Vitamin D3 down-regulates intracellular Toll-like receptor 9 expression and Toll-like receptor 9-induced IL-6 production in human monocytes [PDF]
To determine whether vitamin D(3) modulates monocytic expression of intracellular Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3, 7 and 9.Human monocytes were isolated from peripheral blood and cultured with 100 nM vitamin D(3) for 24, 48 and 72 h. Expression of CD14 and TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR7 and TLR9 were examined by flow cytometry.

Activation of Toll-like Receptor 2 (TLR2) induces Interleukin-6 trans-signaling [PDF]
AbstractSignaling of the pleiotropic cytokine Interleukin-6 (IL-6) via its soluble IL-6R (sIL-6R) has been termed trans-signaling and is thought to be responsible for the pro-inflammatory properties of IL-6. The sIL-6R can be generated by alternative mRNA splicing or proteolytic cleavage of the membrane-bound IL-6R. However, which stimuli induce sIL-6R

Toll-like receptor (TLR)-9 recognizes CpG motifs in microbial DNA. TLR9 signalling stimulates innate antimicrobial immunity and modulates adaptive immune responses including autoimmunity against chromatin, e.g., in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ...

Toll-like receptors 2 and 6 mediate apoptosis and inflammation in ischemic skeletal myotubes [PDF]
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is associated with skeletal muscle damage. However, the pathophysiology of the muscle damage is poorly understood. Toll-like receptors (TLR) have been attributed to play a role in ischemia-induced tissue damage but their role in skeletal muscle damage in CLI is unknown.

Rice sprouts exert immunostimulatory activity in mouse macrophages, RAW264.7 cells
Rice sprouts are reported to have potential as a functional food agent for health promotion, but studies on the biological activity of rice sprouts are insufficient. Thus, in this study, we investigated whether WERS exhibits immunostimulatory activity in

Effect of smoking on the genetic makeup of toll-like receptors 2 and 6
Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for lung cancer, asthma, and oral cancer, and is central to the altered innate immune responsiveness to infection. Many hypotheses have provided evidence that cigarette smoking induces more genetic changes in genes involved in the development of many cigarette-related diseases. This alteration may be from single-

Chicken Toll-like Receptor 3 Recognizes Its Cognate Ligand When Ectopically Expressed in Human Cells [PDF]
Recognition of pathogens by toll-like receptors (TLRs) causes activation of signaling cascades that trigger cytokine secretion and, ultimately, innate immunity.
