Histone Acetylation and Flagellin Are Essential for Legionella pneumophila -Induced Cytokine Expression
1 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Legionella pneumophila causes severe pneumonia. Acetylation of histones is thought to be an important regulator of gene transcription, but its impact on L. pneumophila-induced expression of proinflammatory cytokines is unknown. L. pneumophila strain 130b induced the expression of the important chemoattractant IL-8 and genome-wide histone modifications in human lung epithelial A549 cells. We analyzed the...
