Macrophage and Retinal Pigment Epithelium Phagocytosis: Apoptotic Cells and Photoreceptors Compete for αvβ3 and αvβ5 Integrins, and Protein Kinase C Regulates αvβ5 Binding and Cytoskeletal Linkage

Noninflammatory monocyte macrophages use αvβ3 integrin to selectively bind apoptotic cells, initiating their phagocytic removal. In a related process, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) employs αvβ5 integrin to recognize spent photoreceptor outer segment particles (OS). Here, we show that apoptoti...
