First, we used CLI-095, a specific inhibitor of TLR4 (Ii et al., 2006; Kawamoto et al., 2008) and found that it blocked the SLY-induced cytokine release in PBMCs (Figure ?(Figure4A),4A), THP-1M�� cells (Figure ?(Figure4B)4B) and peritoneal macrophages from C57BL/6 mice (Figure ?(Figure4C).4C). Second, we compared TLR4 dependent SLY inflammatory activity in macrophages ALPI isolated from wild-type mice (C3H/HeN) with activity in macrophages isolated from TLR4 point-mutant mice (C3H/HeJ). C3H/HeJ mice carry a missense mutation in the TLR4 gene (P712H), which renders them hypo-responsive to LPS (Poltorak et al., 1998). As shown in Figure ?Figure4D,4D, SLY activates the synthesis of TNF-�� in peritoneal-derived macrophages from WT mice but could not activate mutant peritoneal-derived macrophages, demonstrating that SLY induces inflammatory cytokine production through TLR4 on immune cells. Figure 4 TLR4 on immune cells mediated the inflammatory activity of SLY. PBMCs (A), THP-1 macrophages (B) or primary peritoneal macrophage isolated from C57BL/6 mice. (C) were pre-incubated with CLI-095 (6.4 ��M) for 6 h, and then nSLY (100 ng/mL) or LPS ... MyD88 is the main adaptor protein in the SLY-TLR4 signaling pathway TLR4 triggers MyD88-dependent and TRIF-dependent signaling (Lu et al., 2008). MyD88 is required for full signaling in the TLR pathway. To discriminate MyD88- or TRIF-mediated signaling downstream of SLY-TLR4, we used MyD88 and TRIF- specific inhibitors (pepinh-MYD and pepinh-TRIF, respectively) and pepinh-Control in this study. Pepinh-MYD inhibited SLY-induced TNF-�� release in PBMCs (Figure ?(Figure5A)5A) and RAW264.7 (Figure ?(Figure5B).5B). However, pepinh-TRIF played only a limited role for PBMCs and RAW264.7 (with no significant effects compared with the pepinh-Control treatment), indicating that MyD88 is the main downstream adaptor of TLR4 in SLY-induced TNF-�� synthesis (Figure ?(Figure5B5B). Figure 5 SLY-activated immune cells produce TNF-�� primarily through the MyD88 adaptor. PBMCs (A) or RAW264.7 (B) were pretreated with 10 ��M of pepinh-control (con), pepinh-MYD (MYD), or pepinh-TRIF (TRIF) for 6 h and then they were incubated with ... Involvement of MAPK in TNF-�� release by immune cells stimulated with SLY Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is an important serine/threonine protein kinase in inflammatory development. Four MAPK pathways are activated upon LPS-TLR4 stimulation in macrophages, including ERK, JNK/SAPK, p38, and BMK/ERK5. We analyzed whether these MAPKs are involved in SLY induced inflammatory response. We used inhibitors of p38 (SB203580), ERK (U0126) and JNK (SP600125) and found that SB203580 had a powerful effect on PBMCs (Figure ?(Figure6A),6A), but limited effect on RAW264.7 (Figure ?(Figure6C)6C) and it had no effect on THP-1 macrophages (Figure ?(Figure6B).6B).
