Cutting Edge: Mycobacterium tuberculosis Induces Aerobic Glycolysis in Human Alveolar Macrophages That Is Required for Control of Intracellular Bacillary Replication.
(2016)Recent advances in immunometabolism link metabolic changes in stimulated macrophages to production of IL-1β, a crucial cytokine in the innate immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To investigate this pathway in ... -
A Common Variant in the Adaptor Mal Regulates Interferon Gamma Signaling.
(2016)Humans that are heterozygous for the common S180L polymorphism in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) adaptor Mal (encoded by TIRAP) are protected from a number of infectious diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), whereas those ... -
Circadian control of innate immunity in macrophages by miR-155 targeting Bmal1.
(2015)The circadian clock allows an organism to anticipate daily changes imposed by the environment. The response to LPS is altered depending on time of day; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this are unclear. We find ... -
Protective role for caspase-11 during acute experimental murine colitis.
(2015)Activation of the noncanonical inflammasome, mediated by caspase-11, serves as an additional pathway for the production of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. Noncanonical inflammasome activity occurs during ... -
Metformin inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species from NADH: Ubiquinone oxidoreductase to limit induction of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and boosts interleukin-10 (IL-10) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages
(2015)Background: The antidiabetic drug and mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) inhibitor metformin has anti-inflammatory activity. Results: Complex I inhibition decreases LPS-induced IL-1β and boosts IL-10. ...
