Association of Toll-like receptor 2 polymorphisms with gout
Gout is the most common autoinflammatory arthritis characterized by elevated serum urate and recurrent attacks of intra-articular crystal deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) in tissues. The pathogenesis of gout has not been fully determined, although certain genetic factors are involved in the development of gout.

Toll-Like Receptors in Neurodegeneration
The key roles of toll-like receptors (TLRs) as mediators of the detection and responses of immune cells to invading pathogens are well known. There are at least 13 mammalian TLRs which are integral membrane proteins with a leucine- rich extracellular ...

Involvement of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 in the Inflammatory Responses of Human LAD2 Mast Cells and Basophils [PDF]
We recently showed that hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) plays a crucial role in the pro-allergic functions of human basophils by transcriptional control of energy metabolism via glycolysis as well as directly triggering expression of the angiogenic ...

Relationship between Arg753Gln Toll-like receptor 2 and Asp299Gly Toll-like receptor 4 genetic variations and susceptibility to colorectal cancer in Southern Iran [PDF]
Variations in Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) encoding genes have been associated with tumorigenesis through the disruption of immune and inflammatory responses.

Toll-like receptor 2 and Toll-like receptor 4-dependent activation of B cells by a polysaccharide from marine fungus Phoma herbarum YS4108. [PDF]
Various natural polysaccharides are capable of activating the immune system and therefore can be employed as biological response modifiers in anti-tumor therapy.

Rewiring of sIgM-mediated intracellular signaling through the CD180 toll-like receptor [PDF]
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) development and progression is thought to be driven by unknown antigens/autoantigens through the B cell receptor (BCR), and environmental signals for survival and expansion including Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands ...

Chitin modulates innate immune responses of keratinocytes. [PDF]
Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment.

Toll-Like Receptor 2 (TLR-2) Gene Polymorphisms In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Objective Innate immunity factors are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and its complications. Therefore, T2DM has been suggested to be an immune-dependent disease. Elevated fasting glucose level and higher concentrations of innate immunity soluble

Toll-like receptor 2 suppresses Toll-like receptor 9 responses in Peyer's patch dendritic cells
In the intestine, immune responses to commensal microbes should be regulated precisely. This regulation is achieved partly by dendritic cells (DCs), which recognize microbes through Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Although TLR responses have been intensely studied, cross-talk between individual TLRs remains unclear.

Toll-like receptor 2 confers partial neuroprotection during prion disease.
Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration are common during prion infection, but the mechanisms that underlie these pathological features are not well understood. Several components of innate immunity, such as Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and Complement C1q,
