Differential modulation of Toll-like receptors by fatty acids preferential inhibition by n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids

TLDR
Results demonstrate that inhibition of COX-2 expression by n-3 PUFAs is mediated through the modulation of TLR-mediated signaling pathways, and the beneficial or detrimental effects of different types of dietary fatty acids on the risk of the development of many chronic inflammatory diseases may be in part mediated throughThe modulation ofTLRs.

GPR120 is an Omega-3 Fatty Acid Receptor Mediating Potent Anti-Inflammatory and Insulin Sensitizing Effects

TL;DR: GPR120 is a functional omega-3 FA receptor/sensor and mediates potent insulin sensitizing and antidiabetic effects in vivo by repressing macrophage-induced tissue inflammation.

A Paracrine Loop Between Adipocytes and Macrophages Aggravates Inflammatory Changes Role of Free Fatty Acids and Tumor Necrosis Factor α

TL;DR: It is postulate that a paracrine loop involving FFAs and TNF-α between adipocytes and macrophages establishes a vicious cycle that aggravates inflammatory changes in the adipose tissue.

Defective LPS Signaling in C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10ScCr Mice: Mutations in Tlr4 Gene

TL;DR: The mammalian Tlr4 protein has been adapted primarily to subserve the recognition of LPS and presumably transduces the LPS signal across the plasma membrane.

A human homologue of the Drosophila Toll protein signals activation of adaptive immunity

TL;DR: The cloning and characterization of a human homologue of the Drosophila toll protein (Toll) is reported, which has been shown to induce the innate immune response in adult Dosophila.

Toll-like receptors in the induction of the innate immune response

TL;DR: A group of proteins that comprise the Toll or Toll-like family of receptors perform this role in vertebrate and invertebrate organisms and it is therefore not surprising that studies of the mechanism by which they act has revealed new and important insights into host defence.

Up-regulation of cyclooxygenase 2 gene expression in human colorectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas

TL;DR: COX-2, but not COX-1, gene expression is markedly elevated in most human colorectal cancers compared with accompanying normal mucosa, and COx-2 expression seems to be increased in a subset of adenomas.
