TLDR
Recent advances that have been made by research into the role of TLR biology in host defense and disease are described.
Abstract
The discovery of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) as components that recognize conserved structures in pathogens has greatly advanced understanding of how the body senses pathogen invasion, triggers innate immune responses and primes antigen-specific adaptive immunity. Although TLRs are critical for host defense, it has become apparent that loss of negative regulation of TLR signaling, as well as recognition of self molecules by TLRs, are strongly associated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, it is now clear that the interaction between TLRs and recently identified cytosolic innate immune sensors is crucial for mounting effective immune responses. Here we describe the recent advances that have been made by research into the role of TLR biology in host defense and disease.

Cutting Edge: The Immunostimulatory Activity of the Lung Surfactant Protein-A Involves Toll-Like

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the molecular mechanisms related to the immunostimulatory activity of collectin surfactant protein-A using macrophages from C3H/HeJ mice, which carry an inactivating mutation in the Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 gene, and TLR4-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells.

PDLIM2-mediated termination of transcription factor NF-kappaB activation by intranuclear sequestration and degradation of the p65 subunit.

TL;DR: It is reported that PDLIM2 negatively regulated NF-κB activity, acting as a nuclear ubiquitin E3 ligase targeting the p65 subunit of NF-σB, which resulted in larger amounts of nuclear p65, defective p65 ubiquitination and augmented production of proinflammatory cytokines in response to innate stimuli.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SP-A-induced activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and up-regulation of cytokine synthesis such as TNF-α and IL-10 are critically dependent on the TLR4 functional complex.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase Nrdp1 'preferentially' promotes TLR-mediated production of type I interferon

TL;DR: Nrdp1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, inhibited the production of proinflammatory cytokines but increased interferon-β production in Toll-like receptor–triggered macrophages by suppressing adaptor MyD88–dependent activation of transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1 while promoting activation of the kinase TBK1 and transcription factor IRF3.
