요약 | Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infects more than 90% of children under two years of age. It is the number one leading cause of hospitalizations for infants and young children. Inpatients suffer from RSV-induced moderate to severe bronchioliti |
요약 | The current dissertation demonstrates that Dll4 was up-regulated by RSV infection especially on CD11b+ pulmonary dendritic cells (DC). Using systemic Dll4 neutralization and a Dll4 knockdown DC transfer model, we found that Dll4 enhanced Foxp3 e |
요약 | Using an epigenetic enzyme PCR array, we found that Dll4 and Notch signaling enhanced the expression of a novel histone methyltransferase-SET and MYND domain containing protein 3 (SMYD3) in vitro and in vivo during RSV infection. SMYD3 catalyze |
요약 | Collectively, the studies in this dissertation suggest that Notch and its ligand Dll4 augment immunomodulatory Treg cell programs to ameliorate RSV immunopathology in part through an epigenetic mechanism-SMYD3. The results presented herein lay t |
