Epigenetic and Transcriptional Regulation of IRAK-M Expression in Macrophages [PDF]
Abstract During macrophage activation, expression of IL-1R–associated kinase (IRAK)-M is induced to suppress TLR-mediated responses and is a hallmark of endotoxin tolerance. Endotoxin tolerance requires tight regulation of genes occurring at the transcriptional and epigenetic levels.

Interleukin Receptor Associated Kinase 1 Signaling and Its Association with Cardiovascular Diseases
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) directly interact with intracellular interleukin receptor associated kinase (IRAK) family members to initialize innate immune and inflammatory responses following activation by pathogen ...

Immunoregulatory effects triggered by immunobiotic Lactobacillus jensenii TL2937 strain involve efficient phagocytosis in porcine antigen presenting cells [PDF]
Background: Immunobiotic Lactobacillus jensenii TL2937 modulates porcine mononuclear phagocytes from Peyer?s patches (PPMPs) and induces a differential production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 ...

IRAK-M alters the polarity of macrophages to facilitate the survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
Intracellular bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), infects specifically macrophages as host cells. IRAK-M, a member of IRAK family, is a negative regulator in TLR signaling and specifically expresses in monocytes and macrophages. The role of IRAK-M in intracellular growth of M.

Endogenous IRAK-M attenuates postinfarction remodeling through effects on macrophages and fibroblasts. [PDF]
Objective— Effective postinfarction repair requires timely suppression of innate immune signals to prevent the catastrophic consequences of uncontrolled inflammation on cardiac geometry and function. In macrophages, interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK)-M acts as a functional decoy preventing uncontrolled toll-like ...

Evaluation of the immunomodulatory activities of the probiotic strain lactobacillus fermentum UCO-979C [PDF]
Lactobacillus fermentum UCO-979C, a strain isolated from a human stomach, was previously characterized by its potential probiotic properties. The UCO-979C strain displayed the ability to beneficially regulate the innate immune response triggered by ...

Adiponectin Promotes Endotoxin Tolerance in Macrophages by Inducing IRAK-M Expression [PDF]
Abstract High levels of plasma adiponectin are associated with low levels of inflammatory markers and cardioprotection. The mechanism via which adiponectin exerts its anti-inflammatory effect is yet unknown. In the present study, we demonstrate that globular adiponectin (gAd) induces the expression of the inactive isoform of IL-1R ...
