摘要: Apoptosis is implicated in the generation and resolution of inflammation response to bacterial pathogens. All pathogens produce lipoproteins (BLPs), which trigger innate immune response. BLPs were found induce apoptosis THP-1 monocytic cells through human Toll-like receptor–2 (hTLR2). also initiated an epithelial cell line transfected with hTLR2. In addition, stimulated nuclear factor–κB, a transcriptional activator multiple host defense genes, activated respiratory burst Thus, hTLR2 molecular link between microbial products, apoptosis, mechanisms.
