Toll-like receptor 9-dependent macrophage activation by Entamoeba histolytica DNA.
Activation of the innate immune system by bacterial DNA and DNA of other invertebrates represents a pathogen recognition mechanism. In this study we investigated macrophage responses to DNA from the intestinal protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. E. histolytica genomic DNA was purified from log-phase trophozoites and tested with the mouse macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. RAW cells treated w...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 9-dependent immune activation by unmethylated CpG motifs in Aspergillus fumigatus DNA.
Phagocytic defenses are critical for effective host defenses against the opportunistic fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Previous studies found that following challenge with A. fumigatus, Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) knockout mice survived longer than wild-type mice. However, the mechanism responsible was not defined. Here we demonstrate that A. fumigatus contains unmethylated CpG sequences...
متن کاملRegulation of Toll-like receptor-2 expression by the Gal-lectin of Entamoeba histolytica.
The Gal/GalNAc lectin (Gal-lectin) of Entamoeba histolytica is a surface molecule involved in parasite adherence to host cells and is the most promising subunit vaccine candidate against amoebiasis. As macrophages are the major effector cells in host defense against amoebas, we studied the molecular mechanisms by which Gal-lectin activates macrophage. Microarray analysis showed that Gal-lectin ...
متن کاملToll-like Receptor 9–Dependent and –Independent Dendritic Cell Activation by Chromatin–Immunoglobulin G Complexes
Dendritic cell (DC) activation by nucleic acid-containing immunoglobulin (Ig)G complexes has been implicated in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms responsible for activation and subsequent disease induction are not completely understood. Here we show that murine DCs are much more effectively activated by immune complexes that contain IgG bound to chromatin ...
متن کاملActivation of toll-like receptor 9 by DNA from different bacterial species.
Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR-9) recognizes unmethylated CpG dinucleotides which are abundant in prokaryotic DNA and yet are rare in eukaryotic DNA. Little is known about the significance of TLR-9 in terms of recognition of different bacterial DNA species. In this study HEK293 cells stably transfected with human TLR-9 were used to analyze the immunostimulatory properties of 15 bacterial DNA prepara...
