Article Abstract
Coxsackievirus B (CVB) is the major cause of human myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is an intracellular sensor to detect pathogen's dsRNA. TLR3, along with TRAF6, triggers an inflammatory response through NF-κB signaling pathway. In the cells infected with CVB type 3 (CVB3), the abundance of miR-146a was significantly increased. The role of miR-146a in CVB infection is unclear. In this study, TLR3 and TRAF6 were identified as the targets of miR-146a. The elevated miR-146a inhibited NF-κB translocation and subsequently down-regulated proinflammatory cytokine expression in the CVB3-infected cells. Therefore, the NF-κB pathway can be doubly blocked by miR-146a through targeting of TLR3 and TRAF6. MiR-146a may be a negative regulator on inflammatory response and an intrinsic protective factor in CVB infection.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Jingqianshu Granules (JQS) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound formula originally used to alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Its relevance has become increasingly prominent in the context of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe, mood-focused subtype of PMS marked by significant emotional and behavioral disturbances that disrupt daily functioning. JQS holds promising potential for managing PMDD through its multi-component, multi-target therapeutic actions.

Background: Studies have demonstrated that Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) plays a crucial role in neuropathic pain. However, there have been no relevant reports regarding the role of TLR3 in migraine chronification. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms of TLR3 in the central sensitization of chronic migraine (CM).

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) poses a significant challenge as there are currently no targeted antiviral drugs or vaccines to combat this infection. Here, we demonstrate that interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs), including IFITM1, IFITM2, and IFITM3, which are interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), inhibit CHIKV infection in human skin fibroblasts. Overexpression of IFITMs in cells restricts viral infection, whereas knockdown of IFITMs enhances viral infection.

Correct immunological dialogue between the maternal uterus and conceptus is essential during implantation, and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) participate in maternal immune tolerance during pregnancy. This study aimed to analyze the effect of early pregnancy on Toll-like receptor pathways in the ovine endometrium. Ovine endometria were obtained on day 16 of the estrous cycle (N16) and days 13, 16, and 25 of pregnancy (P13, P16, and P25), and expression profiles of TLR members, including TLRs, tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), interleukin 1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), and myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88), were detected by quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry analysis.

Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling plays a key role in the intestinal innate and adaptive immune responses, and pregnancy has effects on intestinal length and villus height. Nevertheless, it is unclear if early pregnancy modulates the expression of TLR members in the duodenum of ewes. In this study, ovine duodenums were obtained at day 16 of the estrous cycle (N16), and days 13, 16, and 25 of gestation (P13, P16, and P25) from ewes, and mRNA and protein expression of TLR members were analyzed.
