Expression of Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 and its association with matrix metalloproteinases in symptomatic and asymptomatic apical periodontitis
(Springer Verlag, 2019)
To determine Toll-like receptors (TLR)2 and TLR4 expression levels and associate them with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in asymptomatic apical periodontitis (AAP), symptomatic apical periodontitis (SAP), and healthy ...
Adiposity and bone mineral density of Chilean elderly women in relation to toll-like receptor 4 gene polymorphisms
(2006)
Background: It has been proposed that the toll-like receptor-4 gene (TLR4) may participate in the development of obesity and osteoporosis, in addition to its well-known role in the immune response. On the other hand, the ...
Viral recognition by the innate immune system : the role of pattern recognition receptors.
(2011-11-11)
Pattern recognition receptors are the main sensors of the innate immune response. Their function is to recognize pathogenassociated
molecular patterns, which are molecules essential for the survival of microbial pathogens, ...
Las células dendríticas en la infección por el VIH-1.
(2012-12-12)
Las células dendríticas son un componente de la inmunidad innata que cumple con la función crucial de activar los linfocitos
T vírgenes. Son una de las células blanco de la infección por el VIH-1, aunque la replicación ...
Ex vivo infection of human placental chorionic villi explants with Trypanosoma cruzi and Toxoplasma gondii induces different Toll-like receptor expression and cytokine/chemokine profiles
(Wiley, 2017-07)
ProblemTrypanosoma cruzi and Toxoplasma gondii present, respectively, low and high congenital transmission rates. The placenta as an immune regulatory organ expresses TLRs, leading to the secretion of cytokines. Both ...
Trophoblast turnover in human placental chorionic villi explants induced by trypanosoma cruzi is mediated by toll like receptor-2 activation
(2016)
Congenital Chagas’ disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (T.
cruzi), is one of the major public health concerns in Latin America where
more than one million women in fertile age are infected. During ...
Treponema denticola chymotrypsin-like proteinase is present in early-stage mobile tongue squamous cell carcinoma and related to the clinicopathological features
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
Background: Certain periodontopathogenic bacteria have been linked to cancers.
Treponema denticola (Td) is associated with severe periodontitis. Chymotrypsin-like
proteinase (CTLP), a major virulence factor of Td, can ...
Short Report: Mannose-Binding Lectin and Toll-Like Receptor Polymorphisms and Chagas Disease in Chile
(2012)
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) polymorphisms may influence susceptibility
and manifestation of Trypanosoma cruzi infection. In northern Chile, we examined 61 asymptomatic patients with
chronic ...
Peptides conjugated to gold nanoparticles induce macrophage activation
(2009)
Macrophages that react against pathogenic organisms can also be activated with artificial nanometric units consisting of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) with a peptide coating. Using bone marrow-derived macrophages, here we ...
