Association of Myeloid Liver Kinase B1 Depletion With a Reduction in Alveolar Macrophage Numbers and an Impaired Host Defense During Gram-Negative Pneumonia

BACKGROUND: Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) has been studied extensively as a tumor suppressor gene (Stk11) in the context of cancer. We hypothesized that myeloid LKB1 plays a role in innate immunity during pneumonia. METHODS: Mice deficient for LKB1 in myeloid cells (LysM-cre × Stk11(fl/fl)) or neutrophils...
