A Mycoplasma fermentans-derived Synthetic Lipopeptide Induces AP-1 and NF-kappa B Activity and Cytokine Secretion in Macrophages via the Activation of Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Pathways

From the § Institut Pasteur, Laboratoire des Mycoplasmes, 25 Rue Docteur Roux, 75724 Paris Cedex 15, France, Dagger  Université Paris VII, UFR de Biochimie, 2 place Jussieu, 75251 Paris Cedex 05, France, and  Hoechst-Marion-Roussel, Centre de Recherche Romainville, 111 Route de Noisy, 93230 Romainville, France

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-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha 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-kappa B and AP-1 transactivation in macrophages. Whereas the specific p38 inhibitor SB203580 abrogated both cytokine synthesis and NF-kappa B and AP-1 transactivation in response to MALP-2, the selective MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 inhibitor PD-98059 decreased interleukin-1beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in response to sMALP-2 without affecting the transactivation of NF-kappa 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.
