Abstract:
To investigate changes in Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) gene expression in postburn Staphylococcus aureus infection, and its potential signaling mechanism, 68 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups as follows: normal control group (n=6), scald control group (n=6), postburn sepsis group (n=36),AG126 treatment group (n=10) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) treatment group (n=10). Tissue samples from the liver, kidney and lung were collected from every group to determine TLR2 and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) mRNA expression. The results showed that TLR2 mRNA expressions in the liver, kidney and lung from postburn septic animals were up-regulated rapidly, peaking at 0.5-2 hours (P
