MyD88-dependent and -independent signaling ofTLR-4. Activation of NF-KB by TLR-4 can occur through the classical MyD88 signaling pathway, or in a MyD88-independent manner though the recruitment of TRIE Toll-Like Receptors and Apoptosis In many cases, infection can result in apoptosis and death of infected cells and this is an important aspect of host defense. ^^ A striking finding from our studies has been the effect of peptidoglycan on first trimester trophoblast cell survival. Peptidoglycan is the major component of gram-positive bacteria and a ligand forTLR-2.
