Inflammasomes as microbial sensors.
Members of the Nod-like receptor family and the adaptor ASC assemble into multiprotein platforms, termed inflammasomes, to mediate the activation of caspase-1 and subsequent secretion of IL-1beta and IL-18. Recent studies have identified microbial and endogenous molecules as well as possible mechanisms involved in inflammasome activation.
متن کاملEpithelial Intermediate Filaments: Guardians against Microbial Infection?
Intermediate filaments are abundant cytoskeletal components of epithelial tissues. They have been implicated in overall stress protection. A hitherto poorly investigated area of research is the function of intermediate filaments as a barrier to microbial infection. This review summarizes the accumulating knowledge about this interaction. It first emphasizes the unique spatial organization of th...
متن کاملMicrobial infection, inflammation and epithelial ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is the most common, and life-threatening, type of female gynecological cancer. The etiology of ovarian cancer remains unclear, and there are currently no effective screening or treatment methods for the disease. Microbial infection serves a marked function in inducing carcinogenesis. A number of studies have identified pelvic inflammatory disease as a risk factor for epithelial o...

متن کاملMicrobial adherence to vulvar epithelial cells.
Under uniform experimental conditions, different degrees of selective attachment of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans to epithelial cells of the labium majus, the labium minus, and the vagina were compared and contrasted with those found in studies with cells of the buccal and nasal mucosa and forearm skin by a novel analysis of adherence density. For both micro-organisms, the larger, ...
