IRAK-M Knockout Exacerbates Inflammation in Mice Infected with Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus: Observation in the Jejunum [PDF]
Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (SEZ) causes severe infections, but the role of the negative regulator interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase M (IRAK-M) in SEZ-induced inflammation is unclear.

IRAK-M Is Involved in the Pathogenesis of Early-Onset Persistent Asthma [PDF]
Asthma is a multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors. In the past decade, several loci and >100 genes have been found to be associated with the disease in at least one population. Among these loci, region 12q13-24 has been implicated in asthma etiology in multiple populations, suggesting that it harbors one or more asthma ...

Critical Role of IRAK-M in Regulating Antigen-Induced Airway Inflammation. [PDF]
Abstract Asthma is an airway epithelium disorder involving allergic lung inflammation. IL-1 receptor–associated kinase M (IRAK-M) is a negative regulator of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling on airway epithelial cells and macrophages, and it is known to limit the overproduction of cytokines during the inflammatory process.

IRAK-M alters the polarity of macrophages to facilitate the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
Intracellular bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), infects specifically macrophages as host cells. IRAK-M, a member of IRAK family, is a negative regulator in TLR signaling and specifically expresses in monocytes and macrophages. The role of IRAK-M in intracellular growth of M.

Glucocorticoids suppress inflammation via the upregulation of negative regulator IRAK-M. [PDF]
AbstractGlucocorticoids are among the most commonly used anti-inflammatory agents. Despite the enormous efforts in elucidating the glucocorticoid-mediated anti-inflammatory actions, how glucocorticoids tightly control overactive inflammatory response is not fully understood.

A new IRAK-M-mediated mechanism implicated in the anti-inflammatory effect of nicotine via α7 nicotinic receptors in human macrophages. [PDF]
Nicotine stimulation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) powerfully inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages and in experimental models of endotoxemia.

Macrophage subsets exhibit distinct E. coli-LPS tolerisable cytokines associated with the negative regulators, IRAK-M and Tollip. [PDF]
Macrophages (Mϕs) play a central role in mucosal immunity by pathogen sensing and instruction of adaptive immune responses. Prior challenge to endotoxin can render Mφs refractory to secondary exposure, suppressing the inflammatory response.

Tolerance and Cross-Tolerance following Toll-Like Receptor (TLR)-4 and -9 Activation Are Mediated by IRAK-M and Modulated by IL-7 in Murine Splenocytes. [PDF]
Immune suppression during critical illness predisposes to serious infections. We sought to determine the mechanisms regulating tolerance and cross-tolerance to common pro-inflammatory danger signals in a model that recapitulates the intact in vivo immune

Induction of IRAK-M Is Associated with Lipopolysaccharide Tolerance in a Human Endotoxemia Model [PDF]
Abstract Recent in vitro and murine in vivo studies have identified several potential LPS tolerance factors. In this study, we describe the expression kinetics of these LPS tolerance factors in standardized human endotoxemia models using i.v. LPS bolus administration.
