Resumen
Los receptores tipo Toll (TLRs) son cruciales en el reconocimiento y respuesta del sistema inmune innato a patógenos. Presentes en diversas células, detectan patrones moleculares asociados a microorganismos (PAMPs) y moléculas liberadas durante el daño tisular (DAMPs). Este Trabajo Fin de Máster estudió exhaustivamente los TLRs y su papel, identificando genes relacionados con patologías mediante análisis bioinformáticos de datos genómicos y transcriptómicos. Estos análisis caracterizaron patrones de expresión génica asociados a la activación de TLRs en contextos patológicos, proporcionando una base para la búsqueda de biomarcadores y dianas terapéuticas. Se construyeron redes de interacción molecular para modelar las interacciones entre genes identificados, facilitando una comprensión de los mecanismos moleculares subyacentes y su influencia en la patogénesis. Finalmente, se realizó un análisis de enriquecimiento funcional para evaluar las funciones biológicas y vías metabólicas implicadas, identificando estrategias terapéuticas más precisas y efectivas, y avanzando en la comprensión de enfermedades mediadas por TLRs.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are crucial transmembrane receptors in the innate immune system’s response to pathogens. Present in various immune and non-immune cells, they detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). This Master’s Thesis conducted an exhaustive study on TLRs and their roles, identifying genes related to pathologies through bioinformatic analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data. These analyses characterized gene expression patterns associated with TLR activation in pathological contexts, providing a basis for searching biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Molecular interaction networks were constructed to model the complex interactions between identified genes, enhancing the understanding of underlying molecular mechanisms and their influence on disease pathogenesis. Functional enrichment analysis was performed to evaluate the biological functions and metabolic pathways involved, identifying significant similarities and differences among studied biological profiles. This integrative study advances the understanding of TLR-mediated diseases, offering new perspectives for biomedical research and the development of targeted treatments.
