The service was afforded by BaiHao Biological technology (Liaoning, China). (29) identified that TLR4 phosphorylated the PI3K/AKT pathway, increased the expression of mitochondrial transcriptor A (T-fam) and cytochrome c oxidase (COX, complex Ⅳ) and activated ATP production. The "ortho-" prefix refers to the position of the compound’s hydroxyl moiety, which is found in the para-position in vanillin. All mass spectra in this site (plus many more) are available from the NIST/EPA/NIH Mass Spectral Library. Further gain and loss of function showed that TLR2 activation induced GC cell proliferation and promoted reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, Ca2+ accumulation, oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain, while blocking TLR2 inhibited mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. The incidence of gastric tumors was 66.6% (24/36) in the Control group, while it decreased to 38.9% (14/36) in the GRA-treated group (P = 0.008). In our present study, TLR2 activation induced Wnt-1, β-catenin and COX-2 expression, while TLR2 inactivation inhibited Wnt/β-catenin and COX-2 expressions, suggesting that the crosstalk between TLR2/MyD88, Wnt/β-catenin and COX-2/PGE2 pathway existed in the procedure of gastric tumorigenesis. TLR9 sensed hypoxia conditions, induced p38-MAPK signaling pathway and then activated mitochondrial biogenesis and promoted cancer cell survival (11). Recently, high levels of ROS have been shown to act as a secondary messenger, controlling various signaling cascades and leading to the sustained proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells (34). High TLR2 levels facilitated GC cell proliferation and activated growth-responsive signaling pathways.

Although some researchers have shown that GRA modulated mitochondrial function, decreased cytochrome C release and induced cancer cell apoptosis (14), the possible effects of GRA on energy metabolism and mitochondrial bioenergetics have not been well studied. The average tumor volume was 524.1 ± 56.2 mm3, while it decreased into 305.4 ± 33.6 mm3 in the GRA-treated group (P = 0.001) (Figure 1A). In this study, TLR2 is highly expressed in Gan GC and various GC cell lines, and GRA treatment hypermethylated the TLR2 promoter and downregulated TLR2 expression. To confirm the transcriptome sequencing results, qRT-PCR was performed to screen the expression levels of TLR2 in paired fresh tumor tissues and adjacent tissues isolated from nine Gan mice; the results showed that TLR2 was indeed higher in GC tissues than that in adjacent tissues (Figure 1I), and it was suppressed by GRA treatment both in mRNA (Figure 1J) and protein level (Supplementary Figure 1, available at Carcinogenesis Online). 2018YFC1312100).

C16H15NO4 (C29) and its derivative ortho-vanillin (o-vanillin) were identified as a potential TLR2 inhibitor, and o-vanillin pretreatment of mice reduced TLR2-induced inflammation (23).
