Inflammasomes in epithelial innate immunity: front line warriors
FEBS letters(2024)
摘要
Our epithelium represents a battle ground against a variety of insults including pathogens and danger signals. It encodes multiple sensors that detect and respond to such insults, playing an essential role in maintaining and defending tissue homeostasis. One key set of defense mechanisms is our inflammasomes which drive innate immune responses including, sensing and responding to pathogen attack, through the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cell death. Identification of physiologically relevant triggers for inflammasomes has greatly influenced our ability to decipher the mechanisms behind inflammasome activation. Furthermore, identification of patient mutations within inflammasome components implicates their involvement in a range of epithelial diseases. This review will focus on exploring the roles of inflammasomes in epithelial immunity and cover: the diversity and differential expression of inflammasome sensors amongst our epithelial barriers, their ability to sense local infection and damage and the contribution of the inflammasomes to epithelial homeostasis and disease. Strategically placed, our epithelium plays an essential role in maintaining and guarding tissue homeostasis. One key set of defense mechanisms is represented by our inflammasomes, which sense and respond to pathogen attack, through the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This review will focus on how the inflammasomes, our front-line warriors, maintain our skin, respiratory, and gut epithelial barrier immunity. image
