IRAK-4 plays an essential role in Toll-like receptor (TLR)/IL-1 receptor signaling. However, its signaling and regulation mechanisms have remained elusive. We have reported previously that stimulation of TLR2, TLR4 or TLR9, but not TLR3, leads to ...

MyD88 and IL-1R- associated kinase 1 (IRAK-1) play crucial roles as adaptor molecules in signal transduction of the TLR/IL-1R superfamily, and it is known that expression of these proteins leads to the activation of NF-kappa B in a TNFR-associated...

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may potentially worsen infectious diseases because EDCs disturb human immune function by interfering with endocrine balance. To evaluate the influence of EDCs on the innate immune function of macrophages, we i...

We analysed the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-recognition mechanism in cells expressing TLR4 and CD14 but lacking MD-2. When TLR4 and CD14 were transiently expressed in HEK293 cells, cell-surface expression of TLR4 was observed, although the expression...
