Toll‐like receptor (TLR)‐2 and TLR‐4 regulate inflammation, gliosis, and myelin sparing after spinal cord injury
Tóm tắt
Activation of macrophages via toll‐like receptors (TLRs) is important for inflammation and host defense against pathogens. Recent data suggest that non‐pathogenic molecules released by trauma also can trigger inflammation via TLR2 and TLR4. Here, we tested whether TLRs are regulated after sterile spinal cord injury (SCI) and examined their effects on functional and anatomical recovery. We show that mRNA for TLR1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 are increased after SCI as are molecules associated with TLR signaling (e.g. MyD88, NFκB). The significance of
