Exploiting poly(I:C) to induce cancer cell apoptosis [PDF]

Cancer Biology & Therapy, 2017
TLR3 belong to the Toll-like receptors family, it is mainly expressed on immune cells where it senses pathogen-associated molecular patterns and initiates innate immune response. TLR3 agonist poly(I:C) was developed to mimic pathogens infection and boost immune system activation to promote anti-cancer therapy. Accordingly, TLR agonists were included in

Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by intracellular poly I:C [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2010
Several RNA viruses can be detected by the inflammasome, which promotes IL‐1β and IL‐18 secretion, but the underlying mechanisms of detection remain unclear. Cytosolic dsRNA is a replication intermediate of many RNA viruses. We show here that transfection of the dsRNA analogue poly I:C activates the NLRP3 inflammasome via a pathway requiring endosomal ...

Are physiological oscillations physiological?

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

LPS vs. Poly I:C Model

American Journal of Physiology - Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2021
A prominent health issue nowadays is the COVID-19 pandemic, which poses acute risks to human health. However, the long-term health consequences are largely unknown and cannot be neglected. An especially vulnerable period for infection is pregnancy, when infections could have long-term health effect on the child.

ORMDL3 regulates poly I:C induced inflammatory responses in airway epithelial cells [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Abstract Background Oroscomucoid 3 (ORMDL3) has been linked to susceptibility of childhood asthma and respiratory viral infection. Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) is a synthetic analog of viral double-stranded RNA, a toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) ligand and mimic of viral infection.

Antigenicity of Double-Stranded Ribonucleic Acids Including Poly I:C

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1972
SummaryRabbits repeatedly injected intravenously with poly I:C developed antibodies reactive with poly I:C. However, oral or nasal administration of poly I:C to rabbits failed to stimulate detectable circulating antibodies. Intravenous injection of ICR mice, guinea pigs, and grivet monkeys also failed to stimulate a detectable circulating antibody ...

Induction of Interferon in Human Subjects by Poly I:C

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1971
SummaryPoly I:C (rIn:rCn), a synthetic double-stranded polynucleotide previously demonstrated to be a potent inducer of interferon and host resistance to viral infection in cell culture and in animals, has been successfully used to induce interferon in human beings.

Short-term effects of Poly(I:C) on gut permeability

Pharmacological Research, 2015
The intestinal barrier function depends on an adequate response to pathogens by the epithelium. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3) recognizes double-stranded RNA, a virus-associated molecular pattern. Activation of TLR-3 with Poly(I:C), a synthetic agonist, modulates tissue repair and permeability in other epithelia; however, the effects of local luminal TLR-

Poly(I:C) coated PLGA microparticles induce dendritic cell maturation

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2009
Microparticles from poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) [PLGA] are of steadily rising interest for the delivery of antigens to immune cells and the induction of a long-lasting immune response for vaccination or immunological tumor therapy. However, if the desired vaccine contains only weak antigens and fails to activate the antigen presenting cells (APC),
