IRF3		anxiety disorder(anxiety disorder)	symptoms	Redei, 2015	Patients and nomal controls	effect-size=-0.86	On the basis of the hypothesis that chronic stress markers, ...... On the basis of the hypothesis that chronic stress markers, such as those developed from our CRS model, might also track anxiety-like states, we evaluated the possibility of differential expression of the transcript panel between those who were diagnosed with MDD with or without a comorbid anxiety disorder. This intragroup analysis revealed medium-to-large effect-size differences in 18 of the 26 candidate biomarkers.thus, the nonoverlapping candidates FAM46A, NAGA, TLR7, ZNF291/SCAPER, AHSP DGKA, GCLM,GGA3, IRF3, KIAA1539,and SLC4A1 are specific to MDDcomorbidwith anxiety.Theoverlapping transcripts CD59,IGSF4A/CADM1,AMFR,CAT,CDR2, CMAS,and PSME1 might represent transcriptomic alterations common to both major depression and anxiety disorders ormay represent a consistent alteration in EOMDD patients with depression regardless of comorbidities.

hsa04622	rig i_like_receptor_signaling_pathway	RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway	Specific families of pattern recognition receptors are respo...... Specific families of pattern recognition receptors are responsible for detecting viral pathogens and generating innate immune responses. Non-self RNA appearing in a cell as a result of intracellular viral replication is recognized by a family of cytosolic RNA helicases termed RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs). The RLR proteins include RIG-I, MDA5, and LGP2 and are expressed in both immune and nonimmune cells. Upon recognition of viral nucleic acids, RLRs recruit specific intracellular adaptor proteins to initiate signaling pathways that lead to the synthesis of type I interferon and other inflammatory cytokines, which are important for eliminating viruses.

hsa04620	toll like_receptor_signaling_pathway	Toll-like receptor signaling pathway	Specific families of pattern recognition receptors are respo...... Specific families of pattern recognition receptors are responsible for detecting microbial pathogens and generating innate immune responses. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are membrane-bound receptors identified as homologs of Toll in Drosophila. Mammalian TLRs are expressed on innate immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, and respond to the membrane components of Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria. Pathogen recognition by TLRs provokes rapid activation of innate immunity by inducing production of proinflammatory cytokines and upregulation of costimulatory molecules. TLR signaling pathways are separated into two groups: a MyD88-dependent pathway that leads to the production of proinflammatory cytokines with quick activation of NF-{kappa}B and MAPK, and a MyD88-independent pathway associated with the induction of IFN-beta and IFN-inducible genes, and maturation of dendritic cells with slow activation of NF-{kappa}B and MAPK.

hsa04623	cytosolic dna_sensing_pathway	Cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway	Specific families of pattern recognition receptors are respo...... Specific families of pattern recognition receptors are responsible for detecting foreign DNA from invading microbes or host cells and generating innate immune responses. DAI is the first identified sensor of cytosolic DNA which activates the IRF and NF-{kappa}B transcription factors, leading to production of type I interferon and other cytokines. The second type of cytoplasmic DNA sensor is AIM2. Upon sensing DNA, AIM2 triggers the assembly of the inflammasome, culminating in interleukin maturation. In addition to these receptors, there is a mechanism to sense foreign DNA, with the host RNA polymerase III converting the DNA into RNA for recognition by the RNA sensor RIG-I. These pathways provide various means to alert the cell. More...

REACT_6783	toll like_receptor_3_cascade	Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) as was shown for mammals is expr...... Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) as was shown for mammals is expressed on myeloid dendritic cells, respiratory epithelium, macrophages, and appears to play a central role in mediating the antiviral and inflammatory responses of the innate immunity in combating viral infections. Mammalian TLR3 recognizes dsRNA, and that triggers the receptor to induce the activation of NF-kappaB and the production of type I interferons (IFNs). dsRNA-stimulated phosphorylation of two specific TLR3 tyrosine residues (Tyr759 and Tyr858) is essential for initiating TLR3 signaling pathways.

Humans are exposed to millions of potential pathogens daily, through contact, ingestion, and inhalation.

REACT_6890	activated tlr4_signalling	The first known downstream component of TLR4 signalling is t...... The first known downstream component of TLR4 signalling is the adaptor MyD88. An MyD88-independent pathway involving the adaptor MyD88-adaptor-like (Mal; also known as TIR-domain-containing adaptor protein or TIRAP) has also been established for TLR4 signalling. MyD88 comprises an N-terminal Death Domain (DD) and a C-terminal TIR, whereas Mal lacks the DD. The TIR homotypic interactions bring adaptors into contact with the activated TLRs, whereas the DD modules recruit serine/threonine kinases such as interleukin-1-receptor-associated kinase (IRAK). Recruitment of these protein kinases is accompanied by autophosphorylation, which in turn results in the interaction of IRAK with TNF-receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6). This leads ultimately to activation of the IB kinase (IKK) complex, with degradation of the inhibitor IB and activation of NF-B, resulting in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. More...
REACT_6894	toll like_receptor_4_cascade	Toll-like Receptor 4 is a Microbe Associated Molecular Patte...... Toll-like Receptor 4 is a Microbe Associated Molecular Pattern receptor well known for it's sensitivity to Bacterial Lipopolysaccharides (LPS). LPS is assembled within diverse Gram-negative bacteria, many of which are human or plant pathogens. It is a component of the bacterial cell wall, and a potent activator of the innate immune response in humans, causing reactions including fever, headache, nausea, diarrhoea, changes in leukocyte and platelet counts, disseminated intravascular coagulation, multiorgan failure, shock and death. All these reactions are induced by cytokines and other endogenous mediators which are produced after interaction of the LPS with the humoral and cellular targets of the host. In macrophages, lipid A (a form of LPS) activation of TLR4 triggers the biosynthesis of diverse mediators of inflammation, such as TNF-alpha and IL1-beta, and activates the production of costimulatory molecules required for the adaptive immune response. In mononuclear and endothelial cells, lipid A also stimulates tissue factor production. These events are desirable for clearing local infections, but when these various mediators and clotting factors are overproduced, they can damage small blood vessels and precipitate shock accompanied by disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ failure.

REACT_6966	toll receptor_cascades	In human, ten members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family...... In human, ten members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family (TLR1-TLR10) have been identified (TLR11 has been found in mouse, but not in human). All TLRs have a similar Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain in their cytoplasmic region and an Ig-like domain in the extracellular region, where each is enriched with a varying number of leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). Each TLR can recognize specific microbial pathogen components. The binding pathogens component of the TLRs initializes signaling pathways that lead to induction of Interferon alpha/beta. There are three main signaling pathways: the first is a MyD88-dependent pathway that is common to all TLRs, except TLR3; the second is a TRAM-dependent pathway that is peculiar to TLR3 and TLR4 and is mediated by TRIF and RIP1; and the third is a TRAF6-mediated pathway peculiar to TLR3.
