Toll-Like Receptor Transcriptome in the HPV-Positive Cervical Cancer Microenvironment

Table 2

Summary of literature of dysregulated innate immunity genes in cervical tissue. A systematic literature search for investigations into TLR and IFN expression in HPV-infected cervical tissue or cell lines was performed using the following search terms in the PubMed database: “Cervical” and “interferon gamma” (489 hits) or “interferon beta” (202 hits) or “interferon kappa” (3 hits) or “toll-like receptor” (59 hits). Acronyms IFN-γ, -β and -κ as well as TLR in combination with “cervical” were also tried. The listed citations are articles published up to 5 January 2011 which describe TLR and IFN gene regulation and dysregulation. Only articles published in English were considered, and only articles relevant for our study were included in the table.
