TLRs serve important immune and nonimmune functions in human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Proinflammatory Th1 cytokines have been shown to promote TLR expression and function in IECs, but the effect of key Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) on TLR signaling in IECs has not been elucidated so far. We stimulated human model IECs with Th2 cytokines and examined TLR mRNA and protein expressio...
Background: We have shown previously that murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (gHV68) infection exacerbates established pulmonary fibrosis. Because Toll-like receptor (TLR)-9 may be important in controlling the immune response to gHV68 infection, we examined how TLR-9 signaling effects exacerbation of fibrosis in response to viral infection, using models of bleomycinand fluorescein isothiocyanate-induce...

Innate immunity plays a pivotal role in obesity-induced low-grade inflammation originating from adipose tissue. Key receptors of the innate immune system including Toll-like receptors-2 and -4 (TLRs) are triggered by nutrient excess to promote inflammation. The role of other TLRs in this process is largely unknown. In addition to double-stranded viral mRNA, TLR-3 can also recognize mRNA from dy...
To survive in macrophages, Coxiella burnetii hijacks the activation pathway of macrophages. Recently, we have demonstrated that C. burnetii, via its lipopolysaccharide (LPS), avoids the activation of p38α-MAPK through an antagonistic engagement of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4. We investigated the fine-tuned mechanism leading to the absence of activation of the p38α-MAPK despite TLR-4 engagement. ...
OBJECTIVE To assess the expression of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3) protein in synovial tissues and cultured synovial fibroblasts obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) and to investigate the consequences of stimulation of cultured synovial fibroblasts with TLR-3 ligands. METHODS TLR-3 expression in synovial tissues was determined by immunohistochemistry ...
OBJECTIVE Synovial inflammation, a feature of both osteoarthritis (OA) and meniscal injury, is hypothesized to be triggered in part via stimulation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs). We undertook this study to test whether a TLR-2- or TLR-4-stimulating factor in synovial fluid (SF) from patients with early knee OA with meniscal injury could lead to inflammatory activation of synoviocytes. METHODS...
Vizantin has immunostimulating properties and anticancer activity. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of immune activation by vizantin. THP-1 cells treated with small interfering RNA for TLR-4 abolished vizantin-induced macrophage activation processes such as chemokine release. In addition, compared with wild-type mice, the release of MIP-1β induced by vizantin in vivo was s...
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) is well known for its host innate immunity. Despite the fact that TLR-4 activation confers antitumor responses; emerging evidence suggests that TLR-4 is associated with tumor development and progression. It is now clear that overactivation of TLR-4, through various immune mediators, may cause immune response dysfunction, resulting in tumorigenesis. Different cancers...
OBJECTIVE Bacterial trigger possibly causes disease exacerbation in enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) patients. Microbes initiate immune responses through Toll-like receptors (TLRs). We studied TLR expression on blood and SF monocytes and the effect of TLR ligands on peripheral blood (PB) mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in ERA patients. METHODS PB from 26 ERA patients and 19 healthy subjects and p...
