Résumé
Introduction: Systemic inflammation in sepsis is initiated by interactions between pathogen molecular motifs and specific host receptors, especially toll-like receptors (TLRs). Flagellin is the main flagellar protein of motile microorganisms and is the ligand of TLR5. The distribution of TLR5 and the actions of flagellin at the systemic level have not been established. Therefore, we determined TLR5 expression and the ability of flagellin to trigger prototypical innate immune responses and apoptosis in major organs from mice. Methods: Male Balb/C mice (n = 80) were injected intravenously with 1-5 mu g recombinant Salmonella flagellin. Plasma and organ samples were obtained after 0.5 to 6 h, for molecular investigations. The expression of TLR5, the activation state of nuclear factor kappa B (NF kappa B) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) [extracellular related kinase (ERK) and c-jun-NH2 terminal kinase (JNK)], the production of cytokines [tumor necrosis alpha (TNF alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), macrophage inhibitory protein-2 (MIP-2) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1)], and the apoptotic cleavage of caspase-3 and its substrate Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) were determined in lung, liver, gut and kidney at different time-points. The time-course of plasma cytokines was evaluated up to 6 h after flagellin. Results: TLR5 mRNA and protein were constitutively expressed in all organs. In these organs, flagellin elicited a robust activation of NF kappa B and MAPKs, and induced significant production of the different cytokines evaluated, with slight interorgan variations. Plasma TNF alpha, IL-6 and MIP-2 disclosed a transient peak, whereas IL-1 beta and soluble TREM-1 steadily increased over 6 h. Flagellin also triggered a marked cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP in the intestine, pointing to its ability to promote significant apoptosis in this organ. Conclusions: Bacterial flagellin elicits prototypical innate immune responses in mice, leading to the release of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines in the lung, small intestine, liver and kidney, and also activates apoptotic signalling in the gut. Therefore, this bacterial protein may represent a critical mediator of systemic inflammation and intestinal barrier failure in sepsis due to flagellated micro-organisms
