Toll-like receptors in gastrointestinal diseases.
نویسنده
چکیده
Innate immune cells - and many other cells - express evolutionarily conserved, germline-encoded receptors that recognize seemingly pathogen-derived ligands (also termed pathogen-associated molecular patterns), thereby allowing the host to perceive infection. Although they were the first to be discovered, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are not the only pattern recognition receptors. TLRs are unlikely to discriminate between commensals and pathogens in the gut microbiota. There is, however, increasing evidence that TLRs shape intestinal function. In addition, certain bacteria appear to drive either Th1/Th17 proinflammatory immune responses, or T regulatory responses. Furthermore, TLRs appear to trigger 'sterile' autoinflammatory responses by sensing metabolically altered host (self) components.

External exposed radiation may play an important role in pathogens of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), although is thought to arise due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The result is dysregulated immune responses due to alteration in the gut microbiota population and the subsequent development of gut inflammation. It has recently been shown that the effect of ioni...

Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) detect diverse pathogen-associated molecular patterns and play a critical role in the innate immune response. Hosts should activate TLR-signaling pathways to eliminate invading pathogens. However, excessive activation of these pathways may interrupt immune homeostasis, leading to several diseases. Therefore precise regulation of TLR-signaling pathways is e...

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...
