Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a pivotal intracellular second messenger and calmodulin (CaM) acts as a multifunctional Ca2+-binding protein that regulates downstream Ca2+ dependent signaling. Together they play an important role in regulating various cellular functions, including gene expression, maturation of phagolysosome, apoptosis, and immune response. Intracellular Ca2+ has been shown to play a critical role in Toll-like receptor-mediated immune response to microbial agonists in the HD11 chicken macrophage cell line. The role of that the Ca2+/CaM pathway plays in the intracellular survival of Salmonella in chicken macrophages has not been reported. In this study, kinome peptide array analysis indicated that the Ca2+/CaM pathway was significantly activated when chicken macrophage HD11 cells were infected with S. Enteritidis or S. Heidelberg. Further study demonstrated that treating cells with a pharmaceutical CaM inhibitor W-7, which disrupts the formation of Ca2+/CaM, significantly inhibited macrophages to produce nitric oxide and weaken the control of intracellular Salmonella replication. These results strongly indicate that CaM plays an important role in the innate immune response of chicken macrophages and that the Ca2+/CaM mediated signaling pathway is critically involved in the host cell response to Salmonella infection.

Biochemical characterization of the tomato phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) family and its role in plant immunity. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2016; 1861:1365-1378.

Abstract
Plants possess effective mechanisms to quickly respond to biotic and abiotic stresses. The rapid activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes occurs early after the stimulation of plant immune-receptors. Genomes of different plant species encode multiple PLC homologs belonging to one class, PLCζ. Here we determined whether all tomato homologs encode active enzymes and whether they can generate signals that are distinct from one another. We searched the recently completed tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) genome sequence and identified a total of seven PLCs. Recombinant proteins were produced for all tomato PLCs, except for SlPLC7. The purified proteins showed typical PLC activity, as different PLC substrates were hydrolysed to produce diacylglycerol. We studied SlPLC2, SlPLC4 and SlPLC5 enzymes in more detail and observed distinct requirements for Ca(2+) ions and pH, for both their optimum activity and substrate preference. This indicates that each enzyme could be differentially and specifically regulated in vivo, leading to the generation of PLC homolog-specific signals in response to different stimuli. PLC overexpression and specific inhibition of PLC activity revealed that PLC is required for both specific effector- and more general "pattern"-triggered immunity. For the latter, we found that both the flagellin-triggered response and the internalization of the corresponding receptor, Flagellin Sensing 2 (FLS2) of Arabidopsis thaliana, are suppressed by inhibition of PLC activity. Altogether, our data support an important role for PLC enzymes in plant defence signalling downstream of immune receptors. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Plant Lipid Biology edited by Kent D. Chapman and Ivo Feussner.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription complex that plays a pivotal role in cellular adaptation to hypoxic conditions. The role of this factor in inflammatory reactions associated with infections and allergies has recently become evident. In this review we summarize our current knowledge concerning the accumulation and role of HIF-1 in Toll-like receptor-mediated and allergic inflammation. The differential molecular mechanisms used to stabilize this protein in various settings and its ability to support both proinflammatory and angiogenic responses suggest important functional roles in both innate immune responses and allergies. Importantly, the HIF-1 transcription complex is activated in human basophils during IgE-mediated inflammatory responses. It is involved in VEGF expression and subsequent promotion of angiogenesis and in controlling energy metabolism.

