The collectin surfactant protein-A (SP-A) is involved in the
innate host defense and the regulation of inflammatory processes in the
lung. In this work we investigated the molecular mechanisms related to
the immunostimulatory activity of SP-A using macrophages from C3H/HeJ
mice, which carry an inactivating mutation in the Toll-like receptor
(TLR)4 gene, and TLR4-transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells. We
demonstrate that SP-A-induced activation of the NF-
B signaling
pathway and up-regulation of cytokine synthesis such as TNF-
and
IL-10 are critically dependent on the TLR4 functional complex. These
findings support the concept that TLR4 is a pattern recognition
receptor that signals in response to both foreign pathogens and
endogenous host mediators.
