pubmed:abstractText |
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a recently described arm of innate immunity. As well as responding to conserved molecular patterns found on pathogens, TLRs can also respond to endogenous ligands. Those described for TLR2 and TLR4 include molecules released following tissue injury including heat shock proteins and matrix proteins. We hypothesised that following injury, TLRs on renal tubular cells are activated by these endogenous ligands, resulting in cytokine production and cellular infiltration which propagate the fibrotic process.
