Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE These were achieved partly through restoration of VDR and suppression of TLR4.ConclusionNEC infants have lower levels of vitamin D.

0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE A growing body of evidence demonstrate the key role of the Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) in NEC. 27191060 2017
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In this study, we show a previously unknown mechanism for the development of intestinal injury equivalent to that seen in human NEC and that is not dependent on TLR4 pathways. 28450472 2017
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE These results suggest that eNOS-SSG within the MIMECs inhibited NO production and enhanced TLR4 activity, which were implicated in the pathogenesis of NEC. 26845626 2017
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The aim of this study was to characterize the role of TLR4-mediated inflammation and apoptosis in the development of NEC and to determine the major apoptotic pathways and regulators in the process. 27849634 2017
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE This study demonstrated B. adolescentis prevents NEC in preterm neonatal rats and that the mechanism for this action might be associated with the alteration of TLR4, TOLLIP, and SIGIRR expression. 28056921 2017
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE In NEC model group, the peak expression of TLR4 mRNA occurred later than that of NF-κB mRNA and IL-6, and the expressions of TLR4 mRNA, NF-κB mRNA and IL-6 were decreased at 72 h after IGF-1 intervention. 29131241 2017
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE These findings identify an important role for proinflammatory lymphocytes in NEC development via intestinal epithelial TLR4 that could be reversed through dietary modification. 26690704 2016
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We investigated whether maturational effects of TLR4 expression in immature colon might contribute to the development of NEC. 25521917 2015
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE These findings identify a novel link between TLR4-induced ER stress and ISC apoptosis in NEC pathogenesis and suggest that increased ER stress within the premature bowel predisposes to NEC development. 24519940 2014
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our lead compound, C34, is a 2-acetamidopyranoside (MW 389) with the formula C17H27NO9, which inhibited TLR4 in enterocytes and macrophages in vitro, and reduced systemic inflammation in mouse models of endotoxemia and necrotizing enterocolitis. 23776545 2013
Necrotizing enterocolitis in fetus OR newborn
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE These findings depart from current dogma in the field by identifying a unique effect of TLR4-induced autophagy within the intestinal epithelium in the pathogenesis of NEC and identify that the negative consequences of autophagy on enterocyte migration play an essential role in its development. 23455503 2013
