Disease relevance of Myd88

 

High impact information on Myd88

  • Myd88(-/-) and Tlr4(-/-)Tlr2(-/-) mice showed impaired transepithelial migration of inflammatory cells but decreased survival and enhanced epithelial cell apoptosis after lung injury [3].
  • TLR signaling via the Myd88 adaptor protein drove differentiation of myeloid progenitors, bypassing some normal growth and differentiation requirements, and also drove lymphoid progenitors to become dendritic cells [4].
  • In WT and Myd88(-/-) mice, Ptgs2 was expressed in scattered mesenchymal cells [5].
  • Myd88-dependent positioning of Ptgs2-expressing stromal cells maintains colonic epithelial proliferation during injury [5].
  • These findings demonstrate that Myd88 and prostaglandin signaling pathways interact to preserve epithelial proliferation during injury using what we believe to be a previously undescribed mechanism requiring proper cellular mobilization within the crypt niche [5].
 

Biological context of Myd88

 

Anatomical context of Myd88

  • Myd88-dependent in vivo maturation of splenic dendritic cells induced by Leishmania donovani and other Leishmania species [8].
  • The differential role of MyD88 may represent one mechanism by which macrophages regulate innate responses specific to different pathogenic fungi [6].
  • Neutrophilia was completely restored by transferring wild-type bone marrow-derived mast cells into MyD88(-/-) or W/W(v) mice [9].
  • The residual 20% neutrophil infiltration seen in mast cell-deficient and MyD88(-/-) mice was not further reduced by thioperamide [9].
  • However, in response to a TLR4 ligand, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), MyD88-deficient (MyD88(-/-)) DC can up-regulate co-stimulatory molecule expression and enhance their T cell stimulatory activity, indicating that the MyD88-independent pathway through TLR4 can induce some features of DC maturation [7].
 

Associations of Myd88 with chemical compounds

  • In this study, we have further characterized function of LPS-stimulated, MyD88(-/-) DC [7].
 

Regulatory relationships of Myd88

  • In contrast, in response to LPS, MyD88(-/-) DC augmented their ability to induce IL-4 instead of IFN-gamma in alloMLR [7].
 

Other interactions of Myd88

  • Consistently, Irf7-/- mice are more vulnerable than Myd88-/- mice to viral infection, and this correlates with a marked decrease in serum IFN levels, indicating the importance of the IRF-7-dependent induction of systemic IFN responses for innate antiviral immunity [10].
  • Impaired production of T(h)1-inducing cytokines in MyD88(-/-) DC cannot fully account for their increased T(h)2 cell-supporting ability, because absence of T(h)1-inducing cytokines in DC caused impairment of IFN-gamma, but did not lead to augmentation of IL-4 production in alloMLR [7].
  • Cytokine production by MyD88(-/-) macrophages in response to C. albicans yeasts and hyphae was substantially decreased, but responses to A. fumigatus hyphae were preserved [6].
