The association of Toll-like receptor 4 gene polymorphisms with the development of emphysema in Japanese subjects: a case control study
BACKGROUND: The principal role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is the induction of immune responses to lipopolysaccharides. Previously, mice deficient in the TLR4 gene exhibited up-regulation of the NADPH oxidase system in the lungs. This resulted in increased oxidant generation and elastolytic activ...
