1 Microbial Recognition and the Immune Response Dept. of Immunology University of Toronto 1 Outline of talk Introduction into innate immunity Function of TLRs and NLRs Role of NLRs in microbial detection Link between innate and adaptive immunity 2 Innate immunity Innate vs. adaptive immunity Adaptive immunity Conserved throughout evolution Evolved 500 million yrs ago? In all multicellular organisms Unique to vertebrates Organisms possess a set Infinite number of recognition number of recognition molecules molecules (antibodies) Cells are immediately active Cells require priming Has no memory Provides memory of infection 3 1

2 The discovery of the innate immune system Metchnikoff first described role of phagocytes in invertebrates (star fish) 4 How can our cells tell that something is foreign? Recognition of exogenous microbial products Recognition of endogenous danger signals Dr. Charles Janeway Dr. Polly Matzinger 5 Turns out they are both right! Innate immunity depends upon the recognition of: MAMPs (microbial-associated molecular patterns) Signatures of microbial infection - pieces of microbes DAMPs (danger-associated molecular patterns) Danger signals released from dead or dying cells 6 2

3 Overview of innate immunity Recognition of a: MAMP/DAMP (Danger signal) By a : PRM (Pattern recognition molecule) To induce: Signal transduction (Changes in gene expression) Destruction of microbes 7 What are MAMPs? Also known as PAMPs (pathogen-associated molecular patterns) Represent structural components of microorganisms unable to be modified d Include LPS, peptidoglycan, protein (flagellin) and nucleic acid 8 What are DAMPs? End or by-products of cell death or stress ATP, uric acid Xenogenous compounds Alum, silica, asbestos, amyloid fibers Common denominator of these factors: ROS, K+ efflux, lysosomal damage 9 3

4 MAMPs and DAMPs are the sensees, what are the sensors? PRM - pattern recognition molecules Soluble PRMs Collectins (e.g.: g: surfactant, mannose-binding lectin), Ficolins Cell signaling PRMS Toll-like receptors (TLR), Nod-like receptors (NLR), RIG-like helicase receptors (RLR), Dectin 10 Cell-signaling PRMs Membrane-associated TLR Cytoplasmic NLRs Membrane NLRs : Bruno Lemaitre and Jules Hoffmann: Drosophila use Toll to defend from infection with fungus Toll was first shown to be a protein involved in embryonic development Toll-deficient flies infected with Aspergillus fumigatus succumb to infection Flies use Toll to defend from fungi and also Gram + bacteria Lemaitre et al., Cell

5 Toll-like receptors - outside-in signalling Extracellular stimulation MAMP MAMP TLR3,7-9 TLR1,2,4-6 TLR1: BLP (with TLR2) TLR2: PGN, BLP, LTA TLR3: dsrna TLR4: LPS, taxol TLR5: Flagellin TLR6: BLP (With TLR2) TLR7: Anti-virals, ssrna TLR8: Anti-viral, ssrna TLR9: CpG DNA TLR10:? TLR11 (mouse): Toxoplasma NF-κB JNK Inflammation 13 Two distinct systems to detect microbialassociated molecular patterns? Intracellular Extracellular MAMP TLRs MAMP? NF-κB JNK Inflammation Clearance NF-κB JNK 14 Keeping peace with the intestine LPS Lack or low TLR expression Expression of TLR modulating proteins that interfere with signaling: MyD88s 15 5
