Flagellin from various species of gram-negative bacteria activates monocytes to produce proinflammatory cytokines, We have analyzed the pathway by which Salmonella enteritidis flagellin (FliC) activates murine and human monocyte/macrophage-like cell lines, Since lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the principal immune stimulatory component of gram-negative bacteria, is known to signal through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), we tested the possibility that FliC also signals via TLR4, When murine HeNC2 cells were stimulated with LPS in the presence of a neutralizing anti-TLR4 monoclonal antibody, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and nitric oxide (NO) production were markedly reduced. In contrast, FliC-mediated TNF-alpha and NO production were minimally affected by the anti-TLR4 antibody. Furthermore, FliC, unlike LPS, stimulated TNF-alpha production in the TLR4 mutant cell line, GG2EE, indicating that TLR4 is not essential for FliC-mediated signaling, To test the possibility that FliC signals via another TLR, we measured FliC-mediated activation of interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor-associated kinase (IRAK), a central component in IL-1R/TLR signaling. FliC induced IRAK activation in HeNC2 and GG2EE cells as well as in the human promonocytic cell line THP-I, IRAK activation was rapid in HeNC2 cells, with maximal activity observed after 5 min of treatment with FliC, In addition, FliC-mediated IRAK activation exhibited the same concentration dependence as was demonstrated for the induction of TNF-alpha. These results represent the first demonstration of IRAK activation by a purified bacterial protein and strongly suggest that a TLR distinct from TLR4 is involved in the macrophage inflammatory response to FliC.
