RNA virus-induced excessive inflammation and impaired antiviral interferon (IFN-I) responses are associated with severe disease. This innate immune response, also referred to as "dysregulated immunity" is caused by viral single-stranded RNA (ssRNA)- and double-stranded-RNA (dsRNA)-mediated exuberant inflammation and viral protein-induced IFN antagonism. However, key host factors and the underlying mechanism driving viral RNA-mediated dysregulated immunity are poorly defined.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are central to initiate immune responses against invading pathogens. To ensure host defense while avoiding aberrant activation leading to pathogenic inflammation and autoimmune diseases, TLRs are tightly controlled by multilevel regulatory mechanisms. Through a loss-of-function genetic screen in a reporter cell line engineered to undergo cell death upon TLR7-induced IRF5 activation, we identified here CCDC134 as an essential factor for TLR responses.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) on macrophages sense microbial components and trigger the production of numerous cytokines and chemokines that mediate the inflammatory response to infection. Although many of the components required for the activation of the TLR pathway have been identified, the mechanisms that appropriately regulate the magnitude and duration of the response and ultimately restore homeostasis are less well understood. Furthermore, a growing body of work indicates that TLR signaling reciprocally interacts with other fundamental cellular processes, including lipid metabolism but only a few specific molecular links between immune signaling and the macrophage lipidome have been studied in detail.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors expressed in immune cells, including neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Microbe-associated molecular patterns, including bacterial components, membranes, nucleic acids, and flagella are recognized by TLRs in inflammatory immune responses. Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease known to cause local infections associated with gingival inflammation, subsequently leading to alveolar bone resorption.
