TLR4 Gene Expression and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in Alzheimer’s Disease and in Response to Hippocampal Deafferentation in Rodents
18 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
One important aspect in Alzheimer's disease pathology is the presence of chronic inflammation. Considering its role as a key receptor in the microglial innate immune system, TLR4 was shown to regulate the binding and phagocytosis of amyloid plaques by microglia in several mouse models of amyloidosis, as well as the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. To our knowledge, TLR4 and its association with cytokines...
