Exercise and Toll-like receptors Running Head: Exercise and TLRs

چکیده
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are highly conserved trans-membrane proteins that play an important role in the detection and recognition of microbial pathogens. The key product of TLR signalling in antigen presenting cells is the production of inflammatory cytokines and proteins. The TLR pathway plays an important role in mediating whole body inflammation, which has been implicated in the development of chronic disease. An accumulation of chronic, low-grade inflammation is common in individuals that live a sedentary lifestyle; however, the mechanism underlying this connection is not fully understood. There is evidence to show that TLRs may be involved in the link between a sedentary lifestyle, inflammation, and disease. Recent studies have shown that both acute aerobic and chronic resistance exercise resulted in decreased monocyte cell-surface expression of TLRs. Furthermore, a period of chronic exercise training decreases both inflammatory cytokine production and the cell-surface expression of TLR4 on monocytes. These effects may contribute to post-exercise immunodepression and the reported higher susceptibility to infection in athletes. However, over the long term, a decrease in TLR expression may represent a beneficial effect because it decreases the inflammatory capacity of leukocytes, thus altering whole body chronic inflammation. The precise physiological stimulus mediating an exercise-induced decrease in cell-surface TLR expression is not known; however, a number of possible signals have been implicated including anti-inflammatory cytokines, stress hormones and heat shock proteins.

P-172: Intracellular Toll Like Receptors Expression in Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is a complex disease that profoundly affects the quality of life in many women. This disease affects roughly one in ten women of reproductive age. Endometriosis induces a variable amount of inflammatory reaction in pelvic environment. An active immune system needs to recognize these inflammatory agents. Rapid innate immune system defenses against infections involve the...

Background: Toll like receptors (TLRs) are a major family of innate immune systems which recognize specific pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPS)in bacterial, fungi, virus and parasites. Human TLRs comprise a large family of 10 different type proteins that are expressed on various immune cells. Among these receptors, TLR1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 10 were expressed on the cell surface. TLR2 form...

Introduction: Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) are members of pattern recognition receptors that recognize various molecules, including pathogen-associated molecular patterns and dead-associated molecular patterns. These receptors are expressed by immune, non-immune, and tumor cells. Some TLRs are implicated in tumor progression, while others are involved in tumor suppression. Our study aimed to eval...

Background: Endometriosis is the growth of endometrial cells outside the uterine cavity. It has been suggested that immune system plays important roles in both initiation and progression of the disease. Several studies have been shown that women with endometriosis diverge in their expression of different genes including heat-shock proteins, fibronectin, and neutrophil elastase, which might be i...
