The Journal of Immunology Transcriptional Regulation of the Human TLR9 Gene1 Fumihiko Takeshita,2* Koichi Suzuki,† Shin Sasaki,‡ Norihisa Ishii,‡ Dennis M. Klinman,* and Ken J. Ishii3* To clarify the molecular basis of human TLR9 (hTLR9) gene expression, the activity of the hTLR9 gene promoter was charac- terized using the human myeloma cell line RPMI 8226. Reporter gene analysis and EMSA demonstrated that hTLR9 gene transcription was regulated via four cis-acting elements, cAMP response element, 5؅-PU box, 3؅-PU box, and a C/EBP site, that interacted with the CREB1, Ets2, Elf1, Elk1, and C/EBP␣ transcription factors. Other members of the C/EBP family, such as C/EBP␤, C/EBP␦, and C/EBP⑀, were also important for TLR9 gene transcription. CpG DNA-mediated suppression of TLR9 gene transcription led to decreased binding of the trans-acting factors to their corresponding cis-acting elements. It appeared that suppression was mediated via c-Jun and NF-␬B p65 and that cooperation among CREB1, Ets2, Elf1, Elk1, and C/EBP␣ culmi- nated in maximal transcription of the TLR9 gene. These findings will help to elucidate the mechanism of TLR9 gene regulation and to provide insight into the process by which TLR9 evolved in the mammalian immune system.

Halldén2 Abstract Background: Variation in the 10 toll-like receptor (TLR) genes has been significantly associated with allergic rhinitis (AR) in several candidate gene studies and three large genome-wide association studies. These have all investigated common variants, but no investigations for rare variants (MAF ≤ 1%) have been made in AR. The present study aims to describe the genetic variation of the promoter and coding sequences of the 10 TLR genes in 288 AR patients. Methods: Sanger sequencing and Ion Torrent next-generation sequencing was used to identify polymorphisms in a Swedish AR population and these were subsequently compared and evaluated using 1000Genomes and Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) data.

  • Toll-Like Receptors and Relevant Emerging Therapeutics with Reference to Delivery Methods
    pharmaceutics Review Toll-Like Receptors and Relevant Emerging Therapeutics with Reference to Delivery Methods Nasir Javaid, Farzana Yasmeen and Sangdun Choi * Department of Molecular Science and Technology, Ajou University, Suwon 16499, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-31-219-2600 Received: 9 July 2019; Accepted: 28 August 2019; Published: 1 September 2019 Abstract: The built-in innate immunity in the human body combats various diseases and their causative agents. One of the components of this system is Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which recognize structurally conserved molecules derived from microbes and/or endogenous molecules. Nonetheless, under certain conditions, these TLRs become hypofunctional or hyperfunctional, thus leading to a disease-like condition because their normal activity is compromised. In this regard, various small-molecule drugs and recombinant therapeutic proteins have been developed to treat the relevant diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and allergy. Some drugs for these diseases have been clinically approved; however, their efficacy can be enhanced by conventional or targeted drug delivery systems. Certain delivery vehicles such as liposomes, hydrogels, nanoparticles, dendrimers, or cyclodextrins can be employed to enhance the targeted drug delivery. This review summarizes the TLR signaling pathway, associated diseases and their treatments, and the ways to efficiently deliver the drugs to a target site. Keywords: Toll-like receptor; immunological disease; therapeutic; drug delivery method 1. Introduction The immune system in an organism is the protective system combating pathogenic and/or abnormal conditions. Innate and adaptive immune systems are two basic components in vertebrates. Adaptive immunity is mediated by T and B lymphocytes with the help of their antigen-specific receptors that are encoded as a result of hypermutability and rearrangements in a genomic region of the organism.

  • Recognition of Lipopolysaccharide Pattern by TLR4 Complexes
    OPEN Experimental & Molecular Medicine (2013) 45, e66; doi:10.1038/emm.2013.97 & 2013 KSBMB. All rights reserved 2092-6413/13 www.nature.com/emm REVIEW Recognition of lipopolysaccharide pattern by TLR4 complexes Beom Seok Park1 and Jie-Oh Lee2 Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Minute amounts of LPS released from infecting pathogens can initiate potent innate immune responses that prime the immune system against further infection. However, when the LPS response is not properly controlled it can lead to fatal septic shock syndrome. The common structural pattern of LPS in diverse bacterial species is recognized by a cascade of LPS receptors and accessory proteins, LPS binding protein (LBP), CD14 and the Toll-like receptor4 (TLR4)–MD-2 complex. The structures of these proteins account for how our immune system differentiates LPS molecules from structurally similar host molecules. They also provide insights useful for discovery of anti-sepsis drugs. In this review, we summarize these structures and describe the structural basis of LPS recognition by LPS receptors and accessory proteins. Experimental & Molecular Medicine (2013) 45, e66; doi:10.1038/emm.2013.97; published online 6 December 2013 Keywords: lipopolysaccharide (LPS); Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4); MD-2; CD14; LBP INTRODUCTION the cell surface by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor. CD14 In the initial phase of infection, the innate immune system splits LPS aggregates into monomeric molecules and presents generates a rapid inflammatory response that blocks the them to the TLR4–MD-2 complex. Aggregation of the TLR4– growth and dissemination of the infectious agent.
