Abstract

Bacterial and viral infections often induce the exacerbation of allergic diseases. In this study, we investigated the activation of human eosinophils by different microbial products via Toll-like receptors (TLRs). The underlying intracellular mechanism involving activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), an integrin-associated focal adhesion molecule, was also examined. Seven TLR ligands were studied for their abilities in promoting survival, modulating the expression of adhesion molecules and facilitating chemotactic migration of eosinophils. While peptidoglycan (PGN) (TLR2 ligand) showed the most prominent effects, flagellin (TLR5 ligand) and imiquimod R837 (TLR7 ligand) were also effective in activating eosinophils. However, little or no effect was observed for double-stranded polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (TLR3 ligand), ultra-purified LPS (TLR4 ligand), single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) (TLR8 ligand) and CpG-DNA (TLR9 ligand). Further investigation confirmed that PGN, flagellin and R837 commonly transmitted signals through ERK activation that required prior phosphorylation of tyrosine 925, but not tyrosine 577, on FAK. Moreover, the inhibition of ERK activation by selective inhibi...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
