    Abstract Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are an evolutionarily conserved family in the innate immune system and are the first line of host defense against microbial pathogens by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). TLRs, categorized into cell surface and endosomal subfamilies, recognize diverse PAMPs, and structural elucidation of TLRs and PAMP complexes has revealed their intricate mechanisms. TLRs activate common and specific signaling pathways to shape immune responses. Recent studies have shown the importance of post-transcriptional regulation in TLR-mediated inflammatory responses. Despite their protective functions, aberrant responses of TLRs contribute to inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Understanding the delicate balance between TLR activation and regulatory mechanisms is crucial for deciphering their dual role in immune defense and disease pathogenesis. This review provides an overview of recent insights into the history of TLR discovery, elucidation of TLR ligands and signaling pathways, and their relevance to various diseases.

    Abstract Inflammation plays indispensable roles in building the immune responses such as acquired immunity against harmful pathogens. Furthermore, it is essential for maintaining biological homeostasis in ever-changing conditions. Pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) reside in cell membranes, endosomes or cytoplasm, and function as triggers for inflammatory responses. Binding of pathogen- or self-derived components, such as DNA, to PRRs activates downstream signaling cascades, resulting in the production of a series of pro-inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons (IFNs). While these series of responses are essential for host defense, the unexpected release of DNA from the nucleus or mitochondria of host cells can lead to autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. In this review, we focus on DNA-sensing mechanisms

    Abstract Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a crucial role in various cellular functions, including the innate and adaptive immune responses. Dysregulated expression of IL-6 is associated with hyperinflammation and chronic inflammatory diseases. In this study, we aimed to identify the enhancer regions responsible for robust Il6 mRNA expression in murine macrophages. Through comprehensive genome-wide ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq analyses, we identified two distinct clusters, termed E1 and E2 regions, located at -144 kb to -163 kb relative to the Il6 transcription start site in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine macrophages. These clusters exhibited an accumulation of histone modification marks (H3K27ac and H3K4me1), as well as open chromatin, and were found to contain binding sites for the transcription factors PU.1, NF-κB, C/EBPβ, and JunB. Upregulation of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts from the E1 and E2 regions was observed upon LPS stimulation, and repression of these ncRNAs resulted in abrogation of Il6 expression. Additionally, deletion of either E1 or E2 regions significantly impaired Il6 expression, while CRISPR/dCas9 activation-mediated recruitment of the co-activator p300 to the E1 and E2 regions facilitated Il6 expression. Collectively, our findings suggest that the E1 and E2 regions serve as putative enhancers for Il6 expression.

    Abstract The lungs are constantly exposed to environmental and infectious agents such as dust, viruses, fungi, and bacteria that invade the lungs upon breathing. The lungs are equipped with an immune defense mechanism that involves a wide variety of immunological cells to eliminate these agents. Various types of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (MACs) function as professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that engulf pathogens through endocytosis or phagocytosis and degrade proteins derived from them into peptide fragments. During this process, DCs and MACs present the peptides on their major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) or MHC-II protein complex to naïve CD8

    Abstract Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) play critical roles in recognizing pathogen-derived nucleic acids and inducing innate immune responses, such as inflammation and type I interferon production. PRRs that recognize nucleic acids include members of endosomal Toll-like receptors, cytosolic retinoic acid inducible gene I-like receptors, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase, absent in melanoma 2-like receptors, and nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like receptors. Aberrant recognition of self-derived nucleic acids by these PRRs or unexpected activation of downstream signaling pathways results in the constitutive production of type I interferons and inflammatory cytokines, which lead to the development of autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases. In this review, we focus on the nucleic acid-sensing machinery and its pathophysiological roles in various inflammatory diseases.

    Abstract Lipopolysaccharide on gram negative bacteria can be detected by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) to elicit a series of innate immune responses, leading to inflammation to eliminate the targeted pathogen. However, dysregulation in the responses results in excessive inflammation. The 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) is a bioactive compound originated from Alpinia species known to have anti-inflammatory and apoptosis-inducing properties. Here, we found that ACA inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced expression and production of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6 and TNFα by macrophages. ACA suppresses the activation of NF-κB and MAP kinases in TLR4 signaling. Moreover, ACA also inhibits TLR4-mediated induction of type I interferon by suppressing IRF3 activation. In lipopolysaccharide-challenged mice, ACA treatment successfully increased the survival of mice and alleviated inflammation in the lung. Thus, ACA is a potential anti-inflammatory agent to regulate excessive inflammation.

    Abstract Recognition of pathogen-derived nucleic acids by pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) is essential for eliciting antiviral immune responses by inducing the production of type I interferons (IFNs) and proinflammatory cytokines. Such responses are a prerequisite for mounting innate and pathogen-specific adaptive immune responses. However, host cells also use nucleic acids as carriers of genetic information, and the aberrant recognition of self-nucleic acids by PRRs is associated with the onset of autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases. In this review, we describe the mechanisms of nucleic acid sensing by PRRs, including Toll-like receptors, RIG-I-like receptors, and DNA sensor molecules, and their signaling pathways as well as the disorders caused by uncontrolled or unnecessary activation of these PRRs.

    Abstract During viral and bacterial infections, the innate immune system recognizes various types of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as nucleic acids, via a series of membrane-bound or cytosolic pattern-recognition receptors. These include Toll-like receptors (TLRs), RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), AIM2-like receptors (ALRs), and cytosolic DNA sensors. The binding of PAMPs to these receptors triggers the production of type I interferon (IFN) and inflammatory cytokines. Type I IFN induces the expression of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs), which protect surrounding cells from infection. Some ISGs are nucleic acids-binding proteins that bind viral nucleic acids and suppress their replication. As nucleic acids are essential components that store and transmit genetic information in every species, infectious pathogens have developed systems to escape from the host nucleic acid recognition system. Host cells also have their own nucleic acids that are frequently released to the extracellular milieu or the cytoplasm during cell death or stress responses, which, if able to bind pattern-recognition receptors, would induce autoimmunity and inflammation. Therefore, host cells have acquired mechanisms to protect themselves from contact with their own nucleic acids. In this review, we describe recent research progress into the nucleic acid recognition mechanism and the molecular bases of discrimination between self and non-self-nucleic acids.
