The antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS)

The antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is characterized by clinical manifestations such as arterial or venous thromboembolism and recurrent pregnancy loss as well as the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLA). Inflammatory activation of the vascular endothelium appears to be a major pathogenic mechanism by which aPLA induce the thrombophilic state observed in APS. The study of APS is complicated by the polyclonal nature of aPLA, the variety of putative target antigens, the heterogeneity of the mechanisms proposed for endothelial cell activation, and the moderate concordance between aPLA detection assays.

Recent studies performed by our group and elsewhere provided evidence that one (or more) members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family mediate the cellular response to aPLA. TLRs are cell surface receptors that recognize pathogen associated molecular patterns and constitute a first line of defence by launching an inflammatory response against bacteria and viruses. TLRs have also been implicated in several autoimmune disorders and in atherosclerosis. Our aim is to better characterize the role of TLRs in APS which may improve our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms leading to APS and facilitate the development of new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of APS.
