CXCR1 Regulates Pulmonary Anti-Pseudomonas Host Defense.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a key opportunistic pathogen causing disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) and other lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the pulmonary host defense mechanisms regulating anti-P. aeruginosa immunity remain incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate, by studying an airway P. aeruginosa infection model, in vivo bioluminescence imaging,...
متن کاملMyeloid RelA regulates pulmonary host defense networks.
The pulmonary innate immune system in the respiratory tract eliminates inhaled pathogens. Several cell types contribute to host defense within a complex network. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of macrophages during pneumonia and in the regulation of the epithelial response to microorganisms. We performed lung infection models in mice lacking myeloid RelA/p65. To study the mechan...
متن کاملPulmonary host defense mechanisms.
T he major function of the respiratory system is to procure oxygen from the external environment and to eliminate carbon dioxide from the body at rates required by tissue metabolism. Unfortunately, ambient inspired air contains not only oxygen which is vital to survival, but also noxious gases and a multitude of particulates, including viable microorganisms, which the lungs must exclude to main...
متن کاملCollectins and pulmonary host defense.
The surfactant-associated proteins SP-A and SP-D are members of a family of collagenous host defense lectins, designated collectins. There is increasing evidence that these pulmonary epithelial-derived proteins are important components of the innate immune response to microbial challenge, and that they participate in other aspects of immune and inflammatory regulation within the lung. The colle...
متن کاملSurfactant protein-D and pulmonary host defense
Surfactant protein-D (SP-D) participates in the innate response to inhaled microorganisms and organic antigens, and contributes to immune and inflammatory regulation within the lung. SP-D is synthesized and secreted by alveolar and bronchiolar epithelial cells, but is also expressed by epithelial cells lining various exocrine ducts and the mucosa of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts...
