Toll-like receptors and cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Toll-like receptor (TLR) is an important pattem recognition receptor (PRR) which partici pates in innate immunity and regulates adaptive immunity.TLR can be expressed in immune cells and malig nant tumors recognize conservative molecular structure,mediate response of inflammation,tissue injury and repair,which plays an important role in the process of tumor.Research results about some molecules and signal pathways of TLR demonstrate that it can act anti or pro-tumor dual functions,which has an extensive prospects in prevention and treatment of tumor.
