Atypical Chemokine Receptor 1 (Ackr1)-deficient Mice Resist Lethal SARS-CoV-2 Challenge

S. Majumdar, J. D. Weaver, S. M. Pontejo, M. Minai, S. Georgia-Clark, J.-L. Gao, X. Lu, H. Zhang, N. Lackemeyer, T. Burdette, R. Johnson, B. L. Kelsall, J. M. Farber, D. A. Alves, P. M. Murphy

This study shows that Ackr1-deficient mice have lower mortality from SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting ACKR1 may contribute to COVID-19 immunopathology and could be a drug target.

Chemokines as phosphatidylserine-bound 'find-me' signals in apoptotic cell clearance

S. M. Pontejo, P. M. Murphy

This study shows chemokines bind phosphatidylserine (PS) on apoptotic cells, acting as 'find-me' signals by substituting for glycosaminoglycans in chemokine presentation to phagocytes.

Poxvirus-encoded TNF receptor homolog dampens inflammation and protects the host from uncontrolled lung pathology and death during respiratory infection

Z. Al Rumaih, M. J. Tuazon Kels, E. Ng, P. Pandey, S. M. Pontejo, A. Alejo, A. Alcami, G. Chaudhri, G. Karupiah

This study shows that the ECTV CrmD protein reduces inflammation and protects mice from lethal lung disease during respiratory infection by modulating TNF, IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-γ.
