Mycoplasma lipoproteins have been demonstrated to
stimulate monocytic cells and induce proinflammatory cytokine
secretion. In this paper, we show that a synthetic analog of the
Mycoplasma fermentans membrane-associated lipopeptide
macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2 (MALP-2) induces mRNA synthesis
and protein secretion of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-
in human monocytes/macrophages and the murine macrophage cell line RAW
264.7, whereas the nonlipidated counterpart lacks this effect,
underscoring the importance of protein acylation for cell activation.
Synthetic MALP-2 (sMALP-2) induced the activation of MAPK family
members extracellular signal regulated kinases 1 and 2, c-Jun
NH2-terminal kinase, and p38 and induced NF- B and AP-1
transactivation in macrophages. Whereas the specific p38 inhibitor
SB203580 abrogated both cytokine synthesis and NF- B and AP-1
transactivation in response to MALP-2, the selective MAPK/extracellular
signal-regulated kinase-1 inhibitor PD-98059 decreased interleukin-1
and tumor necrosis factor- production in response to sMALP-2 without
affecting the transactivation of NF- B or AP-1. These results
indicate that activation of MAPKs by sMALP-2 is a crucial event leading
to the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Our findings
demonstrate that the synthetic analog of MALP-2 reproduces the
macrophage stimulation activity found in different fractions of
mycoplasmas. Given that MALP-2 has been recently shown to be expressed
at the surface of M. fermentans as a molecular entity,
sMALP-2 constitutes a valuable surrogate for investigating
immunomodulation by these microorganisms and evaluating the role that
this activity plays in the development of inflammatory diseases
associated with mycoplasma infections.
