TLR8 aggravates skin inflammation and fibrosis by activating skin fibroblasts in systemic sclerosis

56 views | Nov 17 2023

The study demonstrates that Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) plays a pivotal role in promoting skin inflammation and fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), potentially offering a promising therapeutic target for improving SSc treatment strategies. [Read the Full Post]

Involvement of Abnormal p-α-syn Accumulation and TLR2-Mediated Inflammation of Schwann Cells in Enteric Autonomic Nerve Dysfunction of Parkinson's Disease: an Animal Model Study

45 views | Oct 17 2023

This study reveals that the accumulation of phosphorylated α-synuclein and Toll-like receptor 2 signaling in Schwann cells are implicated in disrupted gut homeostasis, highlighting the potential of targeting the TLR2-mediated pathway as a therapy for gastrointestinal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease.

An injectable superior depot of Telratolimod inhibits post-surgical tumor recurrence and distant metastases

82 views | Sep 17 2023

The development of an injectable phase transition gel (PGE) for the delivery of Telratolimod (Tel) enhances the immunotherapeutic effects while reducing the risk of adverse effects, providing a clinically available option for effective postoperative combined therapy. [Read the Full Post]

5-FU mediated depletion of myeloid suppressor cells enhances T-cell infiltration and anti-tumor response in immunotherapy-resistant lung tumor

217 views | Jul 19 2023

Depletion of MDSCs using low-dose 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy showed significant anti-tumor effects by increasing the infiltration of CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells in a cold tumor model of Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC). [Read the Full Post]

TLR4 is one of the receptors for Chikungunya virus envelope protein E2 and regulates virus induced pro-inflammatory responses in host macrophages

151 views | Jun 11 2023

TLR4 inhibition using TAK-242 reduces CHIKV infection by decreasing viral copy number, CHIKV-E2 protein levels, and pro-inflammatory responses, highlighting TLR4 as a novel receptor involved in viral entry and modulation of infection-induced inflammation. [Read the Full Post]

Liver X Receptor Activation Attenuates Oxysterol-Induced Inflammatory Responses in Fetoplacental Endothelial Cells

152 views | Jun 11 2023

The study suggests that 7-ketocholesterol and 7β-hydroxycholesterol induce placental inflammation in gestational diabetes mellitus by activating TLR-4 and that pharmacological activation of LXR can attenuate the pro-inflammatory effects of these oxysterols in fetoplacental endothelial cells.

A myeloid leukemia factor homolog is involved in tolerance to stresses and stress-induced protein metabolism in Giardia lamblia

112 views | May 16 2023

This study investigated the role of MLF vesicles in G. lamblia and found that they share similar stress-induced characteristics with autophagy compartments and are important for survival in stress conditions. [Read the Full Post]

Chronic Inhibition of Toll-Like Receptor 9 Ameliorates Pulmonary Hypertension in Rats

47 views | May 12 2023

TLR9 activation via the NF-κB‒IL-6 pathway contributes to the development of pulmonary hypertension and inhibition of TLR9 may serve as a promising therapeutic approach. [Read the Full Post]

Targeting TLR2/Rac1/cdc42/JNK Pathway to Reveal That Ruxolitinib Promotes Thrombocytopoiesis

56 views | May 09 2023

Ruxolitinib has been shown to facilitate megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation, leading to accelerated thrombocytopoiesis in radiation-injured thrombocytopenia mice, possibly via activation of the Rac1/cdc42/JNK pathway through binding to Toll Like Receptor 2 (TLR2). [Read the Full Post]
