Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in innate immune responses against pathogenic microorganisms or tissue damage. Nucleic acid (NA)-sensing TLRs localize in intracellular vesicular compartments and recognize foreign-derived and host-derived nucleic acid ligands. Inappropriate activation of NA-sensing TLRs can cause pathogenic inflammation and autoimmunity. Multiple regulatory mechanisms exist to limit recognition of self-NAs. This review summarizes recent progress that has been made in understanding how NA-sensing TLRs are regulated via trafficking, proteolytic cleavage, as well as ligand processing and recognition.
Toll样受体(TLRs)在针对病原微生物或组织损伤的固有免疫反应中发挥重要作用。核酸(NA)感应性TLRs定位于细胞内囊泡区室,并识别外源和宿主来源的核酸配体。NA感应性TLRs的不适当激活可导致致病性炎症和自身免疫。存在多种调节机制来限制对自身核酸的识别。本综述总结了在理解NA感应性TLRs如何通过运输、蛋白水解切割以及配体加工和识别进行调节方面所取得的最新进展。
