17Beta-estradiol suppresses TLR3-induced cytokine and chemokine production in endometrial epithelial cells

Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-3-74

BACKGROUND: The human endometrium is an important site for contact between the host and pathogens ascending the reproductive tract, and thus plays an important role in female reproductive tract immunity. Previous work in our laboratory has …

Human endometrial epithelial cells cyclically express Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) and exhibit TLR3-dependent responses to dsRNA

Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2004.12.003

Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) responds to dsRNA, a product of most viral life cycles, and initiates production of proinflammatory and antiviral cytokines. The role of TLR3 in human mucosal immunity of the endometrium has not been examined. Th…
