Research progress on the mechanism of Toll-like receptor 9 in respiratory diseases

Abstract

Toll-like receptor 9（TLR9）is a member of the TLR family, which plays a key role in the activation of innate and adaptive immunity. TLR9 is closely associated with various common respiratory diseases, such as asthma, lung cancer and pneumonia, and affects clinical outcome and prognosis. In this article, the roles and related mechanisms of TLR9 in respiratory diseases were reviewed based on relevant studies in recent years.
