| Summary |
TLR8 expression and function is highly up-regulated in colonic epithelium from patients with active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), suggesting that TLR8 signalling is important in the pathogenesis of IBD.
Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8), 7 and 9 form a functional subgroup within the TLR family that recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns in endosomal/lysosomal compartments.
TLR8 and TLR7 bind single-stranded RNA, stimulating dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages to secrete interferon-alpha and pro-inflammatory, as well as regulatory, cytokines.
TLR8 signalling strongly promotes inflammatory lipid mediator biosynthesis, providing novel insights on innate immune response to viral infections.
TLR8 is activated in human monocytic cells following Helicobacter pylori phagocytosis and TLR8 single nucleotide polymorphism play a role in the modulation of TLR8-dependent microbicidal response of infected macrophages.
TLR7 and TLR8 are translocated from the endoplasmic reticulum to the endosome in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, as a consequence, plasmacytoid dendritic cells become dramatically sensitized to TLR7/8 agonists and this may play a role in systemic autoimmunity.
TLR8 binding of HIV ssRNA induces endosomal acidification and chromatin remodeling at the TNF-alpha promoter to promote TNF-alpha release in infected macrophages.
TLR8 binds to exosomal MIR21 and MIR29A secreted by tumour cells and initiates a prometastatic inflammatory response.
TLR8 plays a pathogenic role in disease whereby its expression is increased in patients with systemic arthritis and is correlated with the elevation of IL1B levels and disease status.
TLR8 binds degradation products of single-stranded RNA at two distinct sites. One site prefers uridine mononucleosides and the other site prefers short oligonucleotides.
TLR8-dependent detection of bacterial RNA is critical for triggering monocyte activation in response to infection with Streptococcus pyogenes.

| Summary |
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. TLRs are highly conserved from Drosophila to humans and share structural and functional similarities. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are expressed on infectious agents, and mediate the production of cytokines necessary for the development of effective immunity. The various TLRs exhibit different patterns of expression. This gene is predominantly expressed in lung and peripheral blood leukocytes, and lies in close proximity to another family member, TLR7, on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
