| malfunction | low-dose Klebsiella pneumoniae infection via the airways to induce a gradually evolving pneumosepsis shows that Casp11-deficient mice display increased bacterial numbers in the lung 12 h and 48 h after inoculation with reduced IL-1alpha levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and increased TNF levels in the lung of Casp11-/- mice at 48 h after inoculation. Caspase-11 deficiency impairs bacterial clearance in the lung, but has no effect on cell death in the lung. Caspase-11 deficiency does not influence lung pathology evoked by Klebsiella | Mus musculus |
| physiological function | caspase-11 is an intracellular receptor for lipopolysaccharide and regulates pyroptosis, a specific form of inflammatory cell death, which aids in host defense against intracellular gram-negative bacteria. Caspase-11 is also implicated in blood coagulation, local fibrin formation contributes to protective immunity against Klebsiella infection of the lung. Caspase-11 contributes to protective immunity against Klebsiella pneumoniae possibly by activation of blood coagulation in the lung.
