Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is involved in the innate immunity by
recognizing various bacterial components. We have previously reported
that TLR2 gene expression is rapidly induced by LPS or
inflammatory cytokines in macrophages, and by TCR engagement or
IL-2/IL-15 stimulation in T cells. Here, to investigate the mechanisms
governing TLR2 transcription, we cloned the 5' upstream region of the
mouse TLR2 (mTLR2) gene and mapped its
transcriptional start site. The 5' upstream region of the
mTLR2 gene contains two NF-
B, two CCAAT/enhancer binding
protein, one cAMP response element-binding protein, and one STAT
consensus sequences. In mouse macrophage cell lines, deletion of both
NF-
B sites caused the complete loss of mTLR2 promoter responsiveness
to TNF-
. NF-
B sites were also important but not absolutely
necessary for LPS-mediated mTLR2 promoter activation. In T cell lines,
mTLR2 responsiveness to IL-15 was abrogated by the 3' NF-
B mutation,
whereas 5' NF-
B showed no functional significance. The STAT binding
site also seemed to contribute, as the deletion of this sequence
significantly reduced the IL-15-mediated mTLR2 promoter activation.
EMSAs confirmed nuclear protein binding to both NF-
B sites in
macrophages following LPS and TNF-
stimulation and to the 3' NF-
B
site in T cells after IL-15 treatment. Thus, NF-
B activation is
important but differently involved in the regulation of
mTLR2 gene expression in macrophages and T cells following
LPS or cytokine stimulation.
