MicroRNAs and Toll-like Receptor/Interleukin-1 Receptor Signaling [PDF]
The discovery of miRNAs has revolutionized the way we examine the genome, RNA products, and the regulation of transcription and translation. Their ability to modulate protein expression through mRNA degradation and translation repression resulted in avid

The Use of Toll-Like Receptor Agonists in HIV-1 Cure Strategies [PDF]
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors and part of the first line of defense against invading microbes. In humans, we know of 10 different TLRs, which are expressed to varying degrees in immune cell subsets.

A study of the modulation of Toll-like receptor signalling in macrophages by Annexin-1 [PDF]
PhDAnnexin-A1 (AnxA1) is an endogenous anti-inflammatory protein that has been shown to exert a protective role against the lethal effects induced by the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 agonist lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Distribution of Toll‐like receptor 1 and Toll‐like receptor 2 in human lymphoid tissue [PDF]
SummaryTo determine how distinct receptors of the immune system can contribute to innate immunity, we investigated the pattern of Toll‐like receptor 1 (TLR1) and TLR2 expression in human lymphoid tissue. We found that TLR1 and TLR2 were co‐expressed on cells of the innate immune system, including macrophages and dendritic cells.

Toll-like receptor 1 inhibits Toll-like receptor 4 signaling in endothelial cells [PDF]
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is the signal-transducing component of the LPS recognition complex and is essential for LPS-induced septic shock. Here we demonstrate that TLR1 has the capacity to abrogate TLR4 signaling. Human microvascular endothelial cells express TLR4 but not TLR1 and respond to LPS through TLR4. The ability of these cells to respond to

Species-Specific Recognition of Aspergillus fumigatus by Toll-like Receptor 1 and Toll-like Receptor 6 [PDF]
Aspergillus fumigatus causes invasive aspergillosis, a potentially fatal infection in oncohematological patients. Innate immune detection of A. fumigatus involves Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and TLR2, which forms a heterodimer with either TLR1 or TLR6.

Decoys and Regulatory “Receptors” of the IL-1/Toll-Like Receptor Superfamily [PDF]
Members of the IL-1 family play a key role in innate and adaptive immunity and in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases. Members of IL-1R like receptor (ILR) family include signaling molecules and negative regulators. The latter include decoy receptors (IL-1RII; IL-18BP) and "receptors" with regulatory function (TIR8/SIGIRR; IL-1RAcPb; DIGIRR ...

Toll-like receptor 1 polymorphisms increase susceptibility to candidemia. [PDF]
Candidemia is a severe invasive fungal infection with high mortality. Recognition of Candida species is mediated through pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). This study assessed whether genetic variation in TLR signaling influences susceptibility to candidemia.Thirteen mostly nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
