Disease relevance of SIGIRR

 

High impact information on SIGIRR

  • Whereas both the extracellular Ig domain and the intracellular TIR domains are important for SIGIRR to inhibit IL-1 signaling, only the TIR domain is necessary for SIGIRR to inhibit LPS signaling [4].
  • Up-regulation of MyD88s and SIGIRR, molecules inhibiting Toll-like receptor signaling, in monocytes from septic patients [5].
  • To investigate whether polymorphisms in these genes were associated with asthma or asthma-related phenotypes, we screened these genes for polymorphisms by direct sequencing of 24 asthmatics and identified 19 variants in IRAK-M and 12 variants in SIGIRR [6].
  • None of the alleles or haplotypes of IRAK-M and SIGIRR were associated with asthma susceptibility or asthma-related phenotype [6].
  • In the kidney, the organ with highest mRNA levels, TIR8 expression was confined to epithelial cells and, in situ, to tubular epithelium [7].
 

Anatomical context of SIGIRR

  • Resting and activated T and B lymphocytes and monocytes-macrophages expressed little or no TIR8, with the exception of the mouse GG2EE macrophage line [7].
 

Associations of SIGIRR with chemical compounds

  • The Toll-interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing orphan receptor SIGIRR (single immunoglobulin interleukin-1 receptor-related protein) acts as a negative regulator of interleukin (IL)-1 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) signaling [4].
