Immunopharmacology Comments
CD36 expressed by macrophages plays a key role in the recognition and phagocytosis (scavenging) of multiple ligands that are recognised either as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) released by apoptotic cells, or as potentially dangerous pathogen-associated ligands. CD36 associates with specific Toll-like receptor (TLR) DAMP-detecting heterodimers when bound by certain ligands, and following internalisation of the ligand/CD36/TLR clusters, inflammatory responses (e.g. NF-κB-dependent production of CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL9 and CCL5, NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated IL-1B production, and NF-κB-dependent production of TNF in reponse to microbial diacylated lipopeptide) are triggered. Pharmacological modulation of CD36/TLR signalling is being explored as a strategy to suppress macrophage-driven inflammation [1,5-6]. To date research has focussed on the development of azapeptide and azasulfurylpeptide ligand mimetics, which are designed with minimal liability with regards to neovascularization and with optimised and selective activity towards the CD36-mediated TLR2/6-triggered innate inflammatory response (i.e. pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine production in macrophages).
