UNC93B1影响TLRs信号通路及其与疾发病机制关系的研究进展

UNC93B1存在于内质网上,具多次跨膜区域,它能与TLR(Toll-like receptors,TLRs)-3,-7,-9发生特异性结合并将它们从内质网上运输(trafficking)至溶酶体中。UNC93B1与TLRs相互作用并通过MyD88/TRIF途径进行着信号传递。TLRs通过识别相应的高度保守的病原相关分子模式(PAMPs),在介导防御外来微生物入侵的先天性免疫反应并桥连或触发获得性免疫反应中起重要作用。在3d(N-乙基-N-亚硝基脲诱导的染色体基因的隐性突变)小鼠中,UNC93B1上H412R位点的突变阻断了其和TLRs的结合,进而阻碍了TLRs信号的传递,这使得该小鼠易被各种病原体感染。另外,UNC93B1的突变阻止了小鼠体内抗原的交叉呈递途径,也降低了MHC-II类分子呈递途径。UNC93B1缺陷使得人体易受单纯疱疹病毒I型(HSV-1)病毒感染而引起单纯疱疹病毒1型脑炎(HSE)。此外,通过调节UNC93B1和TLR7/9的接触可控制或避免系统性红斑狼疮、关节炎等自身性免疫疾病的发生。

Progress in effects of UNC93B1 on TLR signaling pathways and its relationship with pathogenesis

UNC93B1 is a protein found in endoplasmic reticulum with multi-transmembrane domains,and is specifically bond to(physically interacts with) Toll-like receptor-3,-7,-9 and trafficks them from the endoplasmic reticulum(ER) to endolysosomes,where the receptors transmit signals via MyD88/TRIF-dependent pathways.TLRs play an important role in mediating the innate immune response against microbial invasion and bridging and subsequently triggering adaptive immune response by recognizing the corresponding highly co...
