© 2020 Elsevier GmbH Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) induce a wide spectrum of functional activities after interaction with blood cells. Effect of structure of toxic LPS from S- and Re-chemotypes of E. coli and/or non-toxic LPS of Rhodobacter capsulatus PG (R. caps.) on activation of neutrophils and monocytes of human whole blood were studied, particularly, expression of TLR4, CD14 and CD11b receptors, phagocytosis of BioParticles Alexa Fluor 488, synthesis of cytokines and chemokines. A leading role of CD11b receptor in phagocytic activity of neutrophils primed by LPS from various E. coli chemotypes was shown. The non-toxic LPS of R. caps. does not affect the efficiency of phagocytosis activity of the neutrophils. The LPS of R. caps. was shown to induce production of TRIF-dependent cytokine IFN-β in human whole blood leukocytes selectively, without activating MyD88-dependent pathway of pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis, displaying properties of patrial agonist of TLR4. Structure and biological activity of LPS R. caps. allows considering it as a promising immunity stimulating pharmacological agent.

© 2018, SPb RAACI. The theory of polyetiological tumorigenesis is one of the most important theories of carcinogenesis. A great place in this theory is given to the role of inflammatory component, which is implemented via the factors of innate immunity. I.e., toll-like receptors (TLRs), chemokines and their receptors are related to innate immunity. Activation of TLRs may lead to regress or progression of cancer process. It is known that TLR3, TLR5, TLR7, TLR9 have the greatest anti-Tumor effect due to the dendritic cells (DCs)-mediated activation of type I T helpers, activation of M1-Type macrophages and Treg inhibition. Stimulation of TLR2 and TLR4 exerts an activating effect upon the tumor, by the MyD88 hyperactivation and secretion of IL-6 and TNFα, but exact mechanisms are not fully understood. In addition to TLRs, chemokines and their receptors have a great influence on the cancer development. It is shown that CCL2, CCL4, CCL17, CCL22 and CXCL12, which are secreted by cancer microenviroment, activate chemotaxis of tumor cells. It is also known that the chemokines activate CXCR4 and CCR7 (expressed by tumor cells) thus leading to metastasis. It is shown that there is an association between some gene polymorphisms of TLRs', chemokines and their receptors, and development of cancer. Thus, we may conclude that the role of TLRs and chemokines is important in oncogenesis. Further study of innate immunity factors influencing tumorigenesis are important for finding new approaches to cancer therapy and new potential vaccines against cancer.
