Editorial: NLRP3: immune activator or modulator?
The immune system fights pathogens using innate and adaptive immune mechanisms. The innate immune system is comprised of cellular receptors, called PRRs, that detect PAMPs present on invading pathogens, including viruses [1]. PRRs include sensors, such as TLRs, NLRs, RLRs, and ALRs, to name just a few. The initial innate immune response produces type I and type III IFNs, in addition to proinfla...
متن کاملVitamin D: modulator of the immune system.
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)), the active form of vitamin D, is known to regulate calcium and phosphorus metabolism, thus being a key-player in bone-formation. However 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) also has a physiological role beyond its well-known role in skeletal homeostasis. Here, we describe 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) as an immunomodulator targeting various immune cells, including monocytes, macroph...
متن کاملMalnutrition: Modulator of Immune Responses in Tuberculosis
Nutrition plays a major role in the management of both acute and chronic diseases, in terms of body's response to the pathogenic organism. An array of nutrients like macro- and micro-nutrients, vitamins, etc., are associated with boosting the host's immune responses against intracellular pathogens including mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb). These nutrients have an immunomodulatory effects in c...
متن کاملLactoferrin as a natural immune modulator.
Lactoferrin, an iron-binding glycoprotein, is a cell-secreted mediator that bridges innate and adaptive immune function in mammals. It is a pleiotropic molecule that directly assists in the influence of presenting cells for the development of T-helper cell polarization. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of research regarding the role of lactoferrin in maintaining immune homeostas...
متن کاملAutophagy as an Innate Immune Modulator
Autophagy is a fundamental cellular process in eukaryotic cells for maintaining homeostasis by degrading cellular proteins and organelles. Recently, the roles of autophagy have been expanded to immune systems, which in turn modulate innate immune responses. More specifically, autophagy acts as a direct effector for protection against pathogens, as well as a modulator of pathogen recognition and...
