Figure Lengend Snippet: Combined nucleotide polymorphisms in TLR1 or TLR6 and TIRAP are associated with a decreased TLR2 ligand-driven IL-6 release in LRTI children. This figure shows the impact of TIRAP rs8177374, TLR1 rs4833095, TLR1 rs5743618, TLR4 rs4986790, or TLR6 rs5743810 polymorphisms or their combinations on monocyte release of IL-6 following ex vivo whole blood stimulation by LPS, Pam3Cys, or Streptococcus pneumoniae ( Spn ). Values are shown as mean with SEM. Number of children per histogram may differ from those in Table (due to unavailable IL-6 values). (A) Number of patients in each group: wild type (WT) = 20, TIRAP [heterozygous (HT) and homozygous mutant (HM) reported together] = 15, and TLR4 / TIRAP (HT and HM reported together) = 2, TLR4 = 2. (B) WT = 8, TIRAP (HT and HM reported together) = 3, TLR1 rs4833095/ TIRAP (HT and HM reported together) = 12, and TLR1 rs4833095 (HT and HM reported together) = 14. (C) Controls = 6, TIRAP (HT and HM reported together) = 2, TLR1 rs574361 8 / TIRAP (HT and HM reported together) = 13, and TLR1 rs5743618 (HT and HM reported together) = 16. (D) Controls = 13, TIRAP (HT and HM reported together) = 3, TLR6 / TIRAP (HT and HM reported together) = 12, and TLR6 (HT and HM reported together) = 9. Gray histograms represent homozygous wild-type individuals, dashed histograms represent heterozygous, and white histograms represent homozygous mutant. Upper borders of histograms denote mean, and solid horizontal lines denote SEM. IL-6 secretion is expressed in picograms per milliliter for 10 monocytes. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; and *** P < 0.001 by Mann–Whitney test. Abbreviations: TLR, toll-like receptor; WT, wild type; IL-6, interleukin-6.
