Guanylate binding proteins facilitate caspase-11-dependent pyroptosis in response to type 3 secretion system-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa
27 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Detection of bacterial ligands is a pre-requisite for inflammasome activation. During Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, flagellin which is secreted through the T3SS is detected by the NLRC4 inflammasome. Activation of the NLRC4 inflammasome is believed to contribute to high IL-1β production and pathogenicity in cystic fibrosis patients with chronic P. aeruginosa infection. Interestingly, the majority of...
