Journal ArticleDOI
Innate Immune Response of Human Alveolar Macrophages during Influenza A Infection
Jieru Wang,Mrinalini P. Nikrad,Emily A. Travanty,Bin Zhou,Tzulip Phang,Bifeng Gao,Taylor Alford,Yoko Ito,Piruz Nahreini,Kevan L. Hartshorn,David E. Wentworth,Charles A. Dinarello,Robert J. Mason +12 more
TL;DR: F influenza infection induced an extensive proinflammatory response in human AM and targeting local components of innate immune response might provide a strategy for controlling influenza A infection-induced pro inflammatory response in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innate Immune Response to Influenza A Virus in Differentiated Human Alveolar Type II Cells
Jieru Wang,Mrinalini P. Nikrad,Tzulip Phang,Bifeng Gao,Taylor Alford,Yoko Ito,Karen E. Edeen,Emily A. Travanty,Beata Kosmider,Kevan L. Hartshorn,Robert J. Mason +10 more
TL;DR: Insight is provided into influenza-induced innate immunity in differentiated human ATII cells, and it is demonstrated that the alveolar epithelium is a critical part of the initial innate immune response to influenza.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a Novel Glucokinase Activator in Rat and Mouse Models
Min Lu,Pingping Li,Gautam Bandyopadhyay,William S. Lagakos,Walter E. DeWolf,Taylor Alford,Mark Joseph Chicarelli,Lance Williams,Deborah A. Anderson,Brian R. Baer,Maralee McVean,Marion Conn,Murielle M. Véniant,Peter Coward +13 more
TL;DR: In vitro, GKA23 increased the affinity of rat and mouse glucokinase for glucose, and increased glucose uptake in primary rat hepatocytes, and sub-chronic GKA 23 treatment of mice fed a high-fat diet resulted in improved glucose homeostasis and lipid profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influenza virus causes lung immunopathology through down-regulating PPARγ activity in macrophages
TL;DR: The results indicate that the influenza virus specifically targets the PPARγ pathway in macrophages to cause acute injury to the lung.
