Gene context of Mycoplasma

  • Heat-inactivated mycoplasma particles induce inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF in monocytes, as well as in THP-1 cells [26].
  • Mycoplasma fermentans lipoprotein M161Ag-induced cell activation is mediated by Toll-like receptor 2: role of N-terminal hydrophobic portion in its multiple functions [27].
  • We evaluated the effects of mycoplasma infection on the steady-state mRNA levels of two cytokines IL-1 alpha and beta [28].
  • TLR6 has been shown to be required for the recognition of diacylated lipoproteins and lipopeptides derived from mycoplasma and to activate the NF-kappaB signaling cascade in conjunction with TLR2 [29].
  • A Mycoplasma fermentans-derived synthetic lipopeptide induces AP-1 and NF-kappaB activity and cytokine secretion in macrophages via the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways [30].
