Abstract
En 中文
As the site of gas exchange, the lung is critical for organismal survival. It is also subject to continual environmental insults inflicted by pathogens, particles, and toxins. Sometimes, these insults result in structural damage and the initiation of an innate immune response. Operating in parallel, the immune response aims to eliminate the threat, while the repair process ensures continual physiological function of the lung. The inflammatory response and repair processes are thus inextricably linked in time and space but are often studied in isolation. Here, we review the interplay of innate immune cells and nonimmune cells during lung insult and repair. We highlight how cellular cross talk can fine-tune the circuitry of the immune response, how innate immune cells can facilitate or antagonize proper organ repair, and the prolonged changes to lung immunity and physiology that can result from acute immune responses and repair processes.
