Anionic antimicrobial peptide-lysozyme interactions in innate pulmonary immunity.
The respiratory tract contains numerous antimicrobial factors necessary for normal innate pulmonary defense. Although many of these molecules reside in airway surface liquid (ASL) simultaneously, little information exists concerning antagonistic, additive, or synergistic interactions. Since both cationic lysozyme and anionic antimicrobial peptides (AP) are found in high concentrations in ASL, t...
متن کاملOzone and pulmonary innate immunity.
Ambient ozone (O(3)) is a commonly encountered environmental air pollutant with considerable impact on public health. Many other inhaled environmental toxicants can substantially affect pulmonary immune responses. Therefore, it is of considerable interest to better understand the complex interaction between environmental airway irritants and immunologically based human disease. The innate immun...
متن کاملPulmonary surfactant protein D: a novel link between innate and adaptive immunity.
DENDRITIC CELLS (DC) are the sentinels of the immune system, constantly surveying the environment for the presence of foreign invaders (13, 14). In addition, these cells function as a unique link between the innate and adaptive immune system by detecting pathogens and triggering T cell activation (8). DC exist at mucosal surfaces in an immature state. One hallmark of these cells is the high lev...
متن کاملInnate lymphoid cell regulation of adaptive immunity
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) were identified principally as non-T-cell sources of key cytokines, able to provide rapid and early production of these molecules in the support of tissue homeostasis, repair and response to infection. As our understanding of these cells has developed, it has become evident that ILCs can impact on lymphocytes through a range of mechanisms. Hence, an exciting area of...
متن کاملEpigenetic Regulation of Innate Immunity by microRNAs
The innate immune response, which is usually referred to as the first line of defense, protects the hosts against pathogenic micro-organisms. Some of the biomolecules released from the pathogens, such as proteins, lipoproteins and nucleic acids, which are collectively termed as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), elicit signaling mechanisms that trigger immune responses in the hosts...
