Expression of innate immune response genes in the heart valves obtained from patients with infective endocarditis

Abstract

We studied samples of heart valves obtained during cardiac surgery from 26 patients with infective endocarditis (IE) and 12 patients without this pathology (control group). The expression of innate immune response genes (TLR1, TLR2, TLR4 and TLR6) was evaluated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. It was found that the TLR2 expression in patients with IE was similar to the control group, while the mRNA level of the TLR1, TLR4 and TLR6 genes in the patients was significantly lower compared to the control.
