TLR4 or TLR-4 or toll-like receptor 4 is one of ten toll-like receptors.[1]

Function[edit | edit source]

ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

TLR4 is upregulated in ME/CFS patients.[2][3]

Infection[edit | edit source]

Coxsackie B4 triggers TLR4 on human pancreatic cells,[4] TLR4 knock-out mice infected with Coxsackie B3 showed reduced myocarditis and viral replication.[5]

Potential treatments[edit | edit source]

Low dose naltrexone (LDN), lithium, and oxymatrine inhibit microglial activation via TLR4.[6][7]

Notable studies[edit | edit source]

  • 2009, Moderate Exercise Increases Expression for Sensory, Adrenergic, and Immune Genes in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients But Not in Normal Subjects[3] (Full Text)
