during cytokine storms [6], [7].

procedureMacrophages and endothelial cells produce large amounts of IL-6 after activation, which activates T cells and other immune cells, creating a positive feedback loop that results in a cytokine storm, the release of additional cytokines and chemokines, and the upregulation of acute phase proteins.
claimIL-6 is produced by monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, and upon stimulation, it is secreted by macrophages, T cells, B cells, mast cells, glial cells, eosinophils, keratinocytes, and granulocytes.
claimActivated macrophages, dendritic cells, other immune cells, and endothelial cells release pro-inflammatory cytokines.
claimThe release of IFN-γ or TNF-α during a cytokine storm leads to the activation of macrophages, dendritic cells, other immune cells, and endothelial cells.
procedureIn the pathogenesis of a cytokine storm, the activation of T cells or the lysis of immune cells induces the release of IFN-γ or TNF-α, which subsequently activates macrophages, dendritic cells, other immune cells, and endothelial cells.

claimCytokines released by macrophages and dendritic cells (such as IL-1 and TNF-α) induce endothelial cells at the injury site to release Selectins and Integrins, which stimulate the chemotaxis and diapedesis of circulating leukocytes.
claimIn response to foreign or self-antigens, tissue immune cells like macrophages and dendritic cells release cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-α, which induce endothelial cells at the injury site to release Selectins and Integrins to stimulate leukocyte chemotaxis and diapedesis.

claimThe inflammation phase of wound healing occurs between 1 and 6 days post-injury and is characterized by the influx of immune cells, starting with neutrophils clearing debris and bacteria, followed by macrophages that remove debris and release growth factors to stimulate fibroblast and endothelial cell activity.
