Tolerance induced via TLR2 and TLR4 in human dendritic cells: role of IRAK-1.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Expressed in embryonic development, matrix metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9) is absent in most of developed adult tissues, but recurs in inflammation during tissue injury, wound healing, tumor formation and metastasis. Expression of MMP-9 is tightly controlled by extracellular cues including pro-inflammatory cytokine...
