Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Innate immune system is critically involved in induction of inflammatory responses. Innate immune system detects microbial components by pattern-recognition receptors and induces production of inflammatory cytokines. However, innate immune system also senses host-derived stimulatory factors and nutrient components, and often causes development of inflammatory diseases. We have examined a molecular mechanism underlying regulation of innate immune system and have revealed an essential role of microtubules in induction of inflammatory responses.
