Trained Immunity Induction via Pattern Recognition Receptor (for BCG) (N/A)

Target
N/A
Molecular classification
Innate Immune Receptor-mediated Pathway, Pattern Recognition Receptor signaling, Epigenetic regulation, Metabolic reprogramming
01

Overview

Trained immunity refers to the phenomenon where innate immune cells develop a long-lasting enhanced response after exposure to certain stimuli, including vaccines like BCG. This process is mediated by epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming of innate immune cells via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as TLR2, TLR4 and NOD2 upon recognition of mycobacterial PAMPs. The net effect is an enhanced non-specific response to subsequent infections, driven by increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and improved innate defenses.

Mechanism of action

Activation of PRRs (NOD2, TLR2, TLR4) by BCG leading to intracellular signaling, epigenetic remodeling, metabolic rewiring, and enhanced cytokine production upon secondary stimulation.
