Impaired Innate COPD Alveolar Macrophage Responses and Toll-Like Receptor-9 Polymorphisms
BACKGROUND Dysfunctional innate responses of alveolar macrophages to nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pneumoniae contribute to morbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our earlier studies discovered impaired COPD alveolar macrophage responses to Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands of nontypeable H. influenzae and provide rationale for fu...
متن کاملToll-like receptor (TLR) 4 polymorphisms and COPD.
Is there an association between impaired pulmonary function and mortality in never smokers? I read with great interest the article by Mannino et al 1 on the association between impaired pulmonary function and mortality, and wish to comment on two statements in the paper. Firstly, the authors report that ''an interesting finding in (their) analysis was that, in never smokers, moderate or severe ...
متن کاملImpaired toll-like receptor 9 expression in alveolar macrophages with no sensitivity to CpG DNA.
Unmethylated CpG motifs in bacterial DNA or synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) potently stimulate the innate immune system, and they are recognized by Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which is expressed by monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells. However, it is unknown whether alveolar macrophages (AMs) express functional TLR9. To clarify this, we analyzed mRNA expressions of TLRs in...
متن کاملAnalysis of Toll-like Receptor 9 Gene Polymorphisms in Sepsis.
AIM To analyze the effect of TLR-9 (-1486 T>C) and TLR-9 (C>T) gene polymorphisms both at TLR-9 levels and together with their sepsis parameters. In this regard, the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was used in order to detect TLR-9 gene polymorphisms, whereas the ELISA technique was used to analyze TLR-9 serum levels in 80 sepsis patients ...
متن کاملDifferent Toll-like receptor agonists induce distinct macrophage responses.
We previously reported that gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activates cells via Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4, whereas the mycobacterial cell wall glycolipid lipoarabinomannan (LAM) activates cells via TLR2. We also identified a secreted TLR2 agonist activity in short-term culture filtrates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli, termed soluble tuberculosis factor (STF). Here we sh...
