Description:
Stimulation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) triggers activation of a common MyD88-dependent signaling pathway as well as a MyD88-independent pathway that is unique to TLR3 and TLR4 signaling pathways leading to interferon (IFN)-beta production. Here we disrupted the gene encoding a Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor, TRIF. TRIF-deficient mice were defective in both TLR3- and TLR4-mediated expression of IFN-beta and activation of IRF-3. Furthermore, inflammatory cytokine production in response to the TLR4 ligand, but not to other TLR ligands, was severely impaired in TRIF-deficient macrophages. Mice deficient in both MyD88 and TRIF showed complete loss of nuclear factor kappa B activation in response to TLR4 stimulation. These findings demonstrate that TRIF is essential for TLR3- and TLR4-mediated signaling pathways facilitating mammalian antiviral host defense.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yamamoto, Masahiro -- Sato, Shintaro -- Hemmi, Hiroaki -- Hoshino, Katsuaki -- Kaisho, Tsuneyasu -- Sanjo, Hideki -- Takeuchi, Osamu -- Sugiyama, Masanaka -- Okabe, Masaru -- Takeda, Kiyoshi -- Akira, Shizuo -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 1;301(5633):640-3.
