Toll-like receptors and breast cancer

Abstract: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are key receptors in innate immunity and inflammation and are expressed not only in innate immune cells but also in different cancer cells. Increasing evidences demonstrate that TLRs play an important role in the initiation and progression of cancer and metabolism. Currently we have limited therapeutic options to treat patients with advanced non-resectable, recurrent and metastatic breast cancer. An innate immunity-mediated anticancer immunotherapy, alone or in combination with other… Show more

“…IFN-Is are induced by TLRs, which are pattern recognition receptors playing a pivotal role in innate immunity and cancer [48,49]. IFN-Is, like TLRs, are emerging as double-edged swords in cancer [50].…”

“…Згідно з багатьма даними літератури, очевидною постає роль тол-подібних рецепторів у процесі розвитку РГЗ та еволюції його мікрооточення. Дані щодо високої експресії TLR не тільки на імунокомпетентних клітинах пухлинного мікрооточення, але й на самих клітинах РГЗ отримано багатьма дослідниками [6][7][8].…”

“…TLR-9 також експресується клітинами РГЗ, а його вплив на інвазивний потенціал злоякісних клітин регулюється стероїдними статевими гормонами та залежить від експресії рецепторів цих гормонів на клітинах РГЗ [7]. Результати значної кількості наукових робіт вказують на зв'язок різних варіантів генетичних поліморфізмів тол-подібних рецепторів з ризиком розвитку РГЗ, його розповсюдженістю, а також відповіддю пухлини на хіміотерапію [8][9][10][11].…”

“…These proteins are a selection of antibodies whose associated antigens are produced by the organism’s own cells; the antigens themselves are expressed at low concentrations in healthy cells and overexpressed or aberrantly expressed in cancerous cells. This erroneous expression of antigens is detected by the immune system through methods such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) for the innate response, with the potential to both exacerbate and reverse tumor growth, and the class 2 major histocompatibility complex (MHC) by phosphorylation and or glycosylation of the “normally” expressed antigen, preventing recognition [ 17 , 18 ]. MUC1, for example, an integral membrane protein of the breast, was detected to be overexpressed in 90% of adenocarcinomas and was further linked to tumor aggression [ 17 , 19 ].…”

“…Unfortunately, the immune surveillance of breast cancers has been found to be compromised as the IRF7 pathway inside of breast cancer cells is suppressed. This is mitigated by the multicomponent nature of said surveillance system and the fact that the same pathway also governs the metastasis of the cancer alongside the TLRs, allowing for more accurate prognostics [ 18 , 20 ].…”
