Abstract

Mammalian cells recognize LPS from Gram-negative bacteria via the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) complex. During experimental Salmonella infection, C3H/HeJ mice carrying a dominant-negative mutation in TLR4 exhibited delayed chemokine production, impaired NO generation, and attenuated cellular immune responses. However, dramatically enhanced bacterial growth within the Kupffer cell network before the recruitment of inflammatory cells appeared to be primarily responsible for the early demise of Salmonella-infected TLR4-deficient mice. LPS-TLR4 signaling plays an essential role in the generation of both innate and adaptive immune responses throughout the course of infection with Gram-negative bacteria. Alternative pattern-recognition receptors cannot completely compensate for the loss of TLR4, and compensation occurs at the expense of an increased microbial burden.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Recent evidence obtained in models of S. typhimurium infection indicates specific compartmentalization of nitrosative and oxidative stress in macrophages and thus divergent effects on the fate and propagation of bacteria.

    “Of interest, recent evidence obtained in models of S. typhiumrium infection indicate specific compartmentalization of nitrosative and oxidative stress in macrophages and thus divergent effects on the fate and propagation of bacteria, extending previous work on cycle specific susceptibility of these bacteria to either of these stress responses (61, 68, 69).”

  • S.Tm survives inside MPS cells such as spleen and liver macrophages, causes systemic disease in mice, and is known to require iron.

    “This Gram-negative bacterium persists within MPS cells, including spleen and liver macrophages, it causes systemic disease in mice (Vazquez-Torres et al., 1999, 2004), and its dependence on iron is well established (Nairz et al., 2007).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
