Abstract

Bacterial flagellin can interact with both Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) and the cell surface glycolipid, asialoGM1, to activate an innate immune response. The induction of mucin by flagellin in human lung epithelial cells (NCIH292) is dependent on asialoGM1 ligation, ATP receptor signaling, Ca²⁺ mobilization, and Erk1/2 activation. Conversely, the activation of NF-B by flagellin is dependent on signaling through TLR5. These results prompted us to ask whether the flagellin-induced TLR5 signaling pathway was intersecting with or mutually independent of the nucleotide receptor pathway activated downstream of asialoGM1. Herein, we demonstrate that the release of ATP induced by flagellin is dependent on a Toll signaling cascade. Although Toll was able to activate NF-B in the absence of extracellular ATP, Toll required ATP to activate Erk1/2. These results suggest interdependence between the asialoGM1 and TLR5 pathways and reveal a previously unsuspected role for autocrine extracellular ATP signaling in TLR signaling.

Key Words: flagellin • ATP • Erk1/2 • TLR5
