Toll-like receptors 2 expression in mediastinal lymph node of patients with sarcoidosis

Abstract: Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a vital role as a first defense mechanism linking the innate with the adaptive immune system. Prior studies showed that TLR2 participated in immune responses of sarcoidosis. However, the role of TLR2 in the progression of mediastinal lymph nodes associated with sarcoidosis is still unknown. The current study aims to investigate the expression of Toll-like receptors 2 (TLR2) in mediastinal lymph nodes of patients with sarcoidosis.Methods: Mediastinal lymph nodes biops… Show more

“…Patients with sarcoidosis also have higher levels of CD14 + CD16 + monocytes in their blood and BAL compared with healthy controls ( 112 ). In contrast to monocytes from patients with TB, these monocytes have an inflammatory profile, with higher basal levels of TNF-α and IL-6, and upregulated TLR2 expression ( 113 ). Their levels are also associated with a progressive disease course in sarcoidosis ( 112 ).…”
