The Toll-like receptors TLR2 and TLR4 are known to be present on a number of different human intestinal epithelial cells, including primary cells, H4 and Caco-2 cells [ 52, 53, 54].
The Toll-like receptor family [ 49], which has evolutionary roots throughout invertebrate metazoans for pattern-based recognition of bacterial and fungal cell-surface components [ 50], activate NFκB through convergent pathways involving the IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK), the adaptor protein MyD88, TRAF6, NFκB-inducing kinase (NIK), and IκB kinase (Iκk) [ 51].
