TLDR
This article examined the responses of mice lacking DAP12 to stimulation through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and found that one or more DAP-pairing receptors negatively regulate signaling through TLRs.Abstract:
DAP12 is a signaling adaptor containing an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) that pairs with receptors on myeloid cells and natural killer cells. We examine here the responses of mice lacking DAP12 to stimulation through Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Unexpectedly, DAP12-deficient macrophages produced higher concentrations of inflammatory cytokines in response to a variety of pathogenic stimuli. Additionally, macrophages deficient in spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), which signals downstream of DAP12, showed a phenotype identical to that of DAP12-deficient macrophages. DAP12-deficient mice were more susceptible to endotoxic shock and had enhanced resistance to infection by the intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. These data suggest that one or more DAP12-pairing receptors negatively regulate signaling through TLRs.read more

Non-canonical roles of Siglecs: Beyond sialic acid-binding and immune cell modulation.
TL;DR: Siglec receptors are I-type lectins that bind with sialic acid ligands (Sia) and possess immune tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in the intracellular domain, thus leading to inhibition of the immune response as discussed by the authors .

DAP12 impacts trafficking and surface stability of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors on natural killer cells
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the interaction between the KIR2DS and their adapter, DAP12, was investigated beyond the previously defined signaling function, and the results suggest that in vivo conditions that adversely affect DAP 12 expression will indirectly reduce surface expression and stability of KIR 2DS.

TLR4-Pathway-Associated Biomarkers in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH): Potential Targets for Future Anti-Inflammatory Therapies
Rebecca Heinz,Ulf C. Schneider +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the activity of the TLR4 pathway and its contributors, which can act as biomarkers of neuroinflammation or even offer potential new treatment targets for secondary neuronal cell death after SAH.

Intracellular Effectors of Synaptic Dysfunction and Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's and other Neurodegenerative Diseases
TL;DR: Several catenins regulating cadherin-mediated signaling, and lipid signal modulators organizing phosphoinositide (PI) or 2-AG metabolism in neurons and glia are focused on; special attention is given to how the microglial surveillance system is disorganized during the progression of neurodegeneration in AD and PD models.

TL;DR: This method allows by simple means the generation of high numbers of murine DC with very low B cell or granulocyte contaminations, which will be valuable to study DC biology notably at the molecular level.

TL;DR: The current state of the field regarding the natural ligands and molecular factors required for positive and negative selection are summarized and a model for how these disparate outcomes can be signaled via the same receptor is discussed.

IRAK-M is a negative regulator of toll-like receptor signaling
TL;DR: IRAK-M regulates TLR signaling and innate immune homeostasis and prevents dissociation of IRAK and IRAK-4 from MyD88 and formation of IRAk-TRAF6 complexes.
