Enhancement of Dendritic Cell Production by Fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase-3 Ligand Increases the Resistance of Mice to a Burn Wound Infection
Tracy Toliver-Kinsky,Tracy Toliver-Kinsky,Weihua Cui,E. D. Murphey,E. D. Murphey,Chengyie Lin,Edward R. Sherwood,Edward R. Sherwood +7 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that Flt3L can increase the resistance of mice to a P. aeruginosa burn wound infection through both stimulation of dendritic cell production and enhancement of dendedritic cell function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendritic cells modulate burn wound healing by enhancing early proliferation
Monika Vinish,Weihua Cui,Ebony Stafford,Leon Bae,Hal K. Hawkins,Hal K. Hawkins,Robert A. Cox,Robert A. Cox,Tracy Toliver-Kinsky +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that DCs play an important role in the acceleration of early wound healing events, likely by secreting factors that trigger the proliferation of cells that mediate wound healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
H2S, a Bacterial Defense Mechanism against the Host Immune Response.
Tracy Toliver-Kinsky,Tracy Toliver-Kinsky,Weihua Cui,Gabor Törö,Seung-Jin Lee,Konstantin Shatalin,Evgeny Nudler,Csaba Szabó,Csaba Szabó,Csaba Szabó +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that inhibition of bacterial H2S production can increase the susceptibility of both bacterial species to rapid killing by immune cells and can improve bacterial clearance after severe burn, an injury that increases susceptibility to opportunistic infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prophylactic Treatment with Fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase-3 Ligand after Burn Injury Enhances Global Immune Responses to Infection
Julia K. Bohannon,Weihua Cui,Robert A. Cox,Rene Przkora,Edward R. Sherwood,Edward R. Sherwood,Tracy Toliver-Kinsky +6 more
TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that Flt3L administration after burn injury decreases susceptibility to wound infections by enhancing global immune cell activation and suggests that dendritic cell enhancement by FlT3L treatments after burn injuries protects against opportunistic infections through promotion of local and systemic immune responses to infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endotoxin priming improves clearance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in wild-type and interleukin-10 knockout mice.
Tushar K. Varma,Megan Durham,E. D. Murphey,Weihua Cui,Zhiyu Huang,Cheng Y. Lin,Tracy Toliver-Kinsky,Edward R. Sherwood,Edward R. Sherwood +8 more
TL;DR: Induction of LPS tolerance enhanced systemic clearance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and that this effect was augmented by neutralization of IL-10, which reversed the endotoxin-tolerant state.
