Abstract

Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4/MD-2 dimerization is thought to be required for the initiation of signaling during innate immune responses. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanisms underlying receptor dimerization in the context of accessory molecules, i.e. CD14 and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), to determine whether dimerization is required for the initiation of signaling in response to LPS stimulation. We found that LPS-induced TLR4/MD-2 dimerization occurred only in membrane-associated CD14 (mCD14)-expressing cells. Furthermore, dimerization required LBP, but not soluble CD14 (sCD14), as an essential serum component. LPS-induced signaling as assessed by IkappaB-alpha degradation, however, occurred in mCD14-negative cells in the presence of serum and sCD14. Signaling also occurred in mCD14-positive cells in the absence of serum. Time course studies on mCD14-positive cells have demonstrated that LPS stimulation induces rapid activation of nuclear factor-kappaB and p38 in the presence of LBP (TLR4/MD-2 receptor dimerization) as compared with stimulation without LBP (receptor non-dimerization). This early activation was blocked by inhibitory anti-CD14 mAb. These studies suggest that LPS-induced TLR4/MD-2 recepto...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
