Toll-like receptors (TLR) play a key role in innate immunity. To examine the ability of diverse TLRs to modulate hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication, HBV transgenic mice received a single intravenous injection of ligands specific for TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR5, TLR7, and TLR9. All of the ligands except for TLR2 inhibited HBV replication in the liver noncytopathically within 24 h in a alpha/beta interferon-dependent manner. The ability of these TLR ligands to induce antiviral cytokines at the site of HBV replication suggests that TLR activation could represent a powerful and novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of chronic HBV infection.
Toll样受体(TLR)在天然免疫中起关键作用。为了检测不同TLR调节乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)复制的能力,给HBV转基因小鼠单次静脉注射针对TLR2、TLR3、TLR4、TLR5、TLR7和TLR9的配体。除TLR2配体外,所有配体均在24小时内以α/β干扰素依赖的方式在肝脏中以非细胞病变的方式抑制HBV复制。这些TLR配体在HBV复制部位诱导抗病毒细胞因子的能力表明,TLR激活可能是治疗慢性HBV感染的一种强大而新颖的治疗策略。
