Abstract

The Toll-like receptor (TLR) adaptor proteins myeloid differentiating factor 88 (MyD88) and Toll, interleukin-1 receptor and resistance protein (TIR) domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon-β (TRIF) comprise the two principal limbs of the TLR signalling network. We studied the role of these adaptors in the TLR4-dependent inhibition of allergic airway disease and induction of CD4+ ICOS+ T cells by nasal application of Protollin™, a mucosal adjuvant composed of TLR2 and TLR4 agonists. Wild-type (WT), Trif-/- or Myd88-/- mice were sensitized to birch pollen extract (BPEx), then received intranasal Protollin followed by consecutive BPEx challenges. Protollin's protection against allergic airway disease was TRIF-dependent and MyD88-independent. TRIF deficiency diminished the CD4+ ICOS+ T-cell subsets in the lymph nodes draining the nasal mucosa, as well as their recruitment to the lungs. Overall, TRIF deficiency reduced the proportion of cervical lymph node and lung CD4+ ICOS+ Foxp3- cells, in particular. Adoptive transfer of cervical lymph node cells supported a role for Protollin-induced CD4+ ICOS+ cells in the TRIF-dependent inhibition of airway hyper-responsiveness. Hence, our data demonstrate that stimulation of the TLR4-...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Attention Disorders

Attention is involved in all cognitive activities, and attention disorders are reported in patients with various neurological diseases. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to attention disorders.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
