Article Title: Inhibition of TLR4 enhances oxaliplatin chemotherapy sensitivity in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by suppressing inflammation and glycolysis

doi: 10.1186/s12876-026-04663-2

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic diagram illustrating the mechanism by which TLR4 inhibition enhances oxaliplatin (OXA) chemosensitivity in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). OXA treatment upregulates TLR4 and its downstream adaptor protein MYD88, which activates the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65. This activation drives two parallel pathways: (1) the inflammatory response, characterized by the upregulation of pro-inflammatory factors such as IL-6, COX-2, and CXCL5; (2) the glycolytic metabolic reprogramming, mediated by the HIF-1α/GLUT1 axis and enhanced expression of glycolytic enzymes including PFKM and LDHB. These two pathways synergistically promote ESCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, ultimately reducing OXA chemosensitivity. Inhibition of TLR4 (via genetic knockout, shRNA knockdown, or pharmacological inhibitor TAK-242) or its downstream mediator MYD88 (via shRNA knockdown or inhibitor ST2825) blocks NF-κB p65 phosphorylation, thereby suppressing both the inflammatory response and glycolytic activity. This dual inhibition disrupts the adaptive survival mechanisms of ESCC cells, potentiating the anti-tumor efficacy of OXA
