Autotaxin loss accelerates intestinal inflammation by suppressing TLR4-mediated immune responses


ABSTRACT: Autotaxin (ATX) converts lysophosphatidylcholine and sphingosyl-phosphorylcholine into lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1-phosphate, respectively. Despite the pivotal function of ATX in lipid metabolism, mechanisms by which ATX regulates immune and inflammatory disorders remain elusive. Here, using myeloid cell lineage-restricted Atx knockout mice, we show that Atx deficiency disrupts membrane microdomains and lipid rafts, resulting in the inhibition of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) complex formation and the suppression of adaptor recruitment, thereby inhibiting TLR4-mediated responses in macrophages. Accordingly, TLR4-induced innate immune functions, including phagocytosis and iNOS expression, are attenuated in Atx-deficient macrophages. Consequently, Atx-/- mice exhibit a higher bacterial prevalence in the intestinal mucosa compared to controls. When combined with global Il10-/- mice, which show spontaneous colitis due to the translocation of luminal commensal microbes into the mucosa, myeloid cell lineage-restricted Atx knockout accelerates colitis development compared to control littermates. Collectively, our data reveal that Atx deficiency compromises innate immune responses, thereby promoting microbe-associated gut inflammation.
