Connecting Mitochondria and Innate Immunity
Viral infection results in the activation of multiple signaling pathways, but how these pathways are coordinated remains a mystery. Two studies, one published in this issue of Cell (Seth et al., 2005) and the other in Molecular Cell (Xu et al., 2005), identify a new intracellular signaling protein that is required for activating type I interferon expression in response to viral infection. In ad...
متن کاملInnate immunity and the evolution of resistance to an emerging infectious disease in a wild bird.
Innate immunity is expected to play a primary role in conferring resistance to novel infectious diseases, but few studies have attempted to examine its role in the evolution of resistance to emerging pathogens in wild vertebrate populations. Here, we used experimental infections and cDNA microarrays to examine whether changes in the innate and/or acquired immune responses likely accompanied the...
متن کاملARF: Connecting senescence and innate immunity for clearance
We have found evidence suggesting that ARF and p53 are essential for tumor regression upon MYC inactivation through distinct mechanisms ARF through p53-independent affect, is required to for MYC to regulate the expression of genes that are required for both the induction of cellular senescence as well as recruitment of innate immune activation. Our observations have possible implications for me...
متن کاملConnecting type 1 and type 2 diabetes through innate immunity.
The escalating epidemic of obesity has driven the prevalence of both type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus to historically high levels. Chronic low-grade inflammation, which is present in both type 1 and type 2 diabetics, contributes to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. The accumulation of activated innate immune cells in metabolic tissues results in release of inflammatory mediators, in particu...
متن کاملInnate Immunity and Cardiometabolic Disease
Innate Immunity and Cardiometabolic Disease Innate immunity, an ancient form of host defense, is the body’s rapid, first-line response to environmental threats, such as microbial infection. In contrast to the adaptive immune system—which is present only in higher-order vertebrates, and mediated primarily by somatically generated receptors—the innate immune system relies inherently on basic dete...
