Toll-like receptor 4 confers inflammatory response to Suilysin
Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) is an emerging human pathogen worldwide. A large outbreak occurred in the summer of 2005 in China. Serum samples from this outbreak revealed that levels of the main proinflammatory cytokines were significantly higher in patients with streptococcal toxic-shock-like syndrome (STSLS) than in patients with meningitis only. However, the mechanism underlying the cy...
متن کاملHuman Toll-like Receptor 2 Confers Responsiveness to Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) in host cells upon infection. LPS binds to the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)- anchored membrane protein CD14, which lacks an intracellular signaling domain. Here we investigated the role of mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) as signal transducers for LPS. Overexpression of ...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide Induced Activation of Toll Like Receptor 4 in Isolated Rat Heart Suggests a Local Immune Response in Myocardium
Background: Myocardial dysfunction is one of the major complications in patients with sepsis where there is a relationship between the blood level of cytokines and the onset of myocardial depression. In many cases of sepsis, the presence of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been established. LPS Binding Protein (LBP) bound endotoxin is recognized by CD14/toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) complexes in inna...
متن کاملRecognition of pneumolysin by Toll-like receptor 4 confers resistance to pneumococcal infection.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of invasive bacterial disease worldwide. Fragments of the cell wall and the cytolytic toxin pneumolysin have been shown to contribute substantially to inflammatory damage, although the interactions between pneumococcal components and host-cell structures have not been elucidated completely. Results of a previous study indicated that cell-wal...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in Toll-like receptor 4 and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and is thought to be due to an over-amplification of an inflammatory response. The Toll-like receptor 4 ( TLR4 ) Asp-299-->Gly polymorphism has been shown to reduce lipopolysaccharide responsiveness. We examined whether this TLR4 polymorphism is associated with severity of SIRS. A trend was found bet...
