Inflammation plays a central role in development of cardiovascular pathology, and enhanced understanding of the innate immune response will help direct novel therapeutic strategies to address heart disease. Host defense peptides (HDPs)—hereunder de

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an RNA virus that initiates infection in pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs), elicits weak immune responses, and establishes a persistent infection. To understand the role of dsRNA inte

Recent years have witnessed a surge in interest directed at innate immune mechanisms. Proper conceptualization of the key elements of innate immunity, however, is still a work in progress, because most research in immunology traditionally has been fo

PR-39 is a cathelicidin with antimicrobial properties, which acts as a suppressor of inflammation and exerts a number of additional activities. We investigated for the first time the effect of PR-39 on human cells, by addressing the possible interfer

Beta-defensins are a major group of mammalian antimicrobial peptides. Although more than 30 beta-defensins have been identified in humans, only one porcine beta-defensin has been reported. In this article we report the identification and initial char

Hepcidin is a liver-expressed iron-regulating hormone that also is an antimicrobial peptide. Here we report the full-length cDNA sequences of porcine hepcidin and liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide-2 (LEAP-2). Porcine hepcidin and LEAP-2 cDNA sequ

Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are a group of newly identified proteins with emerging functions in mammalian innate immunity. Here we report the identification and characterization of two long isoforms of porcine PGRP. Their complete cDNA

We tested the hypothesis that central angiotensin II (ANG II) administration would activate splenic sympathetic nerve discharge (SND), which in turn would alter splenic cytokine gene expression. Experiments were completed in sinoaortic nerve-lesioned

Triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) are a family of activating receptors expressed on neutrophils and monocytes. These receptors are involved in regulation of immunity by inducing the expression of inflammatory cytokines and adhesi

The porcine antimicrobial peptide, PR-39, has several activities beyond its function of killing bacteria. Here we report that PR-39 alters macrophage viability by inhibiting apoptosis, which was induced by nutrient depletion, LPS stimulation or campt
