Mucosal administration of flagellin induces innate immunity in the mouse lung.
Nonsurgical intratracheal instillation of 1 microg of purified, recombinant flagellin in several strains of mice stimulated a transient innate immune response in the lung characterized by the infiltration of neutrophils and the rapid production of tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 6, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and the chemokines keratinocyte-derived chemokine, MIP1alpha, and ...
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...
متن کاملFlagellin induces innate immunity in nonhost interactions that is suppressed by Pseudomonas syringae effectors.
Arabidopsis NONHOST1 (NHO1) is required for limiting the in planta growth of nonhost Pseudomonas bacteria but completely ineffective against the virulent bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000. However, the molecular basis underlying this observation remains unknown. Here we show that NHO1 is transcriptionally activated by flagellin. The nonhost bacterium P. syringae pv. tabaci lackin...
متن کاملMucosal administration of flagellin protects mice from Streptococcus pneumoniae lung infection.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia in infants and the elderly. Innate defenses are essential to the control of pneumococcal infections, and deficient responses can trigger disease in susceptible individuals. Here we showed that flagellin can locally activate innate immunity and thereby increase the resistance to acute pneumonia. Flagellin mucosal treatment improved S. pneumo...
متن کاملThe probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus casei induces activation of the gut mucosal immune system through innate immunity.
The mechanisms by which probiotic bacteria affect the immune system are unknown yet, but many of them are attributed to an increase in the innate or in the acquired immune response. To study the influence of the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus casei in the expression of receptors involved in the innate immune response, this bacterium was orally administered to BALB/c mice. After, they were sa...
