Fig. 3: Targets for modulation of cell death: some points may act as modulators of cell death depending on the kind of activation

Apoptosis induced by TLR activation has been suggested to be downregulated by silencing of TLR4 gene in experimental model or using soluble RAGE and/or specific antibodies against RAGE. Cell death is a source of HMGB-1, an activator of RAGE. TLR TLR-Toll-like receptors, RAGE receptor for advanced glycation end products.
