Inflammation is a part of the host defense system, which provides protection against invading pathogens. However, it has become increasingly clear that inflammation can be evoked by endogenous mediators through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to enhance tumor progression and metastasis. Here, we discuss the roles of TLR-mediated inflammation in tumor progression and the mechanisms through which it accomplishes this pathogenic function.
炎症是宿主防御系统的一部分,它提供了对抗入侵病原体的保护。然而,越来越明显的是,炎症可以通过 Toll 样受体 (TLR) 被内源性介质所激发,从而促进肿瘤的进展和转移。在这里,我们讨论了 TLR 介导的炎症在肿瘤进展中的作用以及它完成这种致病功能的机制。
