Role of TLR4 in Enteric Glia Response to Clostridioides Difficile Toxins: Insights From In Vivo and In Vitro Studies

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile ) is a Gram‐positive anaerobic bacillus that causes intestinal disorders. Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a key role in innate immunity. This study examines the role of TLR4 in the response to C. difficile toxins, which induce cell death and inflammatory responses in enteric glial cells (EGCs).
