Targeting the Linear Ubiquitin Assembly Complex to Modulate the Host Response and Improve Influenza A Virus Induced Lung Injury 2020-05-13 .txt text/plain 3741 198 35 title: Targeting the Linear Ubiquitin Assembly Complex to Modulate the Host Response and Improve Influenza A Virus Induced Lung Injury Data from retrospective human studies as well as experimental animal models of influenza virus infection highlight the fine line between an excessive and an inadequate immune response, where the host response must balance viral clearance with exuberant inflammation. We have reported that the amplitude of the inflammatory response is regulated by Linear Ubiquitin Assembly Complex (LUBAC) activity and that dampening of LUBAC activity is protective during severe influenza virus infection. Here we review the evidence for modulating inflammation to ameliorate influenza virus infection-induced lung injury, data on current anti-inflammatory strategies, and potential new avenues to target viral inflammation and improve outcomes. Recent reports show that destabilization of respiratory epithelial LUBAC, via loss of the non-catalytic component HOIL-1L, dampens the host response during severe influenza and promotes survival with reduced lung injury as well as reduced viral titers. ./cache/cord-335871-zieuc7vk.txt ./txt/cord-335871-zieuc7vk.txt
