Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: To evaluate the role of toll-like receptors (TLR) 2 and 4 in host responses to Aspergillus fumigatus by use of cultured telomerase-immortalized human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs).', 'HCECs were stimulated with inactive antigens from A. fumigatus. The expression of TLR2 and TLR4, phosphorylation of Ikappa B-alpha (pIkappa B-alpha), and release of interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6 was measured with and without inhibitors to TLR2 and TLR4.', 'Exposure of HCECs to A. fumigatus antigens resulted in up-regulation of TLR2 and TLR4, activation of pIkappa B, and release of IL-1beta and IL-6 in HCECs, effects that could be inhibited by treatment with TLR2 and TLR4 antibodies.\Question: Do aspergillus fumigatus antigens activate immortalized human corneal epithelial cells via toll-like receptors 2 and 4?
Output (English): TLR2 and TLR4-nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathways in corneal epithelium play important roles in inflammatory responses against A. fumigatus antigens.
