Toll-like Receptors 2, 3, and 4 in Childhood Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia

Introduction: Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer type in children and accounts for 80% of pediatric leukemias. Novel targets are necessary to improve survival rates for refractory and relapsed disease. There is accumulating evidence that Toll-like Receptor (TLR) signaling may be a...

A Network Pharmacological Approach to Explore the Mechanisms of TongXieYaoFang in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the intestine, demonstrating an increasing incidence every year. TongXieYaoFang (TXYF) has been used widely in China as a complementary therapy to relieve the symptoms of IBD for hundreds of years. In the present research, a ...

Papel do imunometabolismo, receptores Toll-Like e ECA 2 na COVID-19

No combate à infecção pelo coronavírus 2 da síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SARS-CoV-2), o organismo se utiliza de mecanismos da imunidade inata, dentre eles os receptores Toll- Like (TLR), responsáveis pela sinalização da inflamação através da liberação de mediadores químicos e recruta...

Hidroxicloroquina: Del fármaco de herencia Inca hasta la inmunología moderna

Acta méd. costarric; 62 (2), 2020
Resumen La hidroxicloroquina es un antiguo fármaco proveniente del árbol de quino (Cinchona pubescens), a partir del componente químico alcaloide llamado quinina. Sus primeros usos se documentaron en el Imperio Inca del Perú. Se caracteriza por distintos efectos beneficiosos en enfermedades inmunoló...

Regulatory T cells isolated from endometriotic peritoneal fluid express a different number of Toll-like receptors

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze and compare the expression of Toll-like receptors by regulatory T cells present in the peritoneal fluid of patients with and without endometriosis. Methods Regulatory T cells were isolated from peritoneal fluid of women with and without endometriosis, collected during su...

Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent kinase II delta B is essential for cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and complement gene expression after LPS and HSP60 stimulation in vitro

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (7), 2019
Inflammation plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), suggesting that the immune system is a target of therapeutic interventions used for treating CVDs. This study evaluated mechanisms underlying inflammatory response and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy associated with bact...

Association between polymorphisms in the genes encoding toll-like receptors and dectin-1 and susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis: a systematic review

Abstract Invasive aspergillosis is a common fungal infection in immunocompromised individuals. Some studies have shown that toll-like receptor and dectin-1 genetic polymorphisms may alter signaling pathways, thus increasing an individual's susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis. We investigated the per...

Innate immunity and effector and regulatory mechanisms involved in allergic contact dermatitis

An. bras. dermatol; 93 (2), 2018
Abstract: Skin's innate immunity is the initial activator of immune response mechanisms, influencing the development of adaptive immunity. Some contact allergens are detected by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and inflammasome NLR3. Keratinocytes participate in innate immunity and, in addition to functioning ...

Characterization of the ligand binding of PGRP-L in half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) by molecular dynamics and free energy calculation

Background: Peptidoglycan (PGN) recognition proteins (PGRPs) are important pattern recognition receptors of the host innate immune system that are involved in the immune defense against bacterial pathogens. PGRPs have been characterized in several fish species. The PGN-binding ability is important for th...
