Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 polymorphisms and COPD.
Is there an association between impaired pulmonary function and mortality in never smokers? I read with great interest the article by Mannino et al 1 on the association between impaired pulmonary function and mortality, and wish to comment on two statements in the paper. Firstly, the authors report that ''an interesting finding in (their) analysis was that, in never smokers, moderate or severe ...
متن کاملEndotoxin - tolerant Mice Have Mutations in Toll - like Receptor 4 ( Tlr 4 ) By Salman
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) provokes a vigorous, generalized proinflammatory state in the infected host. Genetic regulation of this response has been localized to the Lps locus on mouse chromosome 4, through study of the C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10ScCr inbred strains. Both C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10ScCr mice are homozygous for a mutant Lps allele ( Lps d/d ) that confers hyporesponsiveness to LPS cha...
متن کاملSynthetic Toll Like Receptor-4 (TLR-4) Agonist Peptides as a Novel Class of Adjuvants
BACKGROUND Adjuvants serve as catalysts of the innate immune response by initiating a localized site of inflammation that is mitigated by the interactions between antigens and toll like receptor (TLR) proteins. Currently, the majority of vaccines are formulated with aluminum based adjuvants, which are associated with various side effects. In an effort to develop a new class of adjuvants, agonis...
متن کاملCloning and radiation hybrid mapping of bovine toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) signaling molecules.
Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 is a transmembrane receptor for lipopolysaccharide, a highly pro-inflammatory component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. To date, molecules of the TLR-4 signaling pathway have not been well characterized in cattle. The goal of this study was to clone and sequence the full-length coding regions of bovine genes involved in TLR-4 signaling including CASP8...
متن کاملPlatelet-Derived Toll-Like Receptor 4 (Tlr-4) Is Sufficient to Promote Microvascular Thrombosis in Endotoxemia
Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) produced by gram-negative bacteria initiates a host of pro-inflammatory effects through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4). We reported previously that LPS enhances microvascular thrombosis in cremaster venules of wild-type mice, but had no effect in mice deficient in TLR-4. Since TLR-4 is expressed on various cell types, the cellular origin of TLR-4 responsible fo...
