Gamma secretase activating protein promotes end-organ dysfunction after bacterial pneumonia

Abstract

Pneumonia is a common cause of end-organ dysfunction, both during and in the aftermath of infection. In particular, pneumonia is a common cause of lung injury, increased risk of myocardial infarction, and neurocognitive dysfunction, although the mechanisms responsible for such increased risk are unknown. Here, we reveal that gamma-secretase activating protein, which contributes to the amyloidogenic pathway, is important for end-organ dysfunction following infection.
