Signaling pathways from TLRs are mediated by the Toll/ IL-1R(TIR)domain-containing adaptor molecules. TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF) 6 is thought to activate NF-kappaB and MAPKs downstream of these TIR domain-containing proteins to induce production of inflammatory cytokines. However, the precise role of TRAF6 in signaling from individual TLRs has not been appropriately addressed. We analyzed macrophages from TRAF6-deficient mice and made the following observations. In the absence of TR4F6, 1) ligands for TLR2, TLR5, TLR7, and TLR9 failed to induce activation of NF-kappaB and MAPKs or production of inflammatory cytokines; 2) TLR4 ligand-induced cytokine production was remarkably reduced and activation of NF-kappaB and MAPKs was observed, albeit with delayed kinetics; and 3) in contrast with previously reported findings, TLR3 signaling was not affected. These results indicate that TRAF6 is essential for MyD88-dependent signaling but is not required for TIR domain-containing adaptor-inducing IFN-beta (TRIF)-dependent signaling.
