Studies have shown that the basal chordate amphioxus possesses an extraordinarily complex TLR system, including 39 TLRs and at least 40 Toll/IL-1R homologous region (TIR) adaptors. Besides homologs to MyD88 and TIR domain-containing adaptor molecule (TICAM), most amphioxus TIR adaptors exhibit domain architectures that are not observed in other species. To reveal how these novel TIR adaptors function in amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense (bbt), four representatives, bbtTIRA, bbtTIRB, bbtTIRC, and bbtTIRD, were selected for functional analyses. We found bbtTIRA to show a unique inhibitory role in amphioxus TICAM-mediated pathway by interacting with bbtTICAM and bbt receptor interacting protein 1b, whereas bbtTIRC specifically inhibits the amphioxus MyD88-dependent pathway by interacting with bbtMyD88 and depressing the polyubiquitination of bbt TNFR-associated factor 6. Although both bbtTIRB and bbtTIRD are located on endosomes, the TIR domain of bbtTIRB can interact with bbtMyD88 in the cytosol, whereas the TIR domain of bbtTIRD is enclosed in endosome, suggesting that bbtTIRD may be a redundant gene in amphioxus. This study indicated that most expanded TIR adaptors play nonredundant regulatory roles in amphioxus TLR signaling, adding a new layer to understanding the diversity and complexity of innate immunity at basal chordate.

Innate immunity relies on Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns. The TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domain-containing TLR adaptors TRIF (TIR domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon-β) and TRAM (TRIF-related adaptor molecule) are essential for MyD88-independent TLR signaling. However, the structural basis of TRIF and TRAM TIR domain-based signaling remains unclear.

Dorzolamide intermediates with potential anti-inflammatory activity.

Eur J Pharmacol

Department of Biosciences and Biomedical Engineering (BSBE), Indian Institute of Technology Indore (IITI), Indore, India. Electronic address:

Dorzolamide (DZD), a Carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor clinically used to lower intraocular pressure, exhibits anti-inflammatory effects owing to the drug's ability to inhibit the TIR domain-containing adaptor protein (TIRAP)-mediated signalling in macrophages. Here, we investigated whether DZD intermediates also demonstrate any anti-inflammatory property like DZD but with a reduced inhibition of CA. We found that several intermediates of DZD show increased binding to TIRAP at the common interface of kinases, such as Protein kinase C-delta (PKCδ) and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK).

Integrin β2 regulates titanium particle‑induced inflammation in macrophages: aseptic loosening model.

Aseptic loosening is a major complication of joint replacement surgery, characterized by periprosthetic osteolysis and chronic inflammation at the bone‑implant interface. Cells release chemokines, cytokines and other pro‑inflammatory substances that perpetuate inflammation reactions, while other particle‑stimulated macrophages promote osteoclastic bone resorption and impair bone formation. The present study investigated integrin and inflammatory cytokine expression patterns in RAW 264.

Background: Repeated intravesical activation of protease-activated receptor-4 (PAR4) serves as a model of persistent bladder hyperalgesia (BHA) in mice, which lasts several days after the final stimulus. Spinal macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) are critical mediators in the persistence of BHA.

Objective: We aimed to identify effective systemic treatments for persistent BHA using antagonists or transgenic deletions.

Electronic address:

Background & Aims: Gut inflammation caused by diets could damage the intestinal barrier, which increases the liver exposition to pathogenic substances. Toll-IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor molecule-1 (Ticam1) is a key molecule in the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) pathway, which is important for the immune defense against pathogens such as bacteria or viruses. In this study, mouse intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) Ticam1 was knocked out to suppress the intestinal inflammation response in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) to investigate its influence on the development of MASH.
