Article Abstract

The functions of the natural dsRNA sensors TLR3 (TRIF) and RIG-I (MAVS) are crucial during viral challenge and have not been accurately clarified in adaptive immune responses to rotavirus (RV) infection. In this study, we found that RV infection caused severe pathological damage to the small intestine of TLR3-/- and TRIF-/- mice. Our data found that dendritic cells from TLR3-/- and TRIF-/- mice had impaired Ag presentation to the RV and attenuated initiation of T cells upon viral infection. These attenuated functions resulted in impaired CD4+ T and CD8+ T function in mice lacking TLR3-TRIF signaling postinfection. Additionally, attenuated proliferative capacity of T cells from TLR3-/- and TRIF-/- mice was observed. Subsequently, we observed a significant reduction in the absolute number of memory T cells in the spleen and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) of TRIF-/- recipient mice following RV infection in a bone marrow chimeric model. Furthermore, there was reduced migration of type 2 classical dendritic cells from the intestine to MLNs after RV infection in TLR3-/- and TRIF-/- mice. Notably, RV infection resulted in attenuated killing of spleen and MLN tissues in TRIF-/- and MAVS-/- mice. Finally, we demonstrated that RV infection promoted apoptosis of CD8+ T cells in TRIF-/- and TLR3-/-MAVS-/- mice. Taken together, our findings highlight an important mechanism of TLR3 signaling through TRIF in mucosal T cell responses to RV and lay the foundation for the development of a novel vaccine.

TLR3 regulation and cytokine response during BoAHV-1 and BoAHV-5 infection of neuronal-like cells.

Microbes Infect

Varicellovirus bovinealpha (BoAHV) 1 and 5 are alphaherpesviruses that differ in their neuropathogenic potential. While BoAHV-5 causes necrotizing meningoencephalitis in calves, neurological cases associated with BoAHV-1 are less frequent. In this study we used differentiated the human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y) to evaluate the mRNA expression of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), its adaptor molecule TRIF and the production of interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines during infection with both alphaherpesviruses.

Dual Role of Host Toll-Like Receptor 3 in Parasitic Diseases.

Parasitic diseases, caused by a diverse array of parasites, remain a substantial threat to global health. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) represents a pivotal element in the innate immune system, distinguished by an ability to signal via the TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β (TRIF)-dependent pathway upon detecting pathogen-derived double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), exosomal RNA (exoRNA), and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). Predominantly localized on endosomal membranes, TLR3 is extensively expressed in neurons, immune cells, fibroblasts, and epithelial cells.

Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is a significant member of the TLR family which plays a vital role in pathogen-associated molecular patterns recognition and activation of innate immunity. In the past few years, TLR3 has been identified in a variety of fish, but its upstream adaptor is rarely reported. In this study, an adaptor protein, called WDFY1 (WD repeat and FYVE domain-containing protein 1), was cloned and identified in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) (CiWDFY1).

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.