Abstract
Background NLRC5 is a member of the CARD domain containing, nucleotide-binding oligomerization (NOD)-like receptor (NLR) family, which recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and initiates an innate immune response leading to inflammation and/or cell death. However, the specific role of NLRC5 as a modulator of the inflammatory immune response remains controversial. It has been reported to be a mediator of type I IFNs, NF-kB, and MHC class I gene. But no study on NLRC5 function has been reported to date in chickens. In the current study, we investigated the role of NLRC5 in the regulation of IFNA, IFNB, IL-6, and MHC class I in the chicken HD11 macrophage cell line, by using RNAi technology. HD11 cells were transfected with one of five siRNAs (s1, s2, s3, negative-siRNA, or a mixture of s1, s2, s3-siRNAs). After 24 hours, cells were exposed to LPS or poly (I:C) or a vehicle control. Gene expression of NLRC5, IFNA, IFNB, IL-6, and MHC class I at 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours post stimulation (hps) was quantified by qPCR. Results The expression of NLRC5, IFNA, IFNB, and IL-6 genes in negative irrelevant transfection controls was up-regulated at 2 hps after LPS treatment compared to the vehicle controls. S3-siRNA effectively knocked down NLRC5 expression at 4 hps, and the expression of IFNA and IFNB (but not IL-6 and MHC class I) was also down-regulated at 4 hps in s3-siRNA transfected cells, compared to negative irrelevant transfection controls. Stimulation by LPS appeared to relatively restore the decrease in NLRC5, IFNA, and IFNB expression, but the difference is not significant. Conclusions Functional characterization of chicken NLRC5 in an in vitro system demonstrated its importance in regulating intracellular molecules involved in inflammatory response. The knockdown of NLRC5 expression negatively mediates gene expression of IFNA and IFNB in the chicken HD11 cell line; therefore, NLRC5 likely has a role in positive regulation of IFNA and IFNB expression. No direct relationship was found between NLRC5 knockdown and IL-6 and MHC class I expression. Future studies will further clarify the roles of NLRC5 and other NLRs in infectious diseases of chickens and may increase the efficacy of antiviral vaccine design.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) is a major food-borne pathogen. From a transposon insertion mutant library created previously using S. Enteritidis 10/02, one of the mutants was identified to have a 50% lethal dose (LD(50) ) at least 100 times that of the parental strain in young chicks, with an attenuation in a poorly studied gene encoding a component of pyruvate dehydrogenase, namely the aceE gene. Evaluation of the in vitro virulence characteristics of the ΔaceE∷kan mutant revealed that it was less able to invade epithelial cells, less resistant to reactive oxygen intermediate, less able to survive within a chicken macrophage cell line and had a retarded growth rate compared with the parental strain. Young chicks vaccinated with 2 × 10(9) CFU of the ΔaceE∷kan mutant were protected from the subsequent challenge of the parental strain, with the mutant colonized in the liver and spleen in a shorter time than the group infected with the parental strain. In addition, compared with the parental strain, the ΔaceE∷kan mutant did not cause persistent eggshell contamination of vaccinated hens.

Abstract
Chickens possess toll-like receptor (TLR15), a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) absent in mammals. We characterized the regulation and mechanism of CpG responsiveness via TLRs in chicken macrophage HD11 cells. TLR15 was significantly upregulated after induction with B- and C-type CpG oligonucleotides (ODN), tripalmitoylated lipopeptide (PAM3CSK4), Escherichia coli- and Salmonella enteritidis-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In response to CpG-ODN inhibitor, TLR15 and IL1B were downregulated, but TLR21 was upregulated. IL1B was upregulated with CpG-ODN and downregulated after inhibitor treatment. The results suggest that responsiveness to different types of CpG-ODN in chicken macrophages requires multiple receptors, each with unique variation in expression. We utilized RNA interference (RNAi) technology to examine myeloid differentiation primary response gene (MyD88) dependency of TLR15 and TLR21. HD11 macrophages transfected with multiple MyD88-target siRNAs exhibited 70% decrease in MyD88 mRNA expression. IL1B was upregulated with CpG induction in cells with no reduction of MyD88 mRNA levels, but not in cells with 70% MyD88 reduction. Therefore, induction through TLR15 in response to CpG-ODN operates via the MyD88-dependent pathway in chicken macrophages.

