Coupling eNOS uncoupling to the innate immune response.
The endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has been well recognized for its central role in conserving vascular homeostasis by inducing quiescence of endothelial cells and adjacent vessel wall structures. For example, eNOS-derived NO can alter protein function by S-nitrosylation of cysteine residues and, in endothelial cells, patterns of S-nitrosylated transcriptional regulators ha...
متن کاملThe innate immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus.
Despite the development of new treatments, the mortality due to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis remains above 50%, reaching 95% in certain situations. The battle against Aspergillus fumigatus involves several components of the pulmonary innate immune system: cells, mediators, and natural antifungal molecules involved in the recognition and elimination of the fungus, thereby preventing coloniza...
متن کاملThe innate immune response to adjuvants dictates the adaptive immune response to autoantigens.
To elucidate the role of innate immunity in susceptibility to the animal model of multiple sclerosis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we induced EAE by immunization with spinal cord homogenate (SCH) plus complete Freund adjuvant or carbonyl iron in 3 inbred rat strains. Lewis are considered "susceptible," PVG/c-Rt7a (PVG) as "semisusceptible," and Brown Norway (BN) as "resistan...
متن کاملInnate immune response to Burkholderia mallei
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Burkholderia mallei is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes the highly contagious and often the fatal disease, glanders. With its high rate of infectivity via aerosol and recalcitrance toward antibiotics, this pathogen is considered a potential biological threat agent. This review focuses on the most recent literature highlighting host innate immune response to B. ...
متن کاملeNOS uncoupling in pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by high blood pressure and vascular remodelling in pulmonary arteries and subsequently right ventricular hypertrophy. Although several studies in animal models of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and pathological examinations of lung tissue obtained from PAH patients show occlusion of pulmonary arteries, the exact molecular mechanisms for vascul...
