Activation of endothelial toll-like receptor 3 impairs endothelial function.
RATIONALE Endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis are chronic inflammatory diseases characterized by activation of the innate and acquired immune system. Specialized protein receptors of the innate immune system recognize products of microorganisms and endogenous ligands such as nucleic acids. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), for example, detects long double-stranded RNA and is abundantly expre...
متن کاملEffect of cobalt-mediated Toll-like receptor 4 activation on inflammatory responses in endothelial cells
Cobalt-containing metal-on-metal hip replacements are associated with adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD), including inflammatory pseudotumours, osteolysis, and aseptic implant loosening. The exact cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to these responses are unknown. Cobaltions (Co2+) activate human Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), an innate immune receptor responsible for inflammatory res...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 2 mediates the activation of human monocytes and endothelial cells by antiphospholipid antibodies.
The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLAs) is associated with arterial or venous thrombosis and/or recurrent fetal loss. The proposed pathogenic mechanisms for aPLA effects include the inflammatory activation of monocytes and endothelial cells. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are candidate signaling intermediates. The aim of this study was to investigate the relative contribution of TLR2 an...
متن کاملHyperhomocystinemia impairs endothelial function and eNOS activity via PKC activation.
OBJECTIVE A risk factor for cardiovascular disease, hyperhomocystinemia (HHcy), is associated with endothelial dysfunction. In this study, we examined the mechanistic role of HHcy in endothelial dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS Through the use of 2 functional models, aortic rings and intravital video microscopy of the cremaster, we found that arterial relaxation in response to the endothelium...
متن کاملA key role for Toll-like receptor-3 in disrupting the hemostasis balance on endothelial cells.
Various virus infections cause dysfunctional hemostasis and in some instances lead to the development of viral hemorrhagic fever syndrome. How do diverse viruses induce the expression of tissue factor on vascular cells? We hypothesize that a direct stimulation of pattern recognition receptors (PRR) by viral nucleic acids may be the key. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is produced by many viruses an...
