Toll-like receptor 5 and the emerging role of bacteria in carcinogenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is an pattern recognition receptor expressed by several cells of the immune system that recognizes bacterial flagellin. We studied the influence of TLR5 in oral tongue squamous carcinoma and found that its expression levels predict patient survival and recurrence. Considering the role of microbiome in oral cancer, TLR5 may represent an important link between bacteria and oral oncogenesis.

P-82: The Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 in Ectopic Pregnancy
Background: The innate immune system is our first line of defense against invading pathogens. Toll–like receptors (TLRs) have been identified as a key role in mediating the function of innate immune system which bridges the gap between innate and adaptive immunity. For example, TLR2 is able to act as a homodimer to recognize lipoteichoic acids of Gram-positive bacteria but as a heterodimer with...

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...

Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) constitute a major part of innate immunity, which can distinguish pathogen associate molecular pattern. Sertoli cells create a special immunological niche that protects somniferous tubules from auto antigens and pathogens. These cells are the only somatic cells in somniferous that protect testis cells against pathogens. The purpose of this study was to eva...
