摘要
NK细胞识别受体(NKR)和Toll样受体(TLR)是天然免疫系统最重要的2个天然免疫识别受体家族,位于机体抵抗外来侵袭的第一道防线.二者各自具有独特的识别外来或内源性的危险信号、区分自我和非我的识别机制,同时又相互协同、相互调节,成为启动免疫应答的关键分子以及连接固有免疫和适应性免疫的桥梁.以NK细胞为载体将TLRs/NKG2连接起来,阐明这2类重要的天然免疫受体间的识别和调节关系,可以较好地反映机体内外环境变化或刺激时固有免疫对适应性免疫的调节作用,并为有效控制感染、炎症、肿瘤及自身免疫性疾病提供崭新的治疗策略.
NKR and TLR are most important receptor superfamilies in innate immunity and act as first line of host defense against infection. Those receptors exert peculiar recognition mechanisms to sense danger signals and distinguish infectious nonself from noninfectious self. More importantly, they coordinate and regulate each other and therefore play major roles in initiation of innate immunity and also help to direct adaptive immune responses. The importance of recognition and interaction of those receptors are highlighted. The precise mechanisms can be harnessed to aid the rational design of therapy against infection, inflammation, cancer or autoimmune diseases.
