Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive chronic disease of the respiratory tract that has no known cure and results in significant global morbidity and mortality. Clinical observations have demonstrated an association among lung microbiota, alveolar inflammation, disease progression, and death in patients with IPF (1, 2). TLRs (Toll-like receptors) are highly conserved canonical innate immune receptors that recognize a diverse repertoire of molecular patterns derived from microbes (3). TLR signaling may regulate interactions with lung microbiota in transgenic animal models (4). TOLLIP (Toll-interacting protein) is a complex protein, widely expressed in the respiratory tract and a key regulator of TLR signaling. The rs5743890 SNP of the TOLLIP gene is associated with increased mortality in IPF (5, 6). However, the role of this TOLLIP SNP in regulating lung microbiota is unknown.
