Hypercapnia Suppresses Macrophage Antiviral Activity and Increases Mortality of Influenza A Infection via Akt1
2020-02-14
Abstract excerpt
Hypercapnia, elevation of the partial pressure of CO 2 in blood and tissues, is a risk factor for mortality in patients with severe acute and chronic lung diseases. We previously showed that hypercapnia inhibits multiple macrophage and neutrophil antimicrobial functions, and that it increases the mortality of bacterial pneumonia in mice. Here, we show that normoxic hypercapnia increases viral replication, lung in...
