Abstract

We present the findings of assessing the expression levels of extracellular TLR2 and TLR4 and intracellular TLR3 and TLR8 correlating with the severity of clinical manifestations of HPV infection. A total of 199 women took part in a single-center prospective comparative research study on TLR2, TLR3, TLR4 and TLR8 expression in HPV-related cervical lesions. TLRs' mRNA expression was analyzed using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Our results indicate the potential significance of TLR3, TLR4 and TLR8 in responding to HPV infection and its progression to SILs and CC, highlighting the importance of HPV polyinfection in relation to TLR4 and TLR8.
