  • TLR Signaling Pathways
    Seminars in Immunology 16 (2004) 3–9 TLR signaling pathways Kiyoshi Takeda, Shizuo Akira∗ Department of Host Defense, Research Institute for Microbial Diseases, Osaka University, and ERATO, Japan Science and Technology Corporation, 3-1 Yamada-oka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan Abstract Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been established to play an essential role in the activation of innate immunity by recognizing spe- cific patterns of microbial components. TLR signaling pathways arise from intracytoplasmic TIR domains, which are conserved among all TLRs. Recent accumulating evidence has demonstrated that TIR domain-containing adaptors, such as MyD88, TIRAP, and TRIF, modulate TLR signaling pathways. MyD88 is essential for the induction of inflammatory cytokines triggered by all TLRs. TIRAP is specifically involved in the MyD88-dependent pathway via TLR2 and TLR4, whereas TRIF is implicated in the TLR3- and TLR4-mediated MyD88-independent pathway. Thus, TIR domain-containing adaptors provide specificity of TLR signaling. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: TLR; Innate immunity; Signal transduction; TIR domain 1. Introduction 2.

Many inflammatory mediators contribute to paracrine and endocrine signalling, and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis in the female reproductive tract. However, inflammation is also a feature of microbial infections of the reproductive tract. Bacteria and viruses commonly cause endometritis, perturb ovarian follicle development and suppress the endocrine activity of the hypothalamus and pituitary in cattle. Innate immunity is an evolutionary ancient system that orchestrates host cell inflammatory responses aimed at eliminating pathogens and repairing damaged tissue. Pattern recognition receptors on host cells bind pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns, leading to the activation of intracellular MAPK and NFkB signalling pathways and the release of inflammatory mediators.

The innate immune recognition of bacterial and viral products is mediated by a family of transmembrane receptors known as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). In endothelial cells, exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major cell wall constituent of Gram- negative bacteria, results in endothelial activation through a receptor complex consisting of TLR4, CD14 and MD2. Recruitment of the adaptor protein myeloid differentiation factor (MyD88) initiates an MyD88-dependent pathway that culminates in the early activation of nuclear factor-jB (NF-jB) and the mitogen-activated protein kinases. In parallel, a MyD88-independent pathway results in a late-phase activation of NF-jB. The outcome is the production of various proinflammatory mediators and ultimately cellular injury, leading to the various vascular sequelae of sepsis.

  • Functional Expression of TLR5 of Different Vertebrate Species And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Functional expression of TLR5 of diferent vertebrate species and diversifcation in intestinal Received: 4 December 2017 Accepted: 10 July 2018 pathogen recognition Published: xx xx xxxx Eugenia Faber1,2, Karsten Tedin3, Yvonne Speidel1,2, Melanie M. Brinkmann4 & Christine Josenhans 1,2,5 Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is activated by bacterial fagellins and plays a crucial role in the frst-line defence against pathogenic bacteria and in immune homeostasis, and is highly conserved in vertebrate species. However, little comparative information is available on TLR5 functionality. In this study, we compared TLR5 activation using full-length and chimeric TLR5 of various vertebrate species (human, chicken, mouse, pig, cattle). Chimeric TLR5 receptors, consisting of human transmembrane and intracellular domains, linked to extracellular domains of animal origin, were generated and expressed. The comparison of chimeric TLR5s and their full-length counterparts revealed signifcant functional disparities. While porcine and chicken full-length TLR5s showed a strongly reduced functionality in human cells, all chimeric receptors were functional when challenged with TLR5 ligand Salmonella FliC. Using chimeric receptors as a tool allowed for the identifcation of ectodomain-dependent activation potential and partially host species-specifc diferences in response to various enteric bacterial strains and their purifed fagellins. We conclude that both the extra- and intracellular determinants of TLR5 receptors are crucial for compatibility with the species expression background and hence for proper receptor functionality. TLR5 receptors with a common intracellular domain provide a useful system to investigate bacteria- and host-specifc diferences in receptor activation. Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is a crucial determinant of pathogen-host interaction and essential for immune home- ostasis1–4.
