The stimulation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces the release of critical proinflammatory cytokines that are necessary to activate potent immune responses. LPS/TLR4 signaling has been intensively studied in the past few years. Here we review molecules involved in TLR4-mediated signaling, including players that are involved in the negative regulation of this important pathway.
脂多糖(LPS)对Toll样受体4(TLR4)的刺激可诱导关键促炎细胞因子的释放,这些细胞因子是激活强大免疫反应所必需的。在过去几年中,LPS/TLR4信号传导已得到深入研究。在此,我们综述参与TLR4介导信号传导的分子,包括参与这一重要途径负调控的相关分子。
