Regulation and function of CCSP during pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in vivo.
Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP) is a 16-kDa homodimeric polypeptide secreted by respiratory epithelial cells in the conducting airways of the lung. To assess the role of CCSP in bacterial inflammation and to discern whether CCSP expression is influenced by bacterial infection, CCSP-deficient [(-/-)] gene-targeted mice and wild-type mice were given Pseudomonas aeruginosa intratracheally. Inf...
متن کاملUrokinase receptor-deficient mice have impaired neutrophil recruitment in response to pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.
Leukocytes express both urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and the urokinase receptor (uPAR, CD87). Evidence in vitro has implicated uPAR as a modulator of beta2 integrin function, particularly CR3 (CD11b/CD18, Mac-1). Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection has been demonstrated to recruit neutrophils to the pulmonary parenchyma by a beta2 integrin-dependent mechanism. We demonstrate that mic...
متن کاملCheating by type 3 secretion system-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa during pulmonary infection.
The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa expresses a type 3 secretion system (T3SS) strongly associated with bacterial virulence in murine models and human patients. T3SS effectors target host innate immune mechanisms, and T3SS-defective mutants are cleared more efficiently than T3SS-positive bacteria by an immunocompetent host. Nonetheless, T3SS-negative isolates are recovered from ma...
متن کاملCathelicidin Host Defence Peptide Augments Clearance of Pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection by Its Influence on Neutrophil Function In Vivo
Cathelicidins are multifunctional cationic host-defence peptides (CHDP; also known as antimicrobial peptides) and an important component of innate host defence against infection. In addition to microbicidal potential, these peptides have properties with the capacity to modulate inflammation and immunity. However, the extent to which such properties play a significant role during infection in vi...
متن کاملRole of flagella in pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa pulmonary infection.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains are opportunistic pathogens associated with infections in immunocompromised hosts and patients with cystic fibrosis. Like many other mucosal pathogens, P. aeruginosa cells express flagella which provide motility and chemotaxis toward preferred substrates but also provide a ligand for clearance by phagocytic cells. We tested the role of flagella in the initial stag...
