La inflamación es un proceso fisiológico dirigido a prevenir o reparar los daños producidos por agresiones externas, infecciones o intoxicación. Este proceso depende de la coordinación entre la activacióny migración de los leucocitos hacia la región dañada y por tanto está asociado con cambios en la morfología celular y con la reorganización del citoesqueleto de actina. El citoesqueleto de actina tambiéncontribuye a otros cambios morfológicos esenciales necesarios para la vida de la célula. WIP (WASP Interacting Protein) es una proteína que se une a la actina y participa en procesos inflamatorios.Dicha unión estabiliza los microfilamentos de actina y regula su organización especial y temporal. La ausencia de WIP induce la formación de redes de actina deficientes en linfocitos T y B, lo que conducea la modificación de la capacidad linfocitaria de activación y migración y desemboca en alteraciones autoinmunes con infiltración leucocitaria en órganos vitales y muerte del animal
Inflammation refers to a physiological process aimed at preventing or repairing the damage induced by infection, injury or intoxication. This process requires the coordinated activation and migration of leukocytes to the damaged area and therefore it is associatedwith changes in cell morphology and actin cytoskeleton reorganization. Actin cytoskeleton is also required for many other changes in cellular morphology that take place during cell life. WIP (WASP InteractingProtein) is an actin-binding protein involved in inflammation. WIP stabilizes actin filaments and regulates their temporal and spatial organization. Absence of WIP leads to formation of defective actinnetworks in T and B lymphocytes (that entail defective lymphocyte activation and migration) and ultimately results in autoimmunity and leukocyte infiltration in vital organs resulting in a fatal outcome
