Background

The family of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) acts as primary sensors that detect a wide variety of microbial components and elicit innate immune responses. Human TLR9 (toll-like receptor 9), also known as CD289 (cluster of differentiation 289), is expressed in cells in immune cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages and NK cells. It can be found in endosomes, where it recognizes specific unmethylated CpG DNA motifs prevalent in microbial but not vertebrate genomic DNA, leading to innate and acquired immune responses. Stimulation of TLR9 triggers its movement to the Golgi and lysosomes and interaction with MyD88. This interaction activates a signaling cascade that leads to the activation of the transcription factor NF-κB, which controls the expression of an array of inflammatory cytokines. TLR9 has been identified as a major player in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL). TLR9 has also been linked to cancer, with breast and renal cell carcinoma having lower expression levels, while prostate cancer and glioma showing higher levels. TLR9 agonists, such as SDS-101 and tilsotolimod, are currently being tested in the clinic as combination cancer therapies. Further studies into the molecular pathways involved TLR9 and development of agonists can open new avenues for the treatment of TRL9-linked diseases.
