SNAPIN: an endogenous Toll-like receptor ligand in rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVE The mechanisms contributing to the persistent activation of macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are not fully understood. Some studies suggest that endogenous toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands promote the chronic inflammation observed in RA. The objective of this study was to identify endogenous TLR ligands expressed in RA synovial tissue (ST) based on their ability to bind the ex...
متن کاملMethemoglobin Is an Endogenous Toll-Like Receptor 4 Ligand—Relevance to Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Neuroinflammation is a well-recognized consequence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and may be responsible for important complications of SAH. Signaling by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated nuclear factor κB (NFκB) in microglia plays a critical role in neuronal damage after SAH. Three molecules derived from erythrocyte breakdown have been postulated to be endogenous TLR4 ligands: methemoglo...
متن کاملSearch for an Endogenous Bombesin-Like Receptor 3 (BRS-3) Ligand Using Parabiotic Mice
Bombesin-like receptor 3 (BRS-3) is an X-linked G protein-coupled receptor involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Brs3 null (Brs3-/y) mice become obese. To date, no high affinity endogenous ligand has been identified. In an effort to detect a circulating endogenous BRS-3 ligand, we generated parabiotic pairs of mice between Brs3-/y and wild type (WT) mice or between WT controls. Succ...
متن کاملP-225: Gene Variations of Toll-Like Receptor 3 in Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder that is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Recently, endometriosis has been alternatively described as an immune, genetic and hormonal disease caused by exposure to environmental factors. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) comprises a family of receptors through directly recognizing exogenous and endogenous ligands play...
متن کاملP-33: Expression of Toll-Like Receptor 2-3 Genes in Human Sertoli Cells
Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) constitute a major part of innate immunity, which can distinguish pathogen associate molecular pattern. Sertoli cells create a special immunological niche that protects somniferous tubules from auto antigens and pathogens. These cells are the only somatic cells in somniferous that protect testis cells against pathogens. The purpose of this study was to eva...
