New insights into cathelicidin modulation of adaptive immunity.
Cathelicidins are a family of host defence peptides that are known to selectively alter innate immunity in response to infection and other changes in immune status. A study in this issue of the European Journal of Immunology elucidates a new role for mouse cathelin-related antimicrobial peptide in the adaptive immune response by clearly demonstrating for the first time that a cathelicidin can a...
متن کاملNew insights into upper airway innate immunity
BACKGROUND Protecting the upper airway from microbial infection is an important function of the immune system. Proper detection of these pathogens is paramount for sinonasal epithelial cells to be able to prepare a defensive response. Toll-like receptors and, more recently, bitter taste receptors and sweet taste receptors have been implicated as sensors able to detect the presence of these path...
متن کاملAdaptive immunity in atherogenesis: new insights and therapeutic approaches.
Many remarkable advances have improved our understanding of the cellular and molecular events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Chief among these is the accumulating knowledge of how the immune system contributes to all phases of atherogenesis, including well-known inflammatory reactions consequent to intimal trapping and oxidation of LDL. Advances in our understanding of the innate and a...
متن کاملEpigenetic Alterations in Cellular Immunity: New Insights into Autoimmune Diseases.
Epigenetic modification is an additional regulator in immune responses as the genome-wide profiling somehow fails to explain the sophisticated mechanisms in autoimmune diseases. The effect of epigenetic modifications on adaptive immunity derives from their regulations to induce a permissive or negative gene expression. Epigenetic events, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and microR...
متن کاملMicroreview New insights into innate immunity in Arabidopsis
The term innate immunity has been described as ‘. . . the surveillance system that detects the presence and nature of the infection and provides the first line of host defense . . .’ (Medzhitov, 2001; Nat Rev Immunol 1: 135–145). The strategy of innate immunity is based on the recognition of constitutive and conserved molecules from pathogens by specific receptors, triggering defence responses ...
