Tlr3 Signaling

Background/Aims: Dysregulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in residual renal cells may play a pivotal role in the development of glomerulonephritis (GN). Given that Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of some forms of GN, we examined activated TLR3-mediated IL-6 signaling in cultured normal human glomerular endothelial cells (GECs). Methods: We treated GECs with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly IC), an authentic double-stranded RNA, and analyzed the expression of IL-6 and the cytosolic viral RNA sensors retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation associated gene 5 (MDA5) using reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. To further elucidate the effects of poly IC on this signaling pathway, we subjected the cells to small interfering RNA (siRNA) against TLR3, interferon (IFN)-β, RIG-I, and MDA5. Results: We found that poly IC induced the expression of RIG-I, MDA5 and IL-6 via TLR3/IFN-β signaling in GECs. siRNA experiments revealed that both MDA5 and RIG-I were involved in the poly IC-induced expression of IL-6, with MDA5 being upstream of RIG-I. Conclusion: Interestingly, cytosolic sensors of viral RNA were found to be involved in IL-6 production via TLR3 signaling in GECs. Regional activation of TLR3/IFN-β/ MDA5/RIG-I/IL-6 axis due to viral and “pseudoviral” infections is involved in innate immunity and inflammatory reactions in GECs. We believe this signaling pathway also plays a pivotal role in the development of some forms of GN.

Introduction: Various viruses including a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) can infect the kidney. When viruses invade the glomeruli from the bloodstream, glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) initiate the innate immune reactions. We investigated the expression of interferon (IFN)-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFIT) 1/2/3, antiviral molecules, in human GECs treated with a toll-like receptor (TLR) 3 agonist. Role of IFIT1/2/3 in the expression of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) was also examined. Methods: Human GECs were cultured and stimulated with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly IC), a synthetic TLR3 agonist. Real-time qPCR, Western blotting, and ELISA were used to examine the expression of IFIT1/2/3, IFN-β, and CXCL10. RNA interference against IFN-β or IFIT1/2/3 was also performed. Results: Expression of IFIT1/2/3 and CXCL10 was induced by poly IC in GECs. The inductions were inhibited by RNA interfering of IFN-β. Knockdown of IFIT1/2/3 decreased the CXCL10 expression. Knockdown of IFIT3 decreased the expression of IFIT1 and IFIT2 proteins. Conclusion: IFIT1/2/3 and CXCL10 were induced by poly IC via IFN-β in GECs. IFIT1/2/3 may increase the expression of CXCL10 which induces lymphocyte chemotaxis and may inhibit the replication of infected viruses. These molecules may play a role in GEC innate immune reactions in response to viruses.
