Beyond its canonical role in infection, emerging evidence highlights TLR4's involvement in numerous non-infectious human diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders to neurodegenerative conditions and cancer. Targeting TLR4 signaling pathways presents a promising therapeutic approach with broad applicability across these diverse pathological states. In metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes, dysregulated TLR4 activation contributes to chronic low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance, driving disease progression. In cardiovascular diseases, TLR4 signaling promotes vascular inflammation and atherogenesis, implicating its potential as a therapeutic target to mitigate cardiovascular risk. Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, exhibit aberrant TLR4 activation linked to neuroinflammation and neuronal damage, suggesting TLR4 modulation as a strategy to attenuate neurodegeneration. Additionally, in cancer, TLR4 signaling within the tumor microenvironment promotes tumor progression, metastasis, and immune evasion, underscoring its relevance as a target for anticancer therapy. Advances in understanding TLR4 signaling cascades and their contributions to disease pathogenesis have spurred the development of various pharmacological agents targeting TLR4. These agents range from small molecule inhibitors to monoclonal antibodies, with some undergoing preclinical and clinical evaluations. Furthermore, strategies involving TLR4 modulation through dietary interventions and microbiota manipulation offer additional avenues for therapeutic exploration. Hence, targeting TLR4 holds significant promise as a therapeutic strategy across a spectrum of human diseases, offering the potential to modulate inflammation, restore immune homeostasis, and impede disease progression.</p>","PeriodicalId":10859,"journal":{"name":"Current protein & peptide science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142892750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complexity of AD makes the development of treatments infamously challenging. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genes's ɛ4 allele is one of the main genetic risk factors for AD. While the APOE gene's ɛ4 allele considerably increases the chance of developing AD, the ɛ2 allele is protective compared to the prevalent ɛ3 variant. It is fiercely discussed how APOE affects the development and course of disease since it has a variety of activities that influence both neuronal and non-neuronal cells. ApoE4 contributes to the formation of tau tangles, deposition of Aβ, neuroinflammation, and other processes. Four decades of research have provided a significant understanding of the structure of APOE and how this may affect the neuropathology and pathogenesis of AD. APOE is a crucial lipid transporter essential for the growth of the central nervous system (CNS), upkeep, and repair. The mechanisms by which APOE contributes to the pathophysiology of AD are still up for discussion, though. Evidence suggests that APOE affects the brain's clearance and deposition of Aβ. Additionally, APOE has Aβ-independent pathways in AD, which has led to the identification of new functions for APOE, including mitochondrial dysfunction. This study summarizes important studies that describe how APOE4 affects well-known AD pathologies, including tau pathology, Aβ, neuroinflammation, and dysfunction of neural networks.

It has a variety of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Therefore, Baicalein (BN) is widely used in the field of medicine and is considered a potential natural medicine. Osteoporosis (OP) is a bone metabolic disease characterized by decreased bone mineral density and bone structure destruction, which is mainly caused by decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption. With the continuous development of molecular biology, the signaling pathways and gene targets of bone metabolism are also expanding. Recent studies have shown that baicalein may affect the function of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells through MAPK/ERK and MAPKs/NF-κB signaling pathways, so as to have a therapeutic effect on OP. However, the specific mechanism of baicalein in the treatment of OP is still unclear.
