Abstract:
Bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases in children.Airway remodeling that makes asthma difficult to control is an important pathological progress of asthma.Toll-like receptors (TLR), a kind of pattern recognition receptors, are expressed in a variety of human airway structure cells, such as airway epithelial cells, smooth muscle cells, mucus gland cells, etc.It is reported that TLRs play important roles in the regulation of airway remodeling in asthma.This article briefly summarizes the role of TLR in airway remodeling of asthma.
