Scientific Report WDFY1 mediates TLR3/4 signaling by recruiting TRIF

چکیده
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors that sense a variety of pathogens, initiate innate immune responses, and direct adaptive immunity. All TLRs except TLR3 recruit the adaptor MyD88 to ultimately elicit inflammatory gene expression, whereas TLR3 and internalized TLR4 use TIR-domain-containing adaptor TRIF for the induction of type I interferon and inflammatory cytokines. Here, we identify the WD repeat and FYVE-domaincontaining protein WDFY1 as a crucial adaptor protein in the TLR3/4 signaling pathway. Overexpression of WDFY1 potentiates TLR3and TLR4-mediated activation of NF-jB, interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), and production of type I interferons and inflammatory cytokines. WDFY1 depletion has the opposite effect. WDFY1 interacts with TLR3 and TLR4 and mediates the recruitment of TRIF to these receptors. Our findings suggest a crucial role for WDFY1 in bridging the TLR–TRIF interaction, which is necessary for TLR signaling.

متن کاملCatching the adaptor-WDFY1, a new player in the TLR-TRIF pathway.
The innate immune system detects microbes and abnormal self through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which detect molecules that are either specific for microbes (such as lipopolysaccharide), present in much higher concentrations during infection (such as double-stranded RNA), or present in aberrant locations (such as cytosolic DNA) [1]. The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the best-describe...
متن کاملTRIM32-TAX1BP1-dependent selective autophagic degradation of TRIF negatively regulates TLR3/4-mediated innate immune responses
Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated signaling are critical for host defense against pathogen invasion. However, excessive responses would cause harmful damages to the host. Here we show that deficiency of the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM32 increases poly(I:C)- and LPS-induced transcription of downstream genes such as type I interferons (IFNs) and proinflammatory cytokines in both primary mouse immune...
متن کاملTRIF signaling stimulates translation of TNF-alpha mRNA via prolonged activation of MK2.
The adapter protein TRIF mediates signal transduction through TLR3 and TLR4, inducing production of type I IFNs and inflammatory cytokines. The present study investigates the mechanisms by which TRIF signaling controls TNF-alpha biosynthesis. We provide evidence that, in LPS-stimulated murine dendritic cells, TRIF stimulates TNF-alpha biosynthesis selectively at the posttranscriptional level by...
متن کاملRole of Extracellular RNA and TLR3‐Trif Signaling in Myocardial Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury
BACKGROUND Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) was originally identified as the receptor for viral RNA and represents a major host antiviral defense mechanism. TLR3 may also recognize extracellular RNA (exRNA) released from injured tissues under certain stress conditions. However, a role for exRNA and TLR3 in the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemic injury has not been tested. This study examined the ro...
