Pathogen Recognition and Innate Immunity
Microorganisms that invade a vertebrate host are initially recognized by the innate immune system through germline-encoded pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs). Several classes of PRRs, including Toll-like receptors and cytoplasmic receptors, recognize distinct microbial components and directly activate immune cells. Exposure of immune cells to the ligands of these receptors activates intracell...
متن کاملIL-26 Kick-Starts Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that afflicts millions of people worldwide, wherein cells of the immune system attack tissues that seem otherwise healthy, causing pain and tissue damage. Usually the immune cells attack the joints, although other tissues may come under attack as well. What instigates this assault, and what governs its spread to previously unaffected tissues, i...
متن کاملPathogen-induced autophagy signaling in innate immunity.
Innate immunity induces rapid responses to fight invading pathogens. To eliminate intracellular bacteria or viruses, innate cellular responses lead to the production of nuclear factor-κB-dependent inflammatory cytokines, inflammasome activation, type I interferon synthesis, and/or eventually death of the infected cells. Autophagy emerged as another component of innate immunity, as it offers an ...
متن کاملPhagocytosis, Innate Immunity, and Host–Pathogen Specificity
In mammals, phagocytosis is essential for a variety of biological events, including tissue remodeling and the continuous clearance of dying cells. Furthermore, phagocytosis represents an early and crucial event in triggering host defenses against invading pathogens, which is the focus of this commentary. Phagocytosis comprises a series of events, starting with the binding and recognition of par...
متن کاملInnate and Specific Mucosal Immunity
A large mucosal immune system controlled by unique, organ-specific regulations operates alongside and separate from the peripheral or systemic immune system. This local immune system is seen as a major interface between the innate and the specific immune system. We have been interested in the immunopathogenesis of a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) developing in CD4+ T cell-transplanted...
