Toll-Like Receptors of Deuterostome Invertebrates
Defensive systems against pathogens are responsible not only for survival or lifetime of an individual but also for the evolution of a species. Innate immunity is expected to be more important for invertebrates than mammals, given that adaptive immunity has not been acquired in the former. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been shown to play a crucial role in host defense of pathogenic microbes i...
متن کاملToll-like receptors: an overview from invertebrates to vertebrates
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are membrane glycoproteins consisting of an ectodomain, encompassing tandem LRRs (leucine-rich repeats), a membrane spanning segment and a globular cytoplasmic Toll/Interleukin-1 Receptor (TIR) domain. They detect microbes on the basis of conserved Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs). TLRs share molecular architecture and common ancestors with arthropod Tol...
متن کاملThe Role of Toll-Like Receptors in Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is highly prevalent worldwide. Treatment of this disease is a major global public health problem; therefore, numerous studies have explored new molecular profile helping for breast cancer therapy. Different risk factors are attributed to breast cancer; however, chronic inflammation and immune regulation are highly essential. Various molecules impact this context, including toll-li...
متن کاملI-23: Reproduction and Toll Like Receptors(TLRs
Female and male reproductive tracts are of interest sites to study of immune system because they encounter specific infections such as those are sexually transmitted. Furthermore, female reproductive tract is in close contact with allogenic sperms and transmitted microorganisms during intercourse and semi allogenic fetus during pregnancy. In mammals, there are two types of immune responses, the...
