Toll-like receptor 4 signaling in liver injury and hepatic fibrogenesis
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of transmembrane pattern recognition receptors (PRR) that play a key role in innate and adaptive immunity by recognizing structural components unique to bacteria, fungi and viruses. TLR4 is the most studied of the TLRs, and its primary exogenous ligand is lipopolysaccharide, a component of Gram-negative bacterial walls. In the absence of exogenous microbe...
متن کاملToll-like receptor signaling during myocardial ischemia.
A CUTE myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia are leading causes of shortand long-term morbidity and mortality in the perioperative period. In part, this relates to the fact that treatment options for a myocardial infarction in surgical patients are extremely limited. For example, anticoagulation or treatment with highly effective inhibitors of platelet aggregation may not be an option d...
متن کاملmetformin alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury through suppressing toll-like receptor 4 signaling
signaling amp-activated protein kinase (ampk), an energy sensing enzyme, has been implicated in controlling inflammation. in this study we investigated whether activation of ampk by metformin could protect the lung from lipopolysaccharide (lps)-induced acute injury by inhibitingng tlr4 pathway. male wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=6): control group received normal saline (0.5...
متن کاملToll Like Receptor-4 896A/G Gene Variation, a Risk Factor for Migraine Headaches
Background: The pathogenesis of migraine involves immune-mediated mechanisms in the vascular endothelium. Toll like receptor 4 (TLR-4) is a signaling receptor of innate immunity which plays a role in various neuropathologies related to neuron inflammation. Objective: This case/control study is aimed to investigate whether TLR- 4 896A/G variation is related to migraine headaches in an Iranian po...
متن کاملSignaling Flux Redistribution at Toll-Like Receptor Pathway Junctions
Various receptors on cell surface recognize specific extracellular molecules and trigger signal transduction altering gene expression in the nucleus. Gain or loss-of-function mutations of one molecule have shown to affect alternative signaling pathways with a poorly understood mechanism. In Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling, which branches into MyD88- and TRAM-dependent pathways upon lipopol...
