RING finger E3 ligase PPP1R11 regulates TLR2 signaling and innate immunity

eLife, 2016
Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is a pattern recognition receptor that recognizes many types of PAMPs that originate from gram-positive bacteria. Here we describe a novel mechanism regulating TLR2 protein expression and subsequent cytokine release through ...

Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibition with simvastatin in acute lung injury to reduce pulmonary dysfunction (HARP-2) trial : study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

, 2012
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common devastating clinical syndrome characterized by life-threatening respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and multiple organ failure.

Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2013
To the Editor: Slutsky and Ranieri (Nov. 28 issue)(1) note that ventilator-induced lung injury may be minimized by means of lung-protective mechanical ventilation or by avoiding it altogether with the use of extracorporeal life-support techniques(2) such as by extracorporeal removal of carbon dioxide or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO ...

Interleukin-36 Cytokines in Infectious and Non-Infectious Lung Diseases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The IL-36 family of cytokines were identified in the early 2000’s as a new subfamily of the IL-1 cytokine family, and since then, the role of IL-36 cytokines during various inflammatory processes has been characterized.

Lung Injury and Oxidoreductases

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1998
Acute lung injury represents a wide spectrum of pathologic processes, the most severe end of the spectrum being the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Reactive oxygen intermediates have been implicated as important in the pathobiochemistry of acute lung injury.

E3 Ligase Subunit Fbxo15 and PINK1 Kinase Regulate Cardiolipin Synthase 1 Stability and Mitochondrial Function in Pneumonia

Cell Reports, 2014
Summary: Acute lung injury (ALI) is linked to mitochondrial injury, resulting in impaired cellular oxygen utilization; however, it is unknown how these events are linked on the molecular level. Cardiolipin, a mitochondrial-specific lipid, is generated by

Phagocytosis is a primary determinant of pulmonary clearance of clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionKlebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a common cause of hospital-acquired pneumonia. Although previous studies have suggested that evasion of phagocytic uptake is a virulence determinant of Kp, few studies have examined phagocytosis sensitivity in ...
