Abstract

TLR4 is the primary recognition molecule for inflammatory responses initiated by bacterial LPS (endotoxin). Internalization of endotoxin by various cell types is an important step for its removal and detoxification. Because of its role as an LPS-signaling receptor, TLR4 has been suggested to be involved in cellular LPS uptake as well. LPS uptake was investigated in primary monocytes and endothelial cells derived from TLR4 and CD14 knockout C57BL/6 mice using tritiated and fluorescein-labeled LPS. Intracellular LPS distribution was investigated by deconvolution confocal microscopy. We could not observe any difference in LPS uptake and intracellular LPS distribution in either monocytes or endothelial cells between TLR4(-/-) and wild-type cells. As expected, CD14(-/-) monocytes showed a highly impaired LPS uptake, confirming CD14-dependent uptake in monocytes. Upon longer incubation periods, the CD14-deficient monocytes mimicked the LPS uptake pattern of endothelial cells. Endothelial cell LPS uptake is slower than monocyte uptake, LBP rather than CD14 dependent, and sensitive to polyanionic polymers, which have been shown to block scavenger receptor-dependent uptake mechanisms. We conclude that TLR4 is not involved in cellular LP...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. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
