Leishmania infection of macrophages results in altered Ras isoforms expression and Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) expression and functions. Therefore, we examined whether TLR2 would selectively alter Ras isoforms' expression in macrophages. We observed that TLR2 ligands- Pam3CSK4, peptidoglycan (PGN), and FSL- selectively modulated the expression of Ras isoforms in BALB/c-derived elicited macrophages. Lentivirally-expressed TLR1-shRNA significantly reversed this Ras isoforms expression profile. TLR2-deficient L. major-infected macrophages and the lymph node cells from the L. major-infected mice showed similarly reversed Ras isoforms expression. Transfection of the macrophages with the siRNAs for the adaptors- Myeloid Differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and Toll-Interleukin-1 Receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor protein (TIRAP)- or Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinases (IRAKs)- IRAK1 and IRAK4- significantly inhibited the L. major-induced down-regulation of K-Ras, and up-regulation of N-Ras and H-Ras, expression. The TLR1/TLR2-ligand Pam3CSK4 increased IL-10 and TGF-β expression in macrophages. Pam3CSK4 upregulated N-Ras and H-Ras, but down-regulated K-Ras, expression in C57BL/6 wild-type, but not in IL-10-deficient, macrophages. IL-10 or TGF-β signaling inhibition selectively regulated Ras isoforms expression. These observations indicate the specificity of the TLR2 regulation of Ras isoforms and their selective modulation by MyD88, TIRAP, and IRAKs, but not IL-10 or TGF-β, signaling.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D010457 Peptidoglycan A structural polymer of the bacterial cell envelope consisting of sugars and amino acids which is responsible for both shape determination and cellular integrity under osmotic stress in virtually all bacteria. Murein,Pseudomurein
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D015536 Down-Regulation A negative regulatory effect on physiological processes at the molecular, cellular, or systemic level. At the molecular level, the major regulatory sites include membrane receptors, genes (GENE EXPRESSION REGULATION), mRNAs (RNA, MESSENGER), and proteins.

D016773 Leishmaniasis, Cutaneous An endemic disease that is characterized by the development of single or multiple localized lesions on exposed areas of skin that typically ulcerate. The disease has been divided into Old and New World forms. Old World leishmaniasis is separated into three distinct types according to epidemiology and clinical manifestations and is caused by species of the L. tropica and L. aethiopica complexes as well as by species of the L. major genus. New World leishmaniasis, also called American leishmaniasis, occurs in South and Central America and is caused by species of the L. mexicana or L. braziliensis complexes.
