The Nod1, Nod2, and Rip2 axis contributes to host immune defense against intracellular Acinetobacter baumannii infection.
Acinetobacter baumannii is a major extensively drug-resistant lethal human nosocomial bacterium. However, the host innate immune mechanisms controlling A. baumannii are not well understood. Although viewed as an extracellular pathogen, A. baumannii can also invade and survive intracellularly. However, whether host innate immune pathways sensing intracellular bacteria contribute to immunity agai...
متن کاملExpression of Toll-like receptor 4 in lungs of immune-suppressed rat with Acinetobacter baumannii infection
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is involved in the regulation of host responses to Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). The aim of the present study was to examine the function of TLR4 in lung inflammation in immune-suppressed rats with A. baumannii infection. A total of 72 Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into the control, A. baumannii infection and immune-suppressed infection gro...
متن کاملToll-Like Receptor Initiated Host Defense against Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular pathogen notable for its ability to establish a stable host-parasite relationship amongst a wide range of host species and in a large percentage of the human population. Toll-like receptor signaling through MyD88 is a critical pathway in initiating defense against this opportunistic protozoan and may also be a mediator of pathology during immune dysfunction...
متن کاملImportant role for Toll-like receptor 9 in host defense against meningococcal sepsis.
Neisseria meningitidis is a leading cause of meningitis and sepsis. The pathogenesis of meningococcal disease is determined by both bacterial virulence factors and the host inflammatory response. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are prominent activators of the inflammatory response, and TLR2, -4, and -9 have been reported to be involved in the host response to N. meningitidis. While TLR4 has been sug...
متن کاملImportance of Toll-like receptor 9 in host defense against M1T1 group A Streptococcus infections.
Timely recognition and elimination of invasive group A Streptococcus (GAS) by innate immunity is crucial to control infection. The intracellular pattern recognition receptor Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) promotes macrophage hypoxia-inducible factor-1α levels, oxidative burst and nitric oxide production in response to GAS. TLR9 contributes to GAS clearance in vivo in both localized cutaneous and s...
