Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading killer of people with HIV infection. Limited studies have considered HIV infection associated changes to the soluble components of the innate immune system in the alveolar lining fluid (ALF) as a contributing factor t

Background Pyrin is a member of the TRIM family of proteins. Pyrin senses RhoA posttranslational modifications that inactivate RhoA, resulting in the formation of a pyrin inflammasome. Clostridium difficile TcdB toxin inactivates RhoA by glycation of

Rationale: Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by inflammation of bronchial epithelium. House dust mite (HDM) is a common allergen that triggers asthma. IκBζ is a newly recognized member of the NFκB family that is induced in lung epithe

Lung epithelial cell death is critical to acute lung injury. It is known that FasL plays a prominent role in lung cell death and may work in part through activation of the receptor interacting protein-2 (RIP2). RIP2 is serine/threonine kinase with a

Caspase-1 is an inflammatory protease which is required for activation of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, in addition to a role in a form of cell death termed pyroptosis. Caspase-1 is synthesized as a zymogen which

Inflammasomes play key roles in the innate immune response to pathogens and tissue injury. Inflammasome assembly involves two distinct steps; priming and activation, which together trigger caspase-1 to process and release IL-1β, IL-18 and in some se

IFNγ and caspase-1 have a reciprocal relationship. INFγ induces caspase-1 expression but caspase-1 is critical to the activation of the INFγ inducing factor IL-18. To investigate the INFγ inducing function of caspase-1 we characterized the INFγ

Burkholderia cenocepacia is the causative agent of the fatal lung disease, Cepacia syndrome. Epithelial cells are the first cells challenged in airway infections, yet, their pro-inflammatory response to B. cenocepacia remains under investigated. Here

The molecular networks controlling the DC programming in response to C-type lectin receptor agonists including beta-glucan, a fungal and bacterial component and ligand for the Dectin-1 receptor, are still poorly characterized. We studied these immuno

Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for proper immune function. We previously reported that zinc deficiency increases inflammation and mortality in response to polymicrobial sepsis. Here we report that a specific zinc transporter, SLC39A8 (ZI
