PG - 1006-1015 LID - 10.1093/glycob/cwx075 [doi] AB - Core fucosylation, a posttranslational modification of N-glycans, modifies several growth factor receptors and impacts on their ligand binding affinity. Core-fucose-deficient mice generated by ablating the alpha1,6 fucosyltransferase enzyme, Fut8, exhibit severe pulmonary emphysema, partly due to impaired macrophage function, similar to aged Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4)-deficient mice. We therefore suspect that a lack of core fucose affects the TLR4-dependent signaling pathway. Indeed, upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation, Fut8-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) produced similar levels of interleukin-6 but markedly reduced levels of interferon-beta (IFN-beta) compared with wild-type MEFs. Lectin blot analysis of the TLR4 signaling complex revealed that core fucosylation was specifically found on CD14. Even though similar levels of TLR4/myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD2) activation and dimerization were observed in Fut8-deficient cells after lipopolysaccharide stimulation, internalization of TLR4 and CD14 was significantly impaired. Given that internalized TLR4/MD2 induces IFN-beta production, impaired IFN-beta production in Fut8-deficient cells is ascribed to impaired TLR4/MD2 internalization. These data show for the first time that glycosylation critically regulates TLR4 signaling. CI - (c) The Author 2017. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
