A wide variety of mitochondrial-derived molecules, which at normal physiological concentrations act as second messengers in the lung, can also behave as mtDAMPs when produced in excess or in an alternative cellular compartment. DAMPs primarily activate PRRs, including RLRs, TLRs, and NLRs, resulting in the induction of inflammatory cascades.
