    HRP2 increases pro-inflammatory and Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes in cortical organoids. HRP2-induced inflammation-related genes were profiled Fold changes greater than 1.5 and p values < 0.05 calculated using Student’s t -test was considered to be a significant dysregulation. (A) A heatmap was generated showing up-and down-regulated genes. The effects of HRP2 on cortical organoids at day 50 in culture are shown by site (B), including cerebral cortex and glia, as well as by pathway (C), including TLR signaling. Further analysis revealed the relationship between upregulated genes and activation of <t>TLR2</t> pathway (D). Western blot densitometry of organoid lysates (data represented as means ± SEM) confirms that HRP2 significantly induces TLR2 and TLR1 expression, whereas NRG1 reduces these effects (E, F). a: p < 0.05 compared to basal conditions; b: p < 0.05 compared to HRP2 treatment. One-way ANOVA and t -test were used. Please also see <xref ref-type=Figure S4 . " width="250" height="auto" />

    HRP2 uses TLR1 and TLR2 to increase CXCL10 expression and cell death in iPSC Cell proliferation, apoptosis, and expression of inflammatory markers were assessed in iPSC treated with HRP2 after TLR1 and TLR2 blockage. (A) Proliferation assay showed that IPSC growth was partially restored, whereas their apoptosis (B) and necrosis (C) were reduced to the levels of untreated controls. TLR1 and TLR2 blocking in HRP2-treated iPSC has an antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory effect, as it is confirmed by IHC: the expression of cleaved caspase 3 (D, F) and CXCL10 (E, G) is reduced. Data represented as means ± SEM a: p < 0.05 compared to basal conditions; b: p < 0.05 compared to HRP2 treatment. Statistical significance between groups was determined using t -test and analysis of variance.

    Induction of ICAM-1 expression in coronary endothelial cells by PGN and LPS requires <t>TLR2</t> and TLR4, respectively . A . Coronary endothelial cells isolated from TLR2 KO and wild type (C57BL/6) mice were treated with PGN (10 μg/ml) for 24 h. A representative immunoblot shows that PGN induced a robust increase in ICAM-1 levels in wild type cells, but it had a minimal effect on ICAM-1 levels in TLR2 KO cells. B . A representative immunoblot shows that induction of ICAM-1 expression by LPS (200 ng/ml, 24 h) is markedly reduced in coronary endothelial cells from TLR4-defective (C3H/HeJ) mice.

Non-diabetic and diabetic CAECs were stimulated with PGN (10 μg/ml) and LPS (200 ng/ml) for 1, 2 or 24 h. Levels of IL-6 and IL-8 peptides ( A and B ) in medium were assessed by ELISA after treatment for 24 h, and mRNA levels in cell lysates ( C, D, E and F ) were analyzed with real-time PCR after treatment for 1 or 2 h. After stimulation of either TLR2 or TLR4, diabetic cells expressed higher levels of IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA and released greater amounts of IL-6 and IL-8.
