Induction of a homeostatic circuit in lung tissue by microbial compounds

Immunity

Abstract

TGFbeta presented and activated by integrin alphavbeta6 expressed on alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) continuously inhibits the functionality of alveolar macrophages (AM). Despite this inhibition, AM retain their ability to respond to inhaled microorganisms. Herein we describe a homeostatic circuit through which the effects of microbial products on macrophages transiently circumvent this inhibition by repressing alphavbeta6 expression on AEC. Subsequent production of matrix metalloproteinases by activated AM activates latent TGFbeta, reinduces alphavbeta6 expression, and thereby reinstates tonic inhibition of AM function. Our results reveal how AM can be activated while minimizing their potential to inflict collateral damage to the adjacent lung tissue and indicate that tissue-specific microenvironmental factors shape organ-specific defense strategies against microbial invasion.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
