Literature information of multiple sclerosis :
| Pubmed ID | 30740110 |
| Year | 2019 |
| Title | Do Antiretroviral Drugs Protect From Multiple Sclerosis by Inhibiting Expression of MS-Associated Retrovirus? |
Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | TLR2 expression was significantly higher in MS compared to HC, |
| Mechanism/Pathway | Activation of autoimmune processes in MS results from the interaction of genetic and environmental factors.An additional risk factor that has been identified is the expression of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) of the HERV-W family.It has been reported that endogenous retroviruses can engage the innate immune system, and in particular Toll-like receptors (TLRs). |
