The receptor that tames the innate immune response.
Tissue injury, hypoxia and significant metabolic stress activate innate immune responses driven by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and other proinflammatory cytokines that typically increase damage surrounding a lesion. In a compensatory protective response, erythropoietin (EPO) is synthesized in surrounding tissues, which subsequently triggers antiinflammatory and antiapoptotic processes that de...
متن کاملRegulation of receptor-dependent activation of the innate immune response.
In the United States, >750,000 patients annually are thought to be at high risk for developing septic shock, with mortality rates reaching 60%. Thus, huge societal and financial costs are associated with this syndrome. Because of the high incidence and poor prognosis of septic shock, basic research has focused on the innate immune system for >2 decades. The pathophysiology of severe sepsis/shoc...
متن کاملRotavirus Antagonism of the Innate Immune Response
Rotavirus is a primary cause of severe dehydrating gastroenteritis in infants and young children. The virus is sensitive to the antiviral effects triggered by the interferon (IFN)-signaling pathway, an important component of the host cell innate immune response. To counteract these effects, rotavirus encodes a nonstructural protein (NSP1) that induces the degradation of proteins involved in reg...
متن کاملNeutrophils in the innate immune response.
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs or neutrophils) are an essential component of the human innate immune system. Circulating neutrophils are rapidly recruited to sites of infection by host- and/or pathogen-derived components, which also prime these host cells for enhanced microbicidal activity. PMNs bind and ingest microorganisms by a process known as phagocytosis, which typically triggers prod...
متن کاملCyclic Dinucleotides and the Innate Immune Response
Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) have been previously recognized as important secondary signaling molecules in bacteria and, more recently, in mammalian cells. In the former case, they represent secondary messengers affecting numerous responses of the prokaryotic cell, whereas in the latter, they act as agonists of the innate immune response. Remarkable new discoveries have linked these two patterns...
