Abstract

Immunodeficiencies can lead to alterations of the gut microbiome that render it pathogenic and capable of transmitting disease to naïve hosts. Here, we review the role of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 5, the innate receptor for bacterial flagellin, in immune responses to the normal gut microbiota with a focus its role on adaptive immunity. Loss of TLR5 has profound effects on the microbiota that include greater temporal instability of major lineages and upregulation of flagellar motility genes that may be linked to the reduced levels of anti-flagellin antibodies in the TLR5(-/-) host. A variety of human TLR5 gene alleles exist that also associated with inflammatory conditions and may do so via effects on the gut microbiome and altered host-microbial crosstalk.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Expression and activation of TLR5 on IECs regulates the composition and localization of microbiota and prevents disease associated intestinal inflammation.

    “It was demonstrated in numerous reports from Dr Gewirtz’s group that expression and activation of TLR5 on IECs regulates the composition and localization of microbiota and prevents disease associated intestinal inflammation.165, 166, 167, 168”
  • Variations in TLR5 genes are associated with a number of inflammatory diseases.

    “Interestingly, variations in TLR5 genes are associated with a number of inflammatory diseases (Leifer et al., 2014).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
