Intracellular TLR7 is activated in human oligodendrocytes in response to Borrelia burgdorferi exposure
Publication date: 3 April 2018 Source:Neuroscience Letters, Volume 671 Author(s): Geetha Parthasarathy, Mario T. Philipp Lyme neuroborreliosis, caused by the gram-negative bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, may affect the central and/or peripheral nervous systems. In previous studies, we showed that human oligodendrocytes exposed to the bacteria undergo apoptosis in an inflammatory environment, and that inflammatory pathways trigger cell-death pathways. We further demonstrated that several receptor tyrosine kinases were involved in triggering downstream effects, leading to inflammation and apoptosis. Toll-like receptors TLR2...
