OBJECTIVES To investigate the potential synergy of IL-7-driven T cell-dependent and TLR7-mediated B cell activation and to assess the additive effects of monocyte/macrophages in this respect. METHODS Isolated CD19 B cells and CD4 T cells from healthy donors were co-cultured with TLR7 agonist (TLR7A, Gardiquimod), IL-7, or their combination with or without CD14 monocytes/macrophages (T/B/mono;...

context triple negative breast cancer (tnbc) is a heterogeneous group of diseases that is negative for esterogen receptor (er) progesteron receptor (pr) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (her2). this type of breast cancer is typically high-grade carcinomas, although low-grade tumors occur. the aim of this review is to focus on molecular classification and features, prognostic markers...

the important role of reperfusion therapies in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction is well documented. however, reperfusion therapies can initiate inflammatory response and may damage the myocardium. the purpose of current study was to compare the effects of percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic therapy on inflammatory markers in the setting of st elevation myocardial inf...

analysis of  receptor–ligand  interactions  in  the  context  of  diseases  necessitates  to understand how hla–kir genotypes function in diseases. although cd56+  lymphocytes are derived from multiple lineages, they share a functional association with immunosurviellance and antimicrobial responses. the present study aimed to determine whether kir phenotype in cd56 lymphocytes and corresponding...

conclusions saturated fatty acids (sfas) served as a potential ligand for tlr4 and activated tlr4 signaling pathway, which might be involved in the pathogenesis. thus, sfas can accelerate the mechanism of inhibiting hbv replication in chb with nafld. objectives this study aimed to investigate whether the tlr4-mediated innate immunity stimulates the pathogenesis of chb in patients with nafld and...

We investigated the expression of a panel of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and their functions in human eosinophils. Eosinophils constitutively expressed TLR1, TLR4, TLR7, TLR9, and TLR10 mRNAs (TLR4 greater than TLR1, TLR7, TLR9, and TLR10 greater than TLR6). In contrast, neutrophils expressed a larger variety of TLR mRNAs (TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, TLR6, TLR8 greater than TLR5, TLR9, and TLR10 greater t...
