The Expression of Dectin-1, Irak1 and Rip2 During the Host Response to Aspergillus fumigatus.
Mycopathologia 2018 April
BACKGROUND: C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), Toll-like receptors (TLRs), and Nod-like receptors (NLRs) have the ability to recognize Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigates) and induce innate immune response. Dectin-1 is a well-described CLR, while interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (Irak1) and receptor-interacting protein 2 (Rip2) are pivotal adaptor proteins of TLRs and NLRs signaling pathways, respectively.
OBJECTIVES: Our primary aim is to elucidate whether Dectin-1 regulates the expression of Irak1 and Rip2, and confirm that CLRs, TLRs, and NLRs pathways act synergistically in response to A. fumigatus infection.
METHODS: Pulmonary infection mouse models were established. Myeloid cells were differentiated in cell culture and examined by inverted microscopy, flow cytometry, and scanning electron microscopy. The relative mRNA levels were determined by qRT-PCR. The protein expression levels were determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.
RESULTS: The expression of Dectin-1, Irak1, Rip2, and phosphorylation level of nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 were induced by conidia in immunocompetent mice, while their expression and phosphorylation level were inhibited in immunocompromised mice after the administration of conidia. Conidia increased the expression of Dectin-1, Irak1, and Rip2 in myeloid cells, while Dectin-1 silencing significantly reduced their expression.
CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate that Dectin-1, Irak1, and Rip2 are involved in response to A. fumigatus infection. Dectin-1 modulates the expression of Irak1 and Rip2. Additionally, these three signaling pathways are interconnected, and CLRs pathway plays a dominant role against A. fumigatus invasion.
