Activation of the innate immune response by endogenous retroviruses.
The human genome comprises 8 % endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), the majority of which are defective due to deleterious mutations. Nonetheless, transcripts of ERVs are found in most tissues, and these transcripts could either be reverse transcribed to generate ssDNA or expressed to generate proteins. Thus, the expression of ERVs could produce nucleic acids or proteins with viral signatures, much ...

متن کاملInnate Immune Sensing of DNA
When a pathogen attacks, the immune system rapidly mobilizes host defenses in order to reduce the microbial burden and limit damage to the host [1]. Innate immunity is the first line of defense and relies on germ line–encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as the Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which sense microbial products that are not normally found on or in mammalian cells. The consi...
متن کاملInnate Immune DNA-Sensing Pathways
Recognition of foreign DNA in intracellular compartments or in the cytoplasm sounds an alarm bell signaling pathogenic invasion. In response, innate immune DNA-sensing pathways launch an antimicrobial type I interferon (IFN) response, which becomes damaging to the host if unregulated or inappropriately activated by self-DNA. This Select highlights recent insights into activation and regulation ...
متن کاملInnate Sensing of HIV-Infected Cells
Cell-free HIV-1 virions are poor stimulators of type I interferon (IFN) production. We examined here how HIV-infected cells are recognized by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and by other cells. We show that infected lymphocytes are more potent inducers of IFN than virions. There are target cell-type differences in the recognition of infected lymphocytes. In primary pDCs and pDC-like cells, ...
