Abstract

: The role of TLR's in the pathogenesis of dengue is not explored well. Differential expression of TLR2 and TLR4 was reported in dengue cases. In the present study in order to understand the expression pattern of various TLR's, including TLR2, TLR3, TLR4 and TLR9, mRNA levels were determined in various dengue study groups compared to control groups, at the time of admission and around defervescence using quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR). : A total of 88 dengue cases with 32 severe and 56 non-severe cases were involved in the study. Gene expression pattern of the study groups was compared with 31 other febrile illness (OFI) cases and 63 healthy controls. Transcript levels of the target genes were estimated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) samples collected from cases and controls using quantitative real-time PCR. : We have noted a significant alteration in the levels of all TLR's in dengue and OFI cases compared to healthy controls at the time of admission. Interestingly we have noted a significant alteration in the levels of TLR9 in severe and non-severe cases during defervescence. The same was not detected in the OFI group. : The present study found a change in TLR's during dengue infection. This suggests us to explore the TLR's as therapeutic candidate for anti-dengue virus strategies. However, in order to ascertain the involvement of TLR's in the disease pathology and its role as biomarkers for prognosis, a complete dynamics of TLR's expression needs to be studied.
