malfunction | pneumonia is induced in wild-type and GzmA-deficient (GzmA-/-) mice by intranasal inoculation of Streptococcus pneumoniae. In separate experiments, wild-type and GzmA-/- mice are treated with natural killer (NK) cell depleting antibodies. Upon infection, GzmA-/- mice show a better survival and lower bacterial counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and distant body sites compared to the wild-type mice. Although NK cells show strong GzmA expression, NK cell depletion does not influence bacterial loads in either wild-type or GzmA-/- mice. GzmA deficiency has little impact on lung pathology during late stage pneumococcal pneumonia | Mus musculus |
physiological function | granzyme A contributes to the early inflammatory response in the lung. Granzyme A (GzmA) impairs host defense during Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia, role of GzmA on the host response during pneumococcal pneumonia, overview | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | granzyme A contributes to the early inflammatory response in the lung. Granzyme A (GzmA) plays an unfavorable role in host defense during pneumococcal pneumonia by a mechanism that does not depend on natural killer cells. GzmA enhances bacterial dissemination and mortality in pneumococcal pneumonia | Mus musculus |
