Neither CD14 nor serum is absolutely necessary for activation of mononuclear phagocytes by bacterial lipopolysaccharide.

Abstract：

:The stimulation of mononuclear phagocytes by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is facilitated by the binding of complexes of LPS and LPS-binding protein to CD14. Although it is clear that CD14 is involved in LPS-induced signaling, other investigators have hypothesized the existence of additional signaling pathways in macrophages. We sought to determine whether CD14-independent pathways of monocyte activation might exist. Washed human mononuclear cells responded with reduced sensitivity to LPS in the absence of serum. Anti-CD14 monoclonal antibody (MAb) inhibited the response to LPS in serum-free conditions, but this was easily reversed at higher concentrations of LPS. We established a human monocytic cell line, designated SFM (derived from THP-1), in serum-free medium to examine LPS responses under defined conditions. Differentiation of SFM cells with 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol promoted the expression of abundant cell surface CD14. Differentiated SFM cells responded to LPS despite the complete absence of serum proteins for > 20 generations of growth. LPS stimulation of differentiated SFM cells was inhibited by anti-CD14 MAbs only when serum was present. In contrast to anti-CD14 MAb, the LPS antagonists lipid IVa and Rhodobacter sphaeroides lipid A inhibited monocyte activation under serum-free conditions, implying that these compounds compete with LPS at a site distinct from CD14. Undifferentiated SFM cells (expressing minimal CD14) still responded to LPS in serum-free conditions, and anti-CD14 MAb had little inhibitory effect. The addition of purified LPS-binding protein or human serum promoted a CD14-dependent pathway of monocyte activation by LPS in these cells. We conclude that monocytes do not absolutely require serum proteins to be stimulated by LPS and that CD14-independent LPS signaling pathways exist which are inhibitable by lipid IVa and R. sphaeroides lipid A.
