The innate immune system provides the first line of host defense against invading microorganisms before the development of
adaptive immune responses. Innate immune responses are initiated by germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs),
which recognize specific structures of microorganisms. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern-recognition receptors that sense
a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. TLRs exist either on the cell surface or
in the lysosome/endosome compartment and induce innate immune responses. Recently, cytoplasmic PRRs have been identified which
detect pathogens that have invaded the cytosol. This review focuses on the pathogen recognition of PRRs in innate immunity. 相似文献

Toll-like receptors and corneal innate immunity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ocular surface is constantly exposed to a wide array of microorganisms. The ability of the cornea to recognize pathogens as foreign and eliminate them is critical to retain its transparency, hence preservation of sight. In the eye, as in other parts of the body, the early response against invading pathogens is provided by innate immunity. Corneal innate immune system uses a series of pattern recognition receptors to detect the presence of pathogens thus allowing for rapid host defense responses to invading microbes. A key component of such receptors is the "Toll-like receptors" (TLRs), which have come to occupy the center stage in innate immunity against invading pathogens. An increasing number of studies have shown that TLRs are expressed by a variety of tissues and cells of the eye and play an important role in ocular defense against microbial infection. Here in this review we summarize the current knowledge about TLR expression in human eye with main emphasis on the cornea, and discuss the future directions of the field. 相似文献

Regulation of mammalian defensin expression by Toll-like receptor-dependent and independent signalling pathways 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Froy O 《Cellular microbiology》2005,7(10):1387-1397
The immune system consists of innate and adaptive immune responses. The innate immune system confers non-specific protection against a large number of pathogens, hence, serving as the first line of defence. The innate immune system utilizes Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to recognize and bind pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Binding of PAMPs leads to TLR activation, which, in turn, initiates MAPK- or NF-kappaB-dependent cascades that culminate in a proinflammatory response. This response involves the secretion of cytokines, chemokines and broad-spectrum antibacterial substances, such as defensins. Increased defensin synthesis is also mediated by the activation of receptors other than TLRs, such as NOD2, IL-17R and PAR-2. This review summarizes the recently characterized signalling pathways leading to increased defensin synthesis as well as the pathway by which defensins activate TLRs on immature dendritic and memory T cells. Thus, not only do defensins eliminate pathogens, but they also recruit the adaptive immune system in instances of infection and/or inflammation. 相似文献

Innate immunity provides the first line of defense against invading pathogens and is essential for survival in the absence of adaptive immune responses. Innate immune recognition relies on a limited number of germ-line encoded receptors, such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs), that evolved to recognize conserved molecular patterns of microbial origin. To date, ten transmembrane proteins in the TLR family have been described. It is becoming increasingly clear that bacterial CpG DNA and synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing unmethylated CpG are potent inducers of the innate immune system including dendritic cells (DCs), macrophages, and natural killer (NK) and NKT cells. Recent studies indicate that mucosal or systemic delivery of CpG DNA can act as a potent adjuvant in a vaccine combination or act alone as an anti-microbial agent. Recently, it was shown that TLR9 is essential for the recognition of unmethylated CpG DNA since cells from TLR9-deficient mice are unresponsive to CpG stimulation. Although the effects of CpG DNA on bone marrow-derived cells are beginning to unfold, there has been little or no information regarding the mechanisms of CpG DNA function on non-immune cells or tissues. This review focuses on the recent advances in CpG-DNA/TLR9 signaling effects on the activation of innate immunity. 相似文献

The innate immune system is the primary line of defence against invading pathogenic microbes. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of membrane receptors which play a pivotal role in sensing a wide range of invading pathogens including bacteria, fungi and viruses. TLR-deficient mice have provided us with immense knowledge on the functioning of individual TLRs. Dysregulation of TLR signalling is linked with a number of disease conditions. Disease models have helped show that targeting components of TLR signalling cascades could lead to novel therapies in the treatment of infectious diseases. In this review we focus on the evidence provided to date to explain just how important TLRs are in host defence against microbial pathogens. 相似文献

Dendritic cells and C-type lectin receptors: coupling innate to adaptive immune responses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Dendritic cells (DCs) have an important function in the initiation and differentiation of immune responses, linking innate information to tailored adaptive responses. Depending on the pathogen invading the body, specific immune responses are built up that are crucial for eliminating the pathogen from the host. Host recognition of invading microorganisms relies on evolutionarily ancient, germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that are highly expressed on the cell surface of DCs, of which the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are well characterized and recognize bacterial or viral components. Moreover, they bind a variety of self-proteins released from damaged tissues including several heat-shock proteins. The membrane-associated C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) recognize glycan structures expressed by host cells of the immune system or on specific tissues, which upon recognition allow cellular interactions between DCs and other immune or tissue cells. In addition, CLRs can function as PRRs. In contrast to TLRs, CLRs recognize carbohydrate structures present on the pathogens. Modification of glycan structures on pathogens to mimic host glycans can thereby alter CLR interactions that subsequently modifies DC-induced polarization. In this review, we will discuss in detail how specific glycosylation of antigens can dictate both the innate and adaptive interactions that are mediated by CLRs on DCs and how this balances immune activation and inhibition of DC function. 相似文献

