Differential Expression of microRNAs in Francisella tularensis-Infected Human Macrophages: miR-155-Dependent Downregulation of MyD88 Inhibits the Inflammatory Response
8 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen that replicates in the cytosol of macrophages and is the causative agent of the potentially fatal disease tularemia. A characteristic feature of F. tularensis is its limited proinflammatory capacity, but the mechanisms that underlie the diminished host response to this organism are only partially defined. Recently, microRNAs have...
