The Toll-like Receptor Protein Rp105 Regulates Lipopolysaccharide Signaling in B Cells

Abstract: The susceptibility to infections induced by Gram-negative bacteria is largely determined by innate immune responses to bacteria cell wall lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The stimulation of B cells by LPS enhances their antigen-presenting capacity and is accompanied by B cell proliferation and secretion of large quantities of LPS-neutralizing antibodies. Similar to macrophages and neutrophils, the LPS-induced activation of B cells is dependent on Toll-like receptor (TLR)4. Here, we demonstrate that the responses of B… Show more

“…In contrast, they found normal levels of surface expression of Rp105, an orphan Toll-like receptor, but cross-linking failed to induce B cell proliferation even though 129/Sv B cells proliferated in response to LPS (50). These findings are in apparent contradiction with recent data demonstrating reduced LPS-mediated proliferation of B cells in mice lacking Rp105 (51). Perhaps, Corcoran and Metcalf's (50) data is a reflection of a polymorphism in 129-derived Rp105 that renders the stimulating Ab ineffective in this strain.…”

“…Shown are mean Ϯ SEM (ng/ml) of the IL-8 concentration in three transfected wells. recent study of RP105, a transmembrane molecule with extracellular domain similarity to TLRs (42), demonstrated functional cooperation between RP105 and TLR4 on cotransfection of these molecules into Ba/F3 cells. Thus, comparison with closely related receptor systems suggests that TLR1-TLR2 heterodimerization is the most likely explanation for the phenomenon described here, although we do not show whether this occurs directly or indirectly.…”
