Naturally derived cytokine peptides limit virus replication and severe disease during influenza A virus infection

Clinical & Translational Immunology, 2023
Objectives Novel host‐targeted therapeutics could treat severe influenza A virus (IAV) infections, with reduced risk of drug resistance. LAT8881 is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring C‐terminal fragment of human growth hormone.

An ocular Th1 immune response promotes corneal nerve damage independently of the development of corneal epitheliopathy

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
Proper sight is not possible without a smooth, transparent cornea, which is highly exposed to environmental threats. The abundant corneal nerves are interspersed with epithelial cells in the anterior corneal surface and are instrumental to corneal ...

Targeting RIP Kinases in Chronic Inflammatory Disease

Biomolecules, 2021
Chronic inflammatory disorders are characterised by aberrant and exaggerated inflammatory immune cell responses. Modes of extrinsic cell death, apoptosis and necroptosis, have now been shown to be potent drivers of deleterious inflammation, and mutations

Pleiotropic functions of the tumor- and metastasis-suppressing Matrix Metalloproteinase-8 in mammary cancer in MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice [PDF]

, 2015
Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8; neutrophil collagenase) is an important regulator of innate immunity which has onco-suppressive actions in numerous tumor ...

Expression and Localization of Paneth Cells and Their α-Defensins in the Small Intestine of Adult Mouse

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Paneth cells contribute to intestinal innate immunity by sensing bacteria and secreting α-defensin. In Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice, α-defensin termed cryptdin (Crp) in Paneth cells consists of six major isoforms, Crp1 to 6.

HIV and innate immunity ? a genomics perspective [PDF]

, 2010
Innate immunity is a theme of increasing interest for HIV research. However, the term is overstretched to cover biological barriers, cellular systems, soluble factors, signaling pathways, and effectors and is inconsistently applied.

Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]

, 2018
Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

Innate immune defects in HIV permissive cell lines. [PDF]

, 2016
Primary CD4+ T cells and cell lines differ in their permissiveness to HIV infection. Impaired innate immunity may contribute to this different phenotype. We used transcriptome profiling of 1503 innate immunity genes in primary CD4+ T cells and permissive

MLKL-Driven Inflammasome Activation and Caspase-8 Mediate Inflammatory Cell Death in Influenza A Virus Infection

mBio, 2023
Influenza A virus (IAV) triggers multiple programmed cell death pathways, including MLKL-dependent necroptosis, caspase-8-dependent apoptosis, and caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis in myeloid cells.

Innate Immunity to Adenovirus [PDF]

Human Gene Therapy, 2014
Human adenoviruses are the most widely used vectors in gene medicine, with applications ranging from oncolytic therapies to vaccinations, but adenovirus vectors are not without side effects. In addition, natural adenoviruses pose severe risks for immunocompromised people, yet infections are usually mild and self-limiting in immunocompetent individuals.
