Immunopharmacology Comments
TLR9 is an endosomal receptor detecting viral and bacterial CpG DNA and genomic DNA from some protozoan species [4]. Activated TLR9 receptors expressed by B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells, stimulate human B-cell proliferation, enhance antigen-specific antibody production and induce IFN-α production, IL-10 secretion and natural killer cell activity.

Disease:  Systemic lupus erythematosus
Description: SLE is a complex autoimmune disease that is characterised by inflammation of various connective tissues, and symptoms include dermatitis, arthritis, inflammation of the kidneys (glomerulonephritis), vasculitis, inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart, and seizures. It is caused by the production of autoantibodies against widely expressed nuclear, cytoplasmic, and cell surface molecules. Extracellular RNA in the circulation in combination with the presence of autoantibodies potently stimulates interferon production and immune system activation.

General Comments
TLR9 is an intracellular detector for pathogen-derived nucleic acids, in particular CpG dinucleotides. Trafficking of endosomal TLR9 is tightly controlled to prevent inappropriate activation [2].
The potential role of TLR9 in immuno-oncology is reviewed in [1].
