Autophagy and innate immunity.
munity-related GTPase M) and NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2)] results in the development of immune-related diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease [2] . Autophagy represents an ancient immune defense strategy present in flies. Importantly, as flies lack an adaptive immune system, the function of autophagy in cellintrinsic innate immunity can be...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Contribution of Hemocytes and Autophagy to Drosophila Antiviral Immunity.
UNLABELLED Antiviral immunity in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster involves the broadly active intrinsic mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) and virus-specific inducible responses. Here, using a panel of six viruses, we investigated the role of hemocytes and autophagy in the control of viral infections. Injection of latex beads to saturate phagocytosis, or genetic depletion of hemocyt...
متن کاملNucleated Teleost Erythrocytes Play an Nk-Lysin- and Autophagy-Dependent Role in Antiviral Immunity
With the exception of mammals, vertebrate erythrocytes are nucleated. Nevertheless, these cells are usually considered as mere carriers of hemoglobin. In this work, however, we describe for the first time an unrecognized role of teleost red blood cells (RBCs). We found that Nk-lysin (Nkl), an antimicrobial peptide produced by NK-cells and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, was also expressed in flatfish ...
متن کاملMitochondria and antiviral innate immunity.
Mitochondria, dynamic organelles that undergo continuous cycles of fusion and fission, are the powerhouses of eukaryotic cells. Recent research indicates that mitochondria also act as platforms for antiviral immunity in vertebrates. Mitochondrial-mediated antiviral immunity depends on activation of the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors signal transduction pathway and the par...
متن کاملAntiviral Immunity in Amphibians
Although a variety of virus species can infect amphibians, diseases caused by ranaviruses ([RVs]; Iridoviridae) have become prominent, and are a major concern for biodiversity, agriculture and international trade. The relatively recent and rapid increase in prevalence of RV infections, the wide range of host species infected by RVs, the variability in host resistance among population of the sam...
