Gram-positive bacteria secrete RNA aptamers to activate human STING for IL-1β release
2021-07-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Molecular mechanisms through which Gram-positive bacteria induce the canonical inflammasome are poorly understood. Here, we studied the effects of Group B streptococci (GBS) and Staphylococcus aureus (SA) on inflammasome activation in human macrophages. Dinucleotide binding small RNA aptamers released by SA and GBS were shown to trigger increased IL-1β generation by inflammasomes. The stimulato...