Protozoan encounters with Toll-like receptor signalling pathways: implications for host parasitism 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have emerged as a major receptor family involved in non-self recognition. They have a vital role in triggering innate immunity and orchestrate the acquired immune response during bacterial and viral infection. However, the role of TLRs during infection with protozoan pathogens is less clear. Nevertheless, our understanding of how these parasitic microorganisms engage the host TLR signalling system has now entered a phase of rapid expansion. This Review describes recent insights into how parasitic protozoans are sensed by TLR molecules, and how the TLR system itself can be targeted by these microbial pathogens for their own survival. 相似文献

Recognition of invading pathogens by the innate immune system is essential to initiate antimicrobial responses and trigger adaptive immunity. This is largely mediated by an array of pattern‐recognition receptor families that are essential for recognizing conserved molecular motifs characteristic of pathogenic microbes. One such family is the Toll‐like receptors (TLRs). Activation of TLRs induces production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons: the former triggers the synthesis of inflammatory mediators which cause fever, pain and other inflammation, and the latter mediates antiviral responses. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in structural elucidation of TLRs in higher eukaryotes. The TLR structures with and without agonist and antagonist have been revealed by X‐ray crystallography and cryo‐electron microscopy studies, demonstrating the activated dimer formation induced by the agonistic ligand and the inhibition mechanism of the antagonistic ligand. Intracellular assembled structures and the TLR‐chaperone complex are also reported. As the structural understanding of TLRs becomes better integrated with biochemical and immunological studies, a more comprehensive picture of their architectural and functional properties will emerge. This review summarizes recent advances in structural biological and mechanistic studies on TLRs. 相似文献

Post-translational protein modifications are involved in all functions of living cells. This includes the ability of cells to recognize pathogens and regulate genes involved in their clearance, a concept known as innate immunity. While phosphorylation mechanisms play essential roles in regulating different aspects of the innate immune response, ubiquitination is now recognized as another post-translational modification that works in parallel with phosphorylation to orchestrate the final proper innate immune response against invading pathogens. More precisely, this review will discuss the most recent advances that address the role of ubiquitination in pattern-recognition receptors and type I interferon receptor signaling. 相似文献

The availability of effective vaccines has had the most profound positive effect on improving the quality of public health
by preventing infectious diseases. Despite many successful vaccines, there are still old and new emerging pathogens against
which there is no vaccine available. A better understanding of how vaccines work for providing protection will help to improve
current vaccines as well as to develop effective vaccines against pathogens for which we do not have a proper means to control.
Recent studies have focused on innate immunity as the first line of host defense and its role in inducing adaptive immunity;
such studies have been an intense area of research, which will reveal the immunological mechanisms how vaccines work for protection.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs), a family of receptors for pathogen-associated molecular patterns on cells of the innate immune
system, play a critical role in detecting and responding to microbial infections. Importantly, the innate immune system modulates
the quantity and quality of longterm T and B cell memory and protective immune responses to pathogens. Limited studies suggest
that vaccines which mimic natural infection and/or the structure of pathogens seem to be effective in inducing long-term protective
immunity. A better understanding of the similarities and differences of the molecular and cellular events in host responses
to vaccination and pathogen infection would enable the rationale for design of novel preventive measures against many challenging
pathogens. 相似文献

Members of the Toll-like receptor family of innate immunity pattern-recognition receptors are abundant in the male rat reproductive tract 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Protecting developing and maturing spermatozoa and reproductive tissues from microbial damage is an emerging aspect of research in reproductive physiology. Bacterial, viral, and yeast infections of the testis and epididymis can hinder maturation and movement of spermatozoa, resulting in impaired fertility. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a broad family of innate immunity receptors that play critical roles in detecting and responding to invading pathogens. Objectives of this study were to determine if organs of the rat male reproductive tract express mRNAs for members of the TLR family, to characterize expression patterns for TLRs in different regions of the epididymis, and to determine if TLR adaptor and target proteins are present in the male reproductive tract. Messenger RNA for Tlr1-Tlr9 was abundantly expressed in testis, epididymis, and vas deferens, as determined by RT-PCR, while Tlr10 and Tlr11 were less abundantly expressed. Tlr mRNA expression showed no region-specific patterns in the epididymis. Immunoblot analysis revealed relatively equal levels of protein for TLRs 1, 2, 4, and 6 in testis, all regions of the epididymis and vas deferens, and lower levels of TLRs 3, 5, and 9-11. TLR7 was primarily detected in the testis. The TLR adapter proteins, myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 and TLR adaptor molecule 1, as well as v-rel reticuloendotheliosis viral oncogene homolog and NFKBIA, were prominent in testis, epididymis, and vas deferens. The abundant expression of a majority of TLR family members together with expression of TLR adaptors and activation targets provides strong evidence that TLRs play important roles in innate immunity of the male reproductive tract. 相似文献
