NRF2 inhibition of alveolar macrophage MHC II expression during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Linh K. Pham, Maritza M. Cervantes, Pamelia N. Lim, Divya Dubey, Ankita Tufts, Tomoyo Shinkawa, Samuel M. Behar, Alissa C. Rothchild

This study shows NRF2 inhibits MHC II expression in alveolar macrophages during Mtb infection, impairing CD4+ T cell activation and host immunity.

Absence of c-Maf and IL-10 enables Type I IFN enhancement of innate responses to low-dose LPS in alveolar macrophages

Pamelia N. Lim, Maritza M. Cervantes, Linh K. Pham, Sydney R Doherty, Ankita Tufts, Divya Dubey, Dat Mai, Alan A. Aderem, Alan H. Diercks, Alissa C. Rothchild

This study shows alveolar macrophages have reduced LPS responses due to low TLR4/CD14 surface expression and lack IL-10 production, which is enhanced by type I IFN.
