Regulatory T cells and toll-like receptors in cancer therapy.
T regulatory (Treg) cells that suppress immune responses may limit the efficiency of cancer immunotherapy. Recent findings indicate that Toll-like receptors (TLR) directly regulate the suppressive activity of Treg cells. Linking TLR signaling to the functional control of Treg cells may offer new opportunities to improve the outcome of cancer immunotherapy by coadminstration of certain TLR ligands.
متن کاملRegulatory T Cells Selectively Express Toll-like Receptors and Are Activated by Lipopolysaccharide
Regulatory CD4 T cells (Treg) control inflammatory reactions to commensal bacteria and opportunist pathogens. Activation of Treg functions during these processes might be mediated by host-derived proinflammatory molecules or directly by bacterial products. We tested the hypothesis that engagement of germline-encoded receptors expressed by Treg participate in the triggering of their function. We...
متن کاملControl of Immune Responses by Naturally Arising CD4+ Regulatory T Cells That Express Toll-like Receptors
It is a key issue in immunology to understand how the immune system discriminates between self-and nonself, inhibiting autoimmune responses but allowing the host to mount immune responses against invading microbes (1–3). This is due to the fact that once antigen-specific lympho-cytes are activated in adaptive immune responses, they exhibit essentially the same effector activity whether they res...
متن کاملI-23: Reproduction and Toll Like Receptors(TLRs
Female and male reproductive tracts are of interest sites to study of immune system because they encounter specific infections such as those are sexually transmitted. Furthermore, female reproductive tract is in close contact with allogenic sperms and transmitted microorganisms during intercourse and semi allogenic fetus during pregnancy. In mammals, there are two types of immune responses, the...
متن کاملThe Role of Toll-Like Receptors in Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is highly prevalent worldwide. Treatment of this disease is a major global public health problem; therefore, numerous studies have explored new molecular profile helping for breast cancer therapy. Different risk factors are attributed to breast cancer; however, chronic inflammation and immune regulation are highly essential. Various molecules impact this context, including toll-li...
