TLR9
Toll樣受體9(英語:Toll-like receptor 9)是由人類基因 TLR9 編碼的蛋白質[1],也被稱為CD289(分化簇289,cluster of differentiation 289),是Toll樣受體(TLR)家族的成員。
功能
[編輯]TLR家族的受體在病原識別與先天免疫的激活中起著基礎作用。TLRs are named for the high degree of conservation in structure and function seen between mammalian TLRs and the Drosophila transmembrane protein Toll. TLRs是呈現在細胞表面和胞內間室的跨膜蛋白,用以識別病原體呈現的病原相關分子模式(Pathogen-associated molecular patterns,PAMPs),然後啟動製造先天和獲得性免疫所需的細胞因子的信號。 The various TLRs exhibit different patterns of expression. 這一基因通常表達於富含免疫細胞的組織,比如脾、淋巴結、骨髓等。研究指出,在小鼠和人中的TLR9受體可響應細菌DNA中的未甲基化的CpG寡脫氧核苷酸序列來激活先天免疫應答[2]。
TLR9可以識別DNA分子中的未甲基化的CpG序列,CpG位點在脊椎動物非常稀少(~1%),但在細菌或病毒基因組中很豐富。TLR9在免疫系統的多種細胞中有表達,如B淋巴細胞、單核細胞、自然殺傷細胞(NK)和漿細胞樣樹突狀細胞。TLR9表達於細胞內,是核內體的組分之一,其功能為當細菌或病毒感染時結合其DNA上的富CpG基序來改變免疫系統的狀態。TLR9的信號會導致細胞啟動炎症反應,並分泌相關細胞因子,如I型干擾素和IL-12等。
臨床意義
[編輯]There are new immunomodulatory treatments undergoing testing which involve the administration of artificial DNA oligonucleotides containing the CpG motif. CpG DNA has applications in treating allergies such as asthma,[3] immunostimulation against cancer,[4] immunostimulation against pathogens, and as adjuvants in vaccines.[5]
