Abstract

The normal intestinal epithelium is not inflamed despite contact with a high density of commensal bacteria. Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) express low levels of TLR4 and MD-2 and are lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-unresponsive. We hypothesized that immune-mediated signals regulate the expression of TLR4 and MD-2 in IEC. Expression of TLR4 and MD-2 was examined in normal colonic epithelial cells or intestinal epithelial cell lines. The effect of the cytokines interferon (IFN)-gamma, IFN-alpha, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on TLR4 and MD-2 expression was examined by reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot. NF-kappaB transcriptional activation and interleukin-8 secretion were used as measures of LPS responsiveness. Native colonic epithelial cells and IEC lines express a low level of TLR4 and MD-2 mRNA. IFN-gamma regulates MD-2 expression in both IEC lines, whereas IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha regulate TLR4 mRNA expression in IEC lines. Pre-incubation with IFN-gamma and/or TNF-alpha sensitizes IEC to LPS-dependent interleukin-8 secretion. To examine MD-2 transcriptional regulation, we cloned a 1-kb sequence proximal to the MD-2 gene translational start site. This promoter directed expression of a reporter gene in endothel...Continue Reading
