Lipoteichoic acid reduces antioxidant enzymes in H9c2 cells.

ABSTRACT: Infective endocarditis (IE) is an illness where the heart is invaded by bacteria, like Streptococcal and Staphylococcal species that contain lipoteichoic acid (LTA) related to an essential role in this disease. This study is the first in evaluating antioxidant enzyme levels in embryonic cardiomyocyte cell line (H9c2) induced by LTA from Streptococcus sanguinis. LTA increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced the levels of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-1 and catalase (CAT) but did not affect glutathione content. At the highest LTA concentration (15??g/ml), SOD-1 and CAT levels did not change, and this effect was related to the induction of mRNA levels of Nrf2 induced by LTA. These results suggest that low antioxidant enzyme levels and ROS production could be related to IE.

Project description:Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) is an important sensor for innate immune cells, including neutrophils, for the recognition of pathogen infection. Lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a cell wall component of gram-positive bacteria, is a TLR2 ligand. LTA-induced TLR2 signaling pathways are well established in neutrophils. However, experimental studies regarding transcriptional regulation and the molecular mechanisms in primary human neutrophils are limited due to their short lifespan. The promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60, can differentiate into a neutrophil-like phenotype following treatment with dimethyl sulfoxide. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether differentiated HL-60 (dHL-60) cells induced a similar gene expression profile upon LTA treatment as that previously determined for primary human neutrophils. After 4 or 24 h of Staphylococcus aureus LTA treatment, undifferentiated HL-60 (uHL-60) and dHL-60 cells were collected for RNA sequencing. The results demonstrated that hundreds of identical differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed in 1 and 10 µg/ml LTA-treated dHL-60 cells following 4 and 24 h of incubation, while almost no DEGs between LTA-treated HL-60 and dHL-60 cells were observed. Using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses (KEGG), it was noted that the pathways of shared DEGs between the 1 and 10 µg/ml LTA-treated dHL-60 cells at both time points were significantly enriched in immune and inflammatory response-related pathways, such as cellular response to tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1, interferon γ, neutrophil chemotaxis, the NF-κB signaling pathway and the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. In addition, when comparing the effect of 1 and 10 µg/ml LTA treatment on dHL60 cells, it was found that all enriched GO and KEGG pathways were associated with the TLR signaling pathways of neutrophils. The results of the present study provided important information for the implementation of mRNA profiling in LTA-treated dHL-60 cells and may indicate the feasibility of using dHL-60 cells as a research model for TLR2 signaling in human neutrophils.
