Synergistic Proinflammatory Responses by IL-17A and Toll-Like Receptor 3 in Human Airway Epithelial Cells
Viral respiratory infections activate the innate immune response in the airway epithelium through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and induce airway inflammation, which causes acute exacerbation of asthma. Although increases in IL-17A expression were observed in the airway of severe asthma patients, the interaction between IL-17A and TLR activation in airway epithelium remains poorly understood. In t...
متن کاملSPLUNC1 regulation in airway epithelial cells: role of toll-like receptor 2 signaling
BACKGROUND Respiratory infections including Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) contribute to various chronic lung diseases. We have shown that mouse short palate, lung, and nasal epithelium clone 1 (SPLUNC1) protein was able to inhibit Mp growth. Further, airway epithelial cells increased SPLUNC1 expression upon Mp infection. However, the mechanisms underlying SPLUNC1 regulation remain unknown. In the ...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide-enhanced, Toll-like Receptor 4–dependent T Helper Cell Type 2 Responses to Inhaled Antigen
Allergic asthma is an inflammatory lung disease initiated and directed by T helper cells type 2 (Th2). The mechanism involved in generation of Th2 responses to inert inhaled antigens, however, is unknown. Epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or other microbial products can influence the development and severity of asthma. However, the mechanism by which LP...
متن کاملToll-like receptor expression and function in airway epithelial cells.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) belong to a family of transmembrane proteins that can recognize and discriminate a diverse array of microbial antigens. Following their activation by specific ligands, TLRs initiate intracellular signaling cascades that culminate in the activation of transcription factors and ultimately lead to changes in pro-inflammatory gene expression. The TLR family constitutes an...
متن کاملBarrier protection via Toll-like receptor 2 signaling in porcine intestinal epithelial cells damaged by deoxynivalnol
Intestinal barrier is the first line of defense inside the body and comprises intercellular tight junction (TJ) proteins that regulate paracellular permeability. Deoxynivalenol (DON), a fungal metabolite often found in the contaminated food of domestic animals, is known to impair intestinal barrier function and may be involved in intestinal inflammation. Unlike in humans and mice, the importanc...
