TLR9 stimulation of B-cells induces transcription of p53 and prevents spontaneous and irradiation-induced cell death independent of DNA damage responses. Implications for Common variable immunodeficiency.
Our findings in two independent samples indicated that SNPs in TLR8 and TLR9 were associated with the development of TB, and highlight that SNPs may have different effects on disease pathogenesis and progression.
A retrospective analysis of the first cohort (n=293) showed that the homozygous CC gene variant of TLR9 (1486) compared with TC/TT gene variants was significantly associated with a markedly improved 5-year TRM (11.7 versus 36.4%, P<0.003), 5-year OS (86.1 vs 48.3%, P<0.001) and a lower relapse rate (13.2 vs 33.3%, P<0.007), whereas the occurrence of acute GVHD was not different.
We found that two tagSNPs in the TLR9 gene in the donor side, +1174 A/G (rs352139) and +1635 C/T (rs352140), influenced the risk of acute GVHD (aGVHD) and CMV reactivation.
Conversely, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid-induced inflamed pancreatic tissue in murine AIP exhibited increased expression of type I IFNs and IL-33 (and downstream IL-33 cytokines such as IL-13 and TGF-β1). pDCs stimulated by type I IFN were the source of the IL-33 because purified populations of these cells isolated from the inflamed pancreas produced a large amount of IL-33 upon activation by TLR9 ligands, and such production was abrogated by the neutralization of type I IFN.

<b>Methods</b>: The Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia and Lymphoma Phase I consortium performed a pilot study on 3 patients with MRD positive acute leukemia after an initial remission on conventional chemotherapy (TACL T2009-008) with the TLR 9 agonist (GNKG168).
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of TLR1, TLR3, TLR4, TLR7 and TLR9 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients with ALL and prior to any treatment.
To further delineate the impacts of FcγRIIIA and TLR9 in SMA pathogenesis, the associations between FcγRIIIA -176F/V and TLR9-1237T/C variants, SMA (hemoglobin [Hb] < 6.0 g/dl), and circulating IFN-γ levels were investigated in children (n = 301) from western Kenya with acute malaria.
Our data provide unprecedented evidence that TLR9 and MyD88 are essential to initiate IL12 and IFNgamma responses and favor host hyperresponsiveness to TLR agonists resulting in overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines and the sepsis-like symptoms of acute malaria.
Furthermore, CpG‑ODN1826 administration induced an increase in TLR9 expression levels compared with the AP alone group at 0, 3, 6 and 12 h. TNF‑α in the CpG + AP 12 h group was upregulated compared with that in the CpG + AP 3 and 6 h groups; however, no change was observed between 3 and 6 h. Thus, these data indicate that CpG‑ODN1826 aggravates sodium taurocholate‑induced pancreas damage in rats.
Genetic deletion and pharmacologic antagonism demonstrate that specific DAMP receptors, including Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4, TLR9, and P2X7, are also required for inflammation in experimental acute pancreatitis.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical significance of tissue expression and serum concentration of TLR-2, TLR-4, TLR-7 and TLR-9 in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
We generated a mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) mutated for K-ras (K-ras(LA1) ), with and without TLR9 inactivation (K-ras(LA1) TLR9(-/-) and K-ras(LA1) TLR9(+/+) , respectively).
Keratitis similar to wild type mice was observed in TLR2, TLR9 and IL-1R knockout mice, but was reduced in TLR2/9 double knockout mice, consistent with synergy of TLR2 and TLR9 in the response to adenovirus infection.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of TLR1, TLR3, TLR4, TLR7 and TLR9 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients with ALL and prior to any treatment.
These results suggest that the Namalwa Burkitt lymphoma line may serve as a useful cell-based assay for the detection of novel TLR9 agonists as well as a model to further explore the regulation of TLR9 expression and signaling.
