Human urinary exosomes as innate immune effectors.
Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles, approximately 50 nm in diameter, derived from the endocytic pathway and released by a variety of cell types. Recent data indicate a spectrum of exosomal functions, including RNA transfer, antigen presentation, modulation of apoptosis, and shedding of obsolete protein. Exosomes derived from all nephron segments are also present in human urine, where the...
متن کاملInnate Immune Effectors in Mycobacterial Infection
Tuberculosis, which is caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains one of the major bacterial infections worldwide. Host defense against Mtb is mediated by a combination of innate and adaptive immune responses. In the last 15 years, the mechanisms for activation of innate immunity have been elucidated. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been revealed to be critical for the r...
متن کاملEffectors and determinants of the innate and adaptive immune responses
Introduction Multicellular organisms must protect themselves against a plethora of exogenous enemies surrounding them. In the case of microbes, the body relies on several, scaled strategies. Firstly, there are external membranes, such as the skin and mucous membranes, that ward offmost potential intruders. The physical barriers are highly efficient, but not perfect; at any time, a few potential...
متن کاملExosomes: Mediators of Immune Regulation
Extracellular Vesicles, including exosomes, are small membrane fragments released from many cell types, like Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). They were recognized as a mechanism of intercellular communication. They can transfer proteins, lipids and nucleic acids to other cells. Thus, they have many physiological (angiogenesis, coagulation and tissue repair, etc.) and pathological (e.g. in autoimm...
متن کاملSystems-Biology Approaches to Discover Anti-Viral Effectors of the Human Innate Immune Response
Virus infections elicit an immediate innate response involving antiviral factors. The activities of some of these factors are, in turn, blocked by viral countermeasures. The ensuing battle between the host and the viruses is crucial for determining whether the virus establishes a foothold and/or induces adaptive immune responses. A comprehensive systems-level understanding of the repertoire of ...
