Abstract
-
Mycobacterium chelonae (Mch) is an atypical rapidly growing
mycobacterium (RGM) that belongs to the M. chelonae
complex, which can cause a variety of human infections.
During this type of mycobacterial infection, macrophagederived
chemokines play an important role in the mediation
of intracellular communication and immune surveillance
by which they orchestrate cellular immunity. However,
the intracellular signaling pathways involved in the macrophage-
induced chemokine production during Mch infections
remain unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to
determine the molecular mechanisms by which Mch activates
the gene expressions of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand
2 (CCL2) and CCL5 in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages
(BMDMs) and in vivo mouse model. Toll-like receptor
2 (TLR2)-deficient mice showed increased bacterial
burden in spleen and lung and decreased protein expression
of CCL2 and CCL5 in serum. Additionally, Mch infection
triggered the mRNA and protein expression of CCL2 and
CCL5 in BMDMs via TLR2 and myeloid differentiation
primary response gene 88 (MyD88) signaling and that it
rapidly activated nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling, which is
required for the Mch-induced expressions of CCL2 and
CCL5 in BMDMs. Moreover, while the innate receptor
Dectin-1 was only partly involved in the Mch-induced expression
of the CCL2 and CCL5 chemokines in BMDMs,
the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)
was an important contributor to these processes. Taken together,
the present data indicate that the TLR2, MyD88,
and NF-κB pathways, Dectin-1 signaling, and intracellular
ROS generation contribute to the Mch-mediated expression
of chemokine genes in BMDMs.
