Role of TLRs in EGFR-mediated IL-8 secretion by enteroaggregative Escherichia coli-infected cultured human intestinal epithelial cells.
Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling 2023 June 23
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is an emerging enteric pathogen associated with persistent diarrhea in travelers, immunocompromised patients and children worldwide. However, the pathogenesis of this organism is yet to be established. In this study, the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) was evaluated in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated IL-8 secretion by EAEC-infected human small intestinal and colonic epithelial cells (INT-407 and HCT-15, respectively). We observed that EAEC-induced upregulation of TLR2, TLR4 and TLR5 transcripts in both types of cells, and the maximum level of these transcripts was seen in cells infected with EAEC-T8 (an invasive clinical isolate). All these TLRs made a significant contribution to the EAEC-T8-mediated EGFR activation in these cells. Furthermore, these TLRs were found to be associated with activation of the downstream effectors (ERK-1/2, PI3 kinase and Akt) and transcription factors (NF-κB, c-Jun, c-Fos and STAT-3) of EGFR-mediated signal transduction pathways. Moreover, the involvement of these TLRs was also noted in IL-8 secretion by both EAEC-T8-infected cell types. Our findings suggest that EAEC-induced upregulation of TLR2, TLR4 and TLR5 is important for the IL-8 response via EGFR-mediated signal transduction pathways in these cells.
