Activation of TLR3 in keratinocytes increases expression of genes involved in formation of the epidermis, lipid accumulation and epidermal organelles

Injury to the skin, and the subsequent release of non-coding double-stranded RNA from necrotic keratinocytes, has been identified as an endogenous activator of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3). Since changes in keratinocyte growth and differentiation follow injury, we hypothesized that TLR3 might trigger...
