Effect of transforming growth factor-β1 on monocyte Toll-like receptor 4 expression in septic rats.
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a tough problem in critical ill patients. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic changes of monocyte Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 expression in peripheral blood of septic rats and to determine the effects of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 on TLR4 expression. METHODS Altogether 132 clean level SD rats were randomly divided into a control group (n=12), a sepsis mode...
متن کاملCrosstalk Between Transforming Growth Factor Beta-2 and Toll-Like Receptor 4 in the Trabecular Meshwork
Purpose The trabecular meshwork (TM) is involved in the outflow of aqueous humor and intraocular pressure (IOP) regulation. Regulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) by TGFβ2 signaling pathways in the TM has been extensively studied. Recent evidence has implicated toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the regulation of ECM and fibrogenesis in liver, kidney, lung, and skin. Here, we investigated the...
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 کاملDe-ubiquitinating enzyme, USP11, promotes transforming growth factor β-1 signaling through stabilization of transforming growth factor β receptor II
The transforming growth factor β-1 (TGFβ-1) signaling pathway plays a central role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. Two TGFβ-1 receptors, TβRI and TβRII, mediate this pathway. TβRI protein stability, as mediated by the ubiquitin/de-ubiquitination system, has been well studied; however, the molecular regulation of TβRII still remains unclear. Here we reveal that a de-ubiquitinating enz...
