Signaling systems of TLR receptors in microglia
Prokop, Jonáš ; Novotný, Jiří (advisor) ; Filipp, Dominik (referee)
Emerging importance of TLR signalling in microglia has been suggested by various studies of neuroinflammation. Both MyD88 dependent and TRIF dependent pathways used by TLR induce secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in microglia by the activation of transcriptional factors such as NF-κB. This in turn polarizes the whole microglial population to a proinflammatory phenotype. Under physiological conditions microglia express various anti-inflammatory and growth factors and serve in the maintenance of the CNS. Once activated, microglia are connected to neuroinflammation and in the case of overactivation to neurodegeneration. Research of TLR signalling in microglial populations is important for our understanding of complex pathologies of the central nervous system. Moreover, exact knowledge of associated mechanisms might prove very useful in finding new therapeutic approaches. Key words: Microglia, signalling systems of toll-like receptors, Myd88, TRIF, neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration
