Alveolar epithelial cells orchestrate DC function in murine viral pneumonia.
Influenza viruses (IVs) cause pneumonia in humans with progression to lung failure. Pulmonary DCs are key players in the antiviral immune response, which is crucial to restore alveolar barrier function. The mechanisms of expansion and activation of pulmonary DC populations in lung infection remain widely elusive. Using mouse BM chimeric and cell-specific depletion approaches, we demonstrated th...
متن کاملExercise, alveolar macrophage function, and susceptibility to respiratory infection.
The effects of exercise on susceptibility to respiratory infection were determined by using a murine model of intranasal challenge with herpes simplex type 1 virus (HSV-1). Two doses of treadmill exercise were assessed: moderate short-term (30 min) exercise and prolonged strenuous exercise to voluntary fatigue (2.5-3.5 h). Morbidity and mortality among exercised and control mice were compared a...
متن کاملViral pneumonia in severe respiratory failure.
lence, the susceptibility factors of the affected patient groups, the predictive clinical features and the impact of vaccinations and available pharmaceutical and supportive treatments have provided lessons for preparedness for pandemics in the future [7] . Against this backdrop, we are reminded that, at an individual level, the diagnosis of viral pneumonia with particular reference to the demo...
متن کاملNeutrophils drive alveolar macrophage IL-1β release during respiratory viral infection.
BACKGROUND Alveolar macrophages are sentinels of the airways that must exhibit immune restraint to innocuous antigens but elicit a robust inflammatory response to pathogenic threats. How distinction between these dichotomous functions is controlled is poorly defined.Neutrophils are the first responders to infection, and we hypothesised that they may free alveolar macrophages from their hyporesp...
متن کاملReview of Non-Bacterial Infections in Respiratory Medicine: Viral Pneumonia.
Although bacteria are the main pathogens involved in community-acquired pneumonia, a significant number of community-acquired pneumonia are caused by viruses, either directly or as part of a co-infection. The clinical picture of these different pneumonias can be very similar, but viral infection is more common in the pediatric and geriatric populations, leukocytes are not generally elevated, fe...
