Immunostimulatory activity of Toll-like receptor 8 agonists towards human leucocytes: basic mechanisms and translational opportunities.
TLR8 (Toll-like receptor 8) is activated by ssRNAs (single-stranded RNAs) and synthetic imidazoquinoline compounds that resemble purines and have immunostimulatory activity. TLR8 agonists are particularly effective at inducing Th1-polarizing responses from human monocytes and myeloid dendritic cells, with the magnitude of response substantially exceeding that induced by agonists of other TLRs. ...
متن کاملToll-Like Receptor Signaling Pathways—Therapeutic Opportunities
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are transmembrane proteins acting mainly as sensors of microbial components. Triggering TLRs results in increased expression of multiple inflammatory genes, which then play a protective role against infection. However, aberrant activation of TLR signaling has a significant impact on the onset of cancer, allergy, sepsis and autoimmunity. Various adaptor proteins, inclu...
متن کاملToll-Like Receptor 4 Modulates Small Intestine Neuromuscular Function through Nitrergic and Purinergic Pathways
Objective: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a pivotal role in the homeostatic microflora-host crosstalk. TLR4-mediated modulation of both motility and enteric neuronal survival has been reported mainly for colon with limited information on the role of TLR4 in tuning structural and functional integrity of enteric nervous system (ENS) and in controlling small bowel motility. Methods: Male TLR4 kno...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of macrophage Toll-like receptor–Fc receptor synergy
Macrophages (MØs) are a key cell type of both the innate and the adaptive immune response and can tailor their response to prevailing conditions. To sense the host's status, MØs employ two classes of receptors: Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which are sensors for pathogen-derived material, and Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) that are detectors of the adaptive immune response. How MØs integrate the input fro...
متن کاملToll-like receptor-2 modulates ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are members of the interleukin-1 receptor family and transduce similar signals as interleukin-1 receptor in response to exogenous pathogens. Recent studies have demonstrated that TLRs are activated by endogenous signals, such as heat shock proteins and oxidative stress, that may contribute to ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. In this study...
