Toll-like receptor 2 and Toll-like receptor 4 polymorphisms in invasive pneumococcal disease

Microbes and Infection, 2007
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize distinct pathogen-associated molecular patterns and trigger anti-microbial host defense responses. Several in vitro and in vivo studies in mice indicate that TLR2 and TLR4 are involved in the defense against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Studies have revealed associations between polymorphisms in TLRs and human diseases.

Expression of Toll-like Receptor 2 and Toll-like Receptor 4 in Tuberculous Pleural Effusion

Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) and Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) have been reported to play a crucial role in tuberculosis, however, little is known about their expression in tuberculous pleuritis.The goal of this work is to explore the expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 in tuberculous pleuritis and their predominant expressions on cells.Levels of soluble TLR2 ...

Salivary and Plasma Levels of Toll‐Like Receptor 2 and Toll‐Like Receptor 4 in Chronic Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, 2011
Background: This cross‐sectional study was planned to investigate whether patients with chronic periodontitis exhibit different salivary or plasma concentrations of Toll‐like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 compared to subjects who are clinically healthy.Methods: Whole saliva and plasma samples were obtained and full‐mouth clinical periodontal measurements ...

Toll-Like Receptor 4

Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, 2006
Evidence is emerging that exercise training has anti-inflammatory effects. Our early finding that blood cultures from trained subject had a reduced responsiveness to lipopolysaccharide led to a series of studies in which we measured toll-like receptor 4--the primary signaling receptor for lipopolysaccharide.

Comparative fine maps of bovine toll-like receptor 4 and toll-like receptor 2 regions

Mammalian Genome, 2003
Toll-like receptors are cell-surface receptors that activate innate and adaptive immune responses. We have used a 5000-rad, whole-genome radiation hybrid panel to map Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) to the distal end of bovine Chromosome (Chr) 8, and Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) to the proximal end of bovine Chr 17.

Suppression of homodimerization of toll-like receptor 4 by isoliquiritigenin

Phytochemistry, 2010
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play important inductive roles in innate immune responses for host defense against invading microbial pathogens. Activation of TLR4 by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces dimerization of TLR4 and, subsequently, activation of downstream signaling pathways including nuclear factor-kappa B and interferon regulatory factor 3.

Is There a Role for Cardiomyocyte Toll-Like Receptor 4 in Endotoxemia?

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2005
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is thought to be an important molecule in myocardial depression in sepsis. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), the lipopolysaccharide receptor, is known to underlie these responses. Because TLR4 is expressed on both cardiac myocytes and immune cells, it is unclear as to which cell type is responsible for myocyte depression.

Biological role of Toll-like receptor-4 in the brain

Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2014
The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of microbe-sensing receptors that play a central role in the regulation of the host immune system. TLR4 has been described in the brain and seems to regulate some physiological processes, such as neurogenesis. TLR4 has also been reported to play a role during neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's

Involvement of Toll-like receptor 4 in acetaminophen hepatotoxicity

American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2006
The objective of this study was to determine whether Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has a role in alcohol-mediated acetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity. TLR4 is involved in the inflammatory response to endotoxin. Others have found that ethanol-mediated liver disease is decreased in C3H/HeJ mice, which have a mutated TLR4 resulting in a decreased response ...
