PG - 104360 LID - S0882-4010(20)30726-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.micpath.2020.104360 [doi] AB - Lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a cell wall component of gram-positive bacteria, up-regulates inflammatory cytokine production through the toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling pathway, and also contributes to anti-inflammatory responses against immune cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharides. In the current study, we examined the effects of LTAs isolated from Staphylococcus aureus (aLTA) and Lactobacillus plantarum (pLTA) on the aggravation and alleviation of atopic dermatitis (AD). aLTA strongly induced CCL2 production in THP-1 cells. CCL2 was regulated by the TLR2 pathway including the activation of IRAK2, NF-kappaB and JNK. CCL2 induced Th2 polarization of CD4+T cells through induction of interleukin (IL)-2, -4, and -5 and inhibition of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). CCL2 levels and immunoglobulin E (IgE) production were increased in aLTA-injected mice. On the other hand, pLTA moderately affected CCL2 production and it inhibited aLTA-mediated CCL2 production. The serum levels of CCL2 and IgE were inhibited by pLTA pre-injection followed by aLTA reinjection, which resulted in the alleviation of irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) symptoms. Our results suggest that S. aureus infection causes an increase in CCL2 production, and may exacerbate atopic dermatitis (AD)-like symptoms through the excessive IgE production. Alternatively, pLTA alleviated AD-like symptoms by inhibiting aLTA-induced CCL2 and IgE production. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
