The role played by interleukin-10 in cytokine and chemokine dysregulation during secondary pneumococcal pneumonia after influenza.

چکیده
short-course zidovudine prophylaxis); that larger study also found no significant difference in survival between infants with subtype A infection and those with subtype D infection [6]. Therefore, although other studies have shown reduced survival among adults with subtype D infection, we have not observed an association between subtype D infection and reduced survival among infants. Further studies are needed to evaluate the relationships between HIV subtype and clinical outcome in HIV-infected infants.

Capsules of virulent pneumococcal serotypes enhance formation of neutrophil extracellular traps during in vivo pathogenesis of pneumonia
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are released by activated neutrophils to ensnare and kill microorganisms. NETs have been implicated in tissue injury since they carry cytotoxic components of the activated neutrophils. We have previously demonstrated the generation of NETs in infected murine lungs during both primary pneumococcal pneumonia and secondary pneumococcal pneumonia after primary ...
متن کاملLimited Anti-Inflammatory Role for Interleukin-1 Receptor Like 1 (ST2) in the Host Response to Murine Postinfluenza Pneumococcal Pneumonia
Interleukin-1 receptor like 1 (ST2) is a negative regulator of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. TLRs are important for host defense during respiratory tract infections by both influenza and Streptococcus (S.) pneumoniae. Enhanced susceptibility to pneumococcal pneumonia is an important complication following influenza virus infection. We here sought to determine the role of ST2 in primary in...
متن کاملIL-10 is an important mediator of the enhanced susceptibility to pneumococcal pneumonia after influenza infection.
Secondary pneumococcal pneumonia is a serious complication during and shortly after influenza infection. We established a mouse model to study postinfluenza pneumococcal pneumonia and evaluated the role of IL-10 in host defense against Streptococcus pneumoniae after recovery from influenza infection. C57BL/6 mice were intranasally inoculated with 10 median tissue culture infective doses of infl...
متن کاملActivation of IL-27 signalling promotes development of postinfluenza pneumococcal pneumonia
Postinfluenza pneumococcal pneumonia is a common cause of death in humans. However, the role of IL-27 in the pathogenesis of secondary pneumococcal pneumonia after influenza is unknown. We now report that influenza infection induced pulmonary IL-27 production in a type I IFN-α/β receptor (IFNAR) signalling-dependent manner, which sensitized mice to secondary pneumococcal infection downstream of...
متن کاملType I IFNs mediate development of postinfluenza bacterial pneumonia in mice.
Influenza-related complications continue to be a major cause of mortality worldwide. Due to unclear mechanisms, a substantial number of influenza-related deaths result from bacterial superinfections, particularly secondary pneumococcal pneumonia. Here, we report what we believe to be a novel mechanism by which influenza-induced type I IFNs sensitize hosts to secondary bacterial infections. Infl...
