Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 is a pattern recognition receptor that plays a vital part in activation of the innate immune system. Results from animal and computer-simulation studies have demonstrated that targeting TLR4 to block the TLR4-nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway reduces the inflammatory response and complications associated with T2DM. Therefore, TLR4-targeted therapy has broad prospects. Here, we reviewed the role of TLR4 in inflammation during chronic hyperglycemia in T2DM and its therapeutic prospects.Keywords: T2DM, TLRS, TLR4, inflammation, TLR4 treatment |
