Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a central role in host responses to bacterial infection, but the precise mechanism(s) by which its downstream signaling components coordinate the bone marrow response to sepsis is poorly understood. Using mice deficient in TLR4 downstream adapters MYD88 or TRIF, we demonstrate that both cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous MYD88 activation are major causes of myelosuppression during sepsis, while having a modest impact on hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) functions. In contrast, cell-intrinsic TRIF activation severely compromises HSC self-renewal without directly affecting myeloid cells. Lipopolysaccharide-induced activation of MYD88 or TRIF contributes to cell-cycle activation of HSC and induces rapid and permanent changes in transcriptional programs, as indicated by persistent downregulation of Spi1 and CebpA expression after transplantation. Thus, distinct mechanisms downstream of TLR4 signaling mediate myelosuppression and HSC exhaustion during sepsis through unique effects of MyD88 and TRIF.

Structural basis for TIR domain-mediated innate immune signaling by Toll-like receptor adaptors TRIF and TRAM.

Innate immunity relies on Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns. The TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domain-containing TLR adaptors TRIF (TIR domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon-β) and TRAM (TRIF-related adaptor molecule) are essential for MyD88-independent TLR signaling. However, the structural basis of TRIF and TRAM TIR domain-based signaling remains unclear.

Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1), an intracellular antioxidant enzyme, has emerged as a regulator of inflammatory responses via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. Despite this, the mechanistic details of the PRDX1-TLR4 axis and its impact on osteoclast differentiation remain elusive. Here, we show that PRDX1 suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation.

NLRP3 inflammasome activation is a pivotal area of research in innate immunity, yet the precise priming and activation signal remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that glycolysis inhibitor 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) triggers NLRP3-driven pyroptosis in human leukemia monocyte THP-1 cells by interfering glycosylation rather than glycolysis, which occurs independent of potassium efflux but requires the involvement of glycolysis rate-limiting enzyme PFKP. Using a CRISPR-Cas9 mediated large-scale screen, with 2DG as a new tool for probing NLRP3 activation, we identified that TLR2, rather than TLR4, initiates a rapid and robust priming signal for NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how genetic variations in the TLR4 gene affect immune responses to pertussis toxin in different mouse strains (ICR, NIH, BALB/c).
- Researchers discovered three specific mutations in the TLR4 gene and noted how these variations influence cytokine production in response to stimulation.
- The findings aim to improve the consistency of vaccine evaluations across different mouse models, potentially enhancing vaccine development by standardizing immune response assessments.
Non-ionic surfactant vesicles exert anti-inflammatory effects through inhibition of NFκB.

Inflammation can be an unwanted consequence or cause of debilitating diseases of infectious and non-infectious aetiologies. Current anti-inflammatory medications have several deficiencies including lack of specificity and undesirable side effects. Herein, the potential of non-ionic surfactant vesicles (NISV) comprised of monopalmityol glycerol, dicetyl phosphate and cholesterol) as an anti-inflammatory drug and their mode of action is investigated.
