| Abstract | Flagellin from various species of gram-negative bacteria activates monocytes to produce proinflammatory cytokines. We have analyzed the pathway by which Salmonella enteritidis flagellin (FliC) activates murine and human monocyte/macrophage-like cell lines. Since lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the principal immune stimulatory component of gram-negative bacteria, is known to signal through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), we tested the possibility that FliC also signals via TLR4. When murine HeNC2 cells were stimulated with LPS in the presence of a neutralizing anti-TLR4 monoclonal antibody, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and nitric oxide (NO) production were markedly reduced. In contrast, FliC-mediated TNF-α and NO production were minimally affected by the anti-TLR4 antibody. Furthermore, FliC, unlike LPS, stimulated TNF-α production in the TLR4 mutant cell line, GG2EE, indicating that TLR4 is not essential for FliC-mediated signaling. To test the possibility that FliC signals via another TLR, we measured FliC-mediated activation of interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor-associated kinase (IRAK), a central component in IL-1R/TLR signaling. FliC induced IRAK activation in HeNC2 and GG2EE cells as well as in the human promonocytic cell line THP-1. IRAK activation was rapid in HeNC2 cells, with maximal activity observed after 5 min of treatment with FliC. In addition, FliC-mediated IRAK activation exhibited the same concentration dependence as was demonstrated for the induction of TNF-α. These results represent the first demonstration of IRAK activation by a purified bacterial protein and strongly suggest that a TLR distinct from TLR4 is involved in the macrophage inflammatory response to FliC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
