We previously showed that viable Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (Mtb) bacilli contain distinct ligands that
activate cells via the mammalian Toll-like receptor (TLR) proteins TLR2
and TLR4. We now demonstrate that expression of a dominant negative
TLR2 or TLR4 proteins in RAW 264.7 macrophages partially blocked
Mtb-induced NF-
B activation. Coexpression of both
dominant negative proteins blocked virtually all Mtb-induced NF-
B
activation. The role of the TLR4 coreceptor MD-2 was also examined.
Unlike LPS, Mtb-induced macrophage activation was not augmented by
overexpression of ectopic MD-2. Moreover, cells expressing an
LPS-unresponsive MD-2 mutant responded normally to Mtb. We also
observed that the lipid A-like antagonist E5531 specifically inhibited
TLR4-dependent Mtb-induced cellular responses. E5531 could
substantially block LPS- and Mtb-induced TNF-
production in both RAW
264.7 cells and primary human alveolar macrophages (AM
). E5531
inhibited Mtb-induced AM
apoptosis in vitro, an effect that was a
consequence of the inhibition of TNF-
production by E5531. In
contrast, E5531 did not inhibit Mtb-induced NO production in RAW 264.7
cells and AM
. Mtb-stimulated peritoneal macrophages from TLR2- and
TLR4-deficient animals produced similar amounts of NO compared with
control animals, demonstrating that these TLR proteins are not required
for Mtb-induced NO production. Lastly, we demonstrated that a dominant
negative MyD88 mutant could block Mtb-induced activation of the TNF-
promoter, but not the inducible NO synthase promoter, in murine
macrophages. Together, these data suggest that Mtb-induced TNF-
production is largely dependent on TLR signaling. In contrast,
Mtb-induced NO production may be either TLR independent or mediated by
TLR proteins in a MyD88-independent manner.
