Disease relevance of TLR4

  • The effects of two genomic regions on chromosomes 7 and 17 harboring two genes, NRAMP1 (SLC11A1) and TLR4, known to be involved in the level of chicken infection 3 d after inoculation by Salmonella were thus tested on a total of 331 hens orally inoculated at the peak of lay with 10(9) bacteria [1].
 

High impact information on TLR4

  • Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) within the SLC11A1 and TLR4 gene were tested on those animals as well as on a second batch of 279 hens whose resistance was assessed in the same conditions [1].
  • The results showed that Sephadex-elicited, adherence purified K macrophages expressed more inducible TLR4 and CD14 receptors (P<0.05) at 6 and 12h post-LPS stimulation than GB2 macrophages as measured by flow cytometry [2].
  • Our results demonstrate that PI-PLC plays a critical role, most likely through activation of PKC pathway, in TLR4 mediated immune responses of avian macrophage cells to LPS [3].
