MicroRNA-146: Tiny Player in Neonatal Innate Immunity?
9 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Concise regulation of the Toll signaling pathway is mandatory in neonatal innate immunity. The microRNA-146 family (miR-146a/b) was recently reported to be a regulator of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) through a negative feedback loop mechanism. Acting as a potent regulator, miRNA helps to protect the organism from developing overwhelming proinflammatory immune responses leading to septic shock or...
