malfunction | the population of CD11c+ dendritic cells is significantly increased in the splenic marginal zone (MZ) locally of wild-type (DBA/2) mice with splenomegaly but not in that of CatS deficient (CatS-/-) mice after systemic exposure to lipopolysaccharide from Porphyromonas gingivalis (PgLPS) for 7 consecutive days | Mus musculus |
physiological function | cathepsin S (CatS) is involved in Th17 differentiation through the upregulation of interleukin-6 by activating PAR-2 after systemic exposure to lipopolysaccharide from Porphyromonas gingivalis (PgLPS). Lysosomal proteinase CatS is known to be involved in dendritic cell functions. CatS is essential for the production of interleukin-6 by splenic CD11cC dendritic cells after systemic exposure to PgLPS | Mus musculus |
