A humoral stress response protects Drosophila tissues from antimicrobial peptides

Jean Philippe Boquete, Bruno Lemaitre, Matteo Dal Peraro, Alexia Laurie Carboni, Samuel Rommelaere, Chan Cao, Fernando Augusto Teixeira Pinto Meireles

An efficient immune system must provide protection against a broad range of pathogens without causing excessive collateral tissue damage. While immune effectors have been well characterized, we know less about the resilience mechanisms protecting the host ...

Functional characterization of Drosophila melanogaster immune effectors

Alexia Laurie Carboni

Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as the "fruit fly", is a genetically tractable model organism widely used to study biological processes, notably the innate immune system. The advent of novel genome editing technologies, such as the CRISPR-Cas9 syst ...

Cecropins contribute to Drosophila host defense against a subset of fungal and Gram-negative bacterial infection

Bruno Lemaitre, Alexia Laurie Carboni, Mark Austin Hanson

Cecropins are small helical secreted peptides with antimicrobial activity that are widely distributed among insects. Genes encoding Cecropins are strongly induced upon infection, pointing to their role in host defense. In Drosophila, four cecropin genes cl ...

Increasing heart vascularisation after myocardial infarction using brain natriuretic peptide stimulation of endothelial and WT1(+) epicardial cells

Na Li, Alexia Laurie Carboni

Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) treatment increases heart function and decreases heart dilation after myocardial infarction (MI). Here, we investigated whether part of the cardioprotective effect of BNP in infarcted hearts related to improved neovascularis ...
