Toll-like receptor 4
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
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]
