Trypanosoma cruzi induce differential expression of pathogen pattern recognition receptors in HPE. Explants were co-incubated with 105 T. cruzi trypomastigotes/ml for 2 h and the expression of TLR-2 (a), TLR-4 (b), TLR-7 (c), TLR-9 (d), NOD-1 (e) and NOD-2 (f) were assayed. Samples were processed for RT-qPCR. The sequences of primers can be found in Table 1. The significance of differences was evaluated using Student’s t-tests for paired data. *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ****P ≤ 0.0001
