abstract

conclusions this study suggests that decrease in levels of tlr3 and tlr7 expression is a mechanism that may enable hcv to evade the host innate immune response. results in both groups, we had 13 males and 12 females with a mean age of 48.7 ± 16. tlr3 (6.23 ± 0.91 vs. 3.89 ± 0.85, p < 0.001) and tlr7 (1.48 ± 0.82 vs-1.33 ± 1.18, p < 0.001) expressions were significantly lower in patients with chronic hcv infection when compared with healthy controls. patients and methods in this case-control study, blood samples were collected from patients admitted to blood transfusion research center, tehran, iran. pbmc was isolated from blood of chronic hcv patients (n = 25) and age and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 25). rna was extracted from pbmc and cdna was synthesized from total rna templates using reverse transcriptase. the relative level of expression was quantified by real-time pcr using glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapdh) as reference gene and the results were compared by pfaffl method. data were analyzed using non-parametric wilcoxon test. p < 0.05 was considered significant. objectives in this study, we compared the expression levels of two members of the tlr family (tlr3 and tlr7) that recognize viral rna in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (pbmc) of patients with chronic hcv infection and healthy controls. background hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, with around 130 million infected people worldwide. hcv is recognized by toll-like receptors (tlrs), which are key mediators of innate immune response. up on activation of tlrs, anti-viral cytokines and pre-inflammatory are produced.

Distinct Toll-like Receptor 3 and 7 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells From Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Infection

BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, with around 130 million infected people worldwide. HCV is recognized by Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which are key mediators of innate immune response. Up on activation of TLRs, anti-viral cytokines and pre-inflammatory are produced. OBJECTIVES In this study, we compared the expression levels of two members of the TL...

Toll Like Receptor 2 and 4 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a T cell mediated autoimmune disease with unknown etiology. Appropriate MS therapeutic strategies need thorough understanding of both disease etiology and pathogenesis mechanisms. Ligation of TLR-2 and TLR-4 stimulates the production of several cytokines leading to CNS autoimmunity and neurodegenerative diseases. Objective: To find a relationship between M...

Expression of Toll-Like Receptors 3, 7, and 9 in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease of unknown aetiology. The results of experimental studies point to the involvement of innate immunity receptors-toll-like receptors (TLR)-in the pathogenesis of the disease. The aim of the study was to assess the expression of TLR3, 7, and 9 in the population of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and in B lymphocytes (CD19(+)), ...

Comparison of Hepatitis C Genotypes in Plasma and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PMBCs) in Hepatitis C-Infected Patients

Abstract Background and Aims: The Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is essentially hepatotropic but virus compartment has also been found in other important extra hepatic sites. Detection of HCV RNA in extra hepatic reservoirs such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is important for determining of disease progression and effective treatment. The present study aimed to determine of differe...

relative expression of toll-like receptors 2 and 7 mrna in peripheral blood of patients with hepatitis c

conclusions our findings showed that hcv infection could lead to increased expression level of tlr7 mrna in peripheral blood cells of hcv infected samples. the viral load and genotypes of hcv did not affect the mrna expression levels of tlr2 and tlr7. background hepatitis c virus (hcv) is an important human pathogen affecting an estimated 120 – 170 million individuals in the world. toll-like re...
