Aspergillus fumigatus causes
life-threatening infections in patients with qualitative and
quantitative defects in phagocytic function. Here, we examined the
contribution of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2, TLR4, the adapter protein
MyD88, and CD14 to signaling in response to the three forms of A. fumigatus encountered during human disease: resting conidia (RC),
swollen conidia (SC), and hyphae (H). Compared with elicited peritoneal
macrophages obtained from wild-type and heterozygous mice,
TLR2 / and MyD88 / macrophages produced
significantly less tumor necrosis factor- (TNF ) following
A. fumigatus stimulation. In contrast, following stimulation with RC, SC, and H, TLR4 / and
CD14 / macrophages exhibited no defects in tumor
necrosis factor- release. TLR2 / ,
TLR4 / , MyD88 / , and
CD14 / macrophages bound similar numbers of RC and SC
compared with wild-type macrophages. RC, SC, and H stimulated
greater activation of a nuclear factor B
(NF B)-dependent reporter gene and greater release of
tumor necrosis factor- from the human monocytic THP-1 cell
line stably transfected with CD14 compared with control cells stably
transfected with empty vector. A. fumigatus stimulated NF B-dependent reporter gene activity in the human
embryonic kidney cell line, HEK293, only if the cells were transfected
with TLR2. Moreover, activity increased when TLR2 and CD14 were
co-transfected. Taken together, these data suggest that optimal
signaling responses to A. fumigatus require TLR2 in both
mouse and human cells. In contrast, a role for CD14 was found only in
the human cells. MyD88 acts as a central adapter protein mediating
signaling responses following stimulation with RC, SC, and H.
