Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells
The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage to the host tissues producing the release of danger signals that induce the recruitment of various cells, including innate immune cells such as macrophages (Mo), dendritic cell...
متن کاملPathogen recognition in the innate immune response.
Immunity against microbial pathogens primarily depends on the recognition of pathogen components by innate receptors expressed on immune and non-immune cells. Innate receptors are evolutionarily conserved germ-line-encoded proteins and include TLRs (Toll-like receptors), RLRs [RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene-I)-like receptors] and NLRs (Nod-like receptors). These receptors recognize pathoge...
متن کاملImmune Regulation during Helminth Infections
Helminth is a nonphylogenetic term that refers to multicellular animals (or metazoans) that have adopted a parasitic lifestyle in mammalian hosts. They are more commonly referred to as parasitic worms. These worms generally (with the exception of Strongyloides stercoralis) cannot replicate within the host, and they have evolved distinct methods to co-exist with their host through the activation...
متن کاملHelminth Infections, Type-2 Immune Response, and Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a disorder of energy utilization and storage, manifests as a cluster of conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity, and altered glucose metabolism, which increases the risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). A lifestyle that consists of overeating, highcalorie food intake, and no or irregular physical activity is a risk f...
متن کاملModulation of the Innate Immune Response through the Vagus Nerve.
The innate immune system is a defense mechanism that is of vital importance to our survival. However, excessive or unwanted activation of the innate immune system, which can occur in major surgery, sepsis, trauma, ischemia-reperfusion injury and autoimmune diseases, can lead to damage of the kidneys and other organs. Therefore, therapeutic approaches aimed at attenuating the innate immune respo...
