摘要：

Rapid phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is thought to limit the development of inflammation and autoimmune disease. Serum enhances macrophage phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Here we identified protein S as the factor responsible for serum-stimulated phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Protein S is best known for its anti-thrombotic activity, serving as a cofactor for protein C. Purified protein S was equivalent to serum in its ability to stimulate macrophage phagocytosis of apoptotic lymphoma cells, and immunodepletion of protein S eliminated the prophagocytic activity of serum. Protein S acted by binding to phosphatidylserine expressed on the apoptotic cell surface. Protein S is thus a multifunctional protein that can facilitate clearance of early apoptotic cells in addition to regulating blood coagulation.
