Abstract
Toll‑like receptors (TLRs) play an essential role in the activation and regulation of the innate and adaptive immune responses through the recognition of specific components of pathogens. TLR1/2 on the cell surface plays an important role in defending against Gram‑positive bacteria. The aim of the present study was to examine the expressional variation of immunomodulatory molecules in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) treated with the TLR1/2 agonist, Pam3Cys. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction result showed dramatically increased expression of immune‑related factors treated with Pam3Cys. Antibody‑chip assays confirmed that activation of TLR1/2 could induce secretion of four important immune factors [interleukin (IL)‑6, IL‑8, macrophage inflammatory protein‑1α and interferon‑β). Western‑blot analysis indicated the upregulation of three significant signal kinase proteins (phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, extracellular signal‑related kinase and c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase 2). The study demonstrated that there were numerous molecules involved in the immune response of PBLs stimulated by the TLR1/2 ligand. Our future studies will focus on the mechanisms of these molecules in the TLR1/2 agonist‑mediated immune response.
