Journal ArticleDOI

Immunolocalization of the mercurial-insensitive water channel and glycerol intrinsic protein in epithelial cell plasma membranes

TL;DR: The unexpected membrane colocalization of MIWC and GLIP in several tissues suggests an interaction at the molecular and/or functional levels in the urinary concentrating mechanism, cerebrospinal fluid absorption, ocular fluid balance, fecal dehydration, and airway humidification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization of MIWC and GLIP water channel homologs in neuromuscular, epithelial and glandular tissues

TL;DR: The tissue-specific expression of MIWC suggests a role in fluid transport and/or cell volume regulation in stomach and glandular epithelia, and orthogonal arrays of particles have been visualized by freeze-fracture electron microscopy, suggesting that MIWC may be the OAP protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active and passive immunization with the Pseudomonas V antigen protects against type III intoxication and lung injury.

TL;DR: It is shown that the P. aeruginosa homolog of the Yersinia V antigen, PcrV, is involved in the translocation of type III toxins, which ensured the survival of challenged mice and decreased lung inflammation and injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogenesis of septic shock in Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the importance of compartmentalization of inflammatory mediators in the lung, and the crucial role of bacterial cytotoxins in causing alveolar epithelial damage in the pathogenesis of acute septic shock in P. aeruginosa pneumonia.
