Toll-like receptor 2 is required for optimal control of Listeria monocytogenes infection.
The control of Listeria monocytogenes infection depends on the rapid activation of the innate immune system, likely through Toll-like receptors (TLR), since mice deficient for the common adapter protein of TLR signaling, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), succumb to Listeria infection. In order to test whether TLR2 is involved in the control of infections, we compared the host response ...
متن کاملThe aryl hydrocarbon receptor is required for optimal resistance to Listeria monocytogenes infection in mice.
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is part of a powerful signaling system that is triggered by xenobiotic agents such as polychlorinated hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Although activation of the AhR by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can lead to immunosuppression, there is also increasing evidence that the AhR regulates certai...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 2 is required for control of pulmonary infection with Francisella tularensis.
Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) deficiency enhances murine susceptibility to infection by Francisella tularensis as indicated by accelerated mortality, higher bacterial burden, and greater histopathology. Analysis of pulmonary cytokine levels revealed that TLR2 deficiency results in significantly lower levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 but increased amounts of gamma interferon...
متن کاملCD14 works with toll-like receptor 2 to contribute to recognition and control of Listeria monocytogenes infection.
Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling has been shown to contribute to resistance to Listeria monocytogenes infection, as TLR2-deficient mice have a heightened susceptibility to infection with this organism. Because CD14 may associate with TLR2, we investigated the role of CD14 in Listeria responses. In both CD14-deficient and TLR2-deficient macrophages, nuclear factor kappaB translocation; CD40...
متن کاملIL-10 is required for optimal CD8 T cell memory following Listeria monocytogenes infection.
IL-10 is an important immunoregulatory cytokine that plays a central role in maintaining a balance between protective immunity against infection and limiting proinflammatory responses to self or cross-reactive Ags. We examined the full effects of IL-10 deficiency on the establishment and quality of T cell memory using murine listeriosis as a model system. IL-10(-/-) mice had reduced bacterial l...
