Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Toll like receptors (TLRs) function as pattern-reorganization receptors in mammals and play an essential role in innate immunity. After recognizing certain ligands, TLRs activate a cascade of signal pathways to establish a guard environment. Here for the first time, we report that in vitro treatment of recombinant calcineurin subunit B (CNB) up-regulated several TLR related genes. CNB interacted with ectodomain of TLR4 in vitro. Upon further investigation, phosphorylation of IRF3 and degradation of IκB-α were observed by CNB stimulation. Besides pro-inflammatory cytokines, transcription and production of IFN-β were also enhanced after CNB stimulation. Thus, CNB can be further explored as a cancer and virus immune therapy drug.
