CD14 Controls the LPS-Induced Endocytosis of Toll-like Receptor 4

TL;DR: It is reported that the plasma membrane localized Pattern Recognition Receptor (PRR) CD14 is required for the microbe-induced endocytosis of TLR4, and this innate immune trafficking cascade illustrates how pathogen detection systems operate to induce both membrane transport and signal transduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Migratory, and not lymphoid-resident, dendritic cells maintain peripheral self-tolerance and prevent autoimmunity via induction of iTreg cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that, when autoantigen presentation is extended to all conventional mouse DCs, immature lymphoid tissue resident DCs are unable to induceAutoantigen-specific regulatory T (iTreg) cell conversion, which is an exclusive prerogative of steady-state migratory DCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD14 and NFAT mediate lipopolysaccharide-induced skin edema formation in mice

TL;DR: It is shown that tissue-resident DCs are the main source of PGE2 and the main controllers of tissue edema formation in a mouse model of LPS-induced inflammation, suggesting that the CD14/NFAT/mPGES-1 pathway represents a possible target for antiinflammatory therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Skin infections are eliminated by cooperation of the fibrinolytic and innate immune systems

TL;DR: This work shows that early activation of NFAT balances the two major phases of the innate response to Candida albicans skin infections: the protective containment and the elimination phases.
