Abstract:

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 essential. Meanwhile, miRNAs (microRNAs) act similar to a class of small noncoding RNAs with gene regulatory functions. The regulation of TLR expression by miRNAs may be one of the valid points for targeting TLRs. Materials and methods: In this study, we predicted most of the microRNAs bind to the TLRs pathway in the chicken, based on the bioinformatic methods. All genes involved in the TLR signaling pathway in chicken species were extracted from the KEGG database (Entry: gga04620) and analyzed based on different applications. Results: We predicted 19 miRNAs for the 18 target genes of the TLR pathway that may provide essential clues for identifying novel drug targets for inflammatory diseases. Conclusion: Substantial miRNA was found as gene regulators. As newly identified regulators, the performance mechanism of miRNAs in combination with other regulatory mechanisms will control the outcome of immune responses and these issues should be investigated in future studies

MicroRNAs bind to Toll-like receptors to induce prometastatic inflammatory response.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs, 19-24 nucleotides in length, that regulate gene expression and are expressed aberrantly in most types of cancer. MiRNAs also have been detected in the blood of cancer patients and can serve as circulating biomarkers. It has been shown that secreted miRNAs within exosomes can be transferred from cell to cell and can regulate gene expression in the rec...

microRNAs are ligands of Toll-like receptors.

It has long been known that microRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate target gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Recent studies, however, have revealed that miRNAs can also be transported from donor cells to recipient cells, in which these RNAs function in a novel manner as ligands of Toll-like receptors. Here, we review the latest findings on these unconventional miRNAs, with special emph...

The 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...

Expression and function of Toll-like receptors in chicken heterophils.

The heterophil is the major polymorphonuclear cell in birds with a functional capacity akin to that of the mammalian neutrophil. Herein, we demonstrate that heterophils constitutively express TLR1/6/10, TLR2 type 1, TLR2 type 2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR5, and TLR7 mRNA. Furthermore, TLR agonists, including flagellin (from Salmonella typhimurium, FGN), peptidoglycan (from Staphylococcus aureus, PGN), ult...

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...
