Excerpt

Mycobacterium tuberculosis has evolved highly specialized mechanisms to proliferate in the host during infection. In this process, the infection of alveolar epithelial cells is a necessary step for mycobacteria dissemination; however the mechanisms of mycobacterial epithelial interactions are incompletely understood. Previously, we characterized the role of epithelial G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) CXCR1 and CXCR2 during mycobacterial infection. However the role of GPCR kinases (GRK) 2/3 and GRK4-6 in response to mycobacterial infection has not been investigated. …
