IL‑8 Secretion Induced by LPS and Neutralization by Human TLR4 Antibody.

IL‑8 Secretion Induced by LPS and Neutralization by Human TLR4 Antibody.

Lipopolysacharide (LPS) stimulates IL-8 secretion in the HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line co-transfected with human TLR4 and MD-2, in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by the Human CXCL8/IL-8 Quantikine ELISA Kit (Catalog # D8000C). IL-8 secretion elicited by LPS (75 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human TLR4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1478). The ND50 is typically 1.5-7.5 µg/mL.

Detection of Human TLR4 by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence

Gene expression of biomarkers of injury and immunostaining of TLR4 in patient auricles.(A-D) TLR4 and NOX4 are activated resulting in elevated TNF-alpha in the auricles. Auricles obtained during CABG surgery presented higher expression of TLR4 (P<0.03), BNP (P<0.05), NOX4 (P<0.03), and TNF-alpha (P = 0.135) in reduced versus ‘preserved EF’. (E) TLR2 expression was similar in both groups. (F1-F2) Representative photographs show double-immunostaining of Troponin I and TLR4 in ‘preserved EF’ auricle. (F3-F4) Representative photographs show double-immunostaining of troponin I and TLR4 in the ‘reduced EF’ auricle. TLR4 staining revealed an apparent upregulation in all ‘reduced EF’ patients examined compared to ‘preserved EF’ patients' tissue.

Background: TLR4

TLR4 is a 100 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the mammalian Toll-Like Receptor family of pathogen pattern recognition molecules. In the literature molecular weights correspondent to 110 kDa and 130 kDa were reported for TLR4 (1). MD-2, also known as ESOP-1, is a 25 kDa secreted protein that is required for TLR4-mediated responses to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1‑4). The human TLR4 cDNA encodes an 839 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a 23 aa signal sequence, a 608 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 187 aa cytoplasmic domain. TLR4 contains 21 leucine rich repeats in its ECD and one cytoplasmic Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain (5). The ECD of human TLR4 shares approximately 25% aa sequence identity with other TLRs and 60%‑74% aa sequence identity with bovine, equine, feline, mouse, rat, and porcine TLR4. The human MD-2 cDNA encodes a 160 aa precursor with an 18 aa signal sequence (5). Human MD-2 shares 20% aa sequence identity with MD-1 and 62%‑64% aa sequence identity with bovine, mouse, and rat MD-2. MD-2 associates with TLR4 on monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells (6‑8). MD-2 expression is required for cell surface localization of TLR4 and for optimal LPS-induced TLR4 signaling (8, 9). MD-2 also forms soluble disulfide-linked homo-oligomers which can interact with TLR4 (7). Through a domain separate from its TLR4-binding domain, MD-2 extracts LPS from circulating CD14-LPS complexes and carries the LPS into a ternary complex with TLR4 (10‑12). The interaction of MD-2/LPS with TLR4 induces receptor oligomerization and the triggering of an inflammatory response (13). Increased levels of plasma MD-2 in septic shock patients sensitizes MD-2 non-expressing epithelial cells to LPS and promotes widespread tissue inflammation (14).