Abstract
Background Macrophages play essential roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Bacteria require endotoxin, a complex lipopolysaccharide, for outer membrane permeability and the host interprets endotoxin as a signal to initiate an innate immune response. The focus of this study is kinetic and global transcriptional analysis of the chicken macrophage response to in vitro stimulation with endotoxin from Salmonella typhimurium-798. Results The 38535-probeset Affymetrix GeneChip Chicken Genome array was used to profile transcriptional response to endotoxin 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours post stimulation (hps). Using a maximum FDR (False Discovery Rate) of 0.05 to declare genes as differentially expressed (DE), we found 13, 33, 1761 and 61 DE genes between endotoxin-stimulated versus non-stimulated cells at 1, 2, 4 and 8 hps, respectively. QPCR demonstrated that endotoxin exposure significantly affected the mRNA expression of IL1B, IL6, IL8, and TLR15, but not IL10 and IFNG in HD 11 cells. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis showed that 10% of the total DE genes were involved in inflammatory response. Three, 9.7, 96.8, and 11.8% of the total DE inflammatory response genes were significantly differentially expressed with endotoxin stimulation at 1, 2, 4 and 8 hps, respectively. The NFKBIA, IL1B, IL8 and CCL4 genes were consistently induced at all times after endotoxin treatment. NLRC5 (CARD domain containing, NOD-like receptor family, RCJMB04_18i2), an intracellular receptor, was induced in HD11 cells treated with endotoxin. Conclusions As above using an in vitro model of chicken response to endotoxin, our data revealed the kinetics of gene networks involved in host response to endotoxin and extend the known complexity of networks in chicken immune response to Gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella. The induction of NFKBIA, IL1B, IL8, CCL4 genes is a consistent signature of host response to endotoxin over time. We make the first report of induction of a NOD-like receptor family member in response to Salmonella endotoxin in chicken macrophages.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium are the leading causative agents of salmonellosis in the United States. S. Enteritidis is predominantly associated with contamination of shell eggs and egg products, whereas S. Typhimurium is frequently linked to tainted poultry meats, fresh produce, and recently, peanut-based products. Chlorine is an oxidative disinfectant commonly used in the food industry to sanitize the surfaces of foods and food processing facilities (e.g., shell eggs and poultry meats). However, chlorine disinfection is not always effective, as some S. enterica strains may resist and survive the disinfection process. To date, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of how S. enterica responds to chlorine-based oxidative stress. In this study, we designed a custom bigenome microarray that consists of 385,000 60-mer oligonucleotide probes and targets 4,793 unique gene features in the genomes of S. Enteritidis strain PT4 and S. Typhimurium strain LT2. We explored the transcriptomic responses of both strains to two different chlorine treatments (130 ppm of chlorine for 30 min and 390 ppm of chlorine for 10 min) in brain heart infusion broth. We identified 209 S. enterica core genes associated with Fe-S cluster assembly, cysteine biosynthesis, stress response, ribosome formation, biofilm formation, and energy metabolism that were differentially expressed (>1.5-fold; P < 0.05). In addition, we found that serovars Enteriditis and Typhimurium differed in the responses of 33 stress-related genes and 19 virulence-associated genes to the chlorine stress. Findings from this study suggest that the oxidative-stress response may render S. enterica resistant or susceptible to certain types of environmental stresses, which in turn promotes the development of more effective hurdle interventions to reduce the risk of S. enterica contamination in the food supply.

Abstract
The potential for investigating immune gene diversity has been greatly enhanced by recent advances in sequencing power. In this study, variation at two categories of avian immune genes with differing functional roles, pathogen detection and mediation of immune mechanisms, was examined using high-throughput sequencing. TLRs identify and alert the immune system by detecting molecular motifs that are conserved among pathogenic microorganisms, whereas cytokines act as mediators of resulting inflammation and immunity. Nine genes from each class were resequenced in a panel of domestic chickens and wild jungle fowl (JF). Tests on population-wide genetic variation between the gene classes indicated that allele frequency spectra at each group were distinctive. TLRs showed evidence pointing toward directional selection, whereas cytokines had signals more suggestive of frequency-dependent selection. This difference persisted between the distributions considering only coding sites, suggesting functional relevance. The unique patterns of variation at each gene class may be constrained by their different functional roles in the immune response. TLRs identify a relatively limited number of exogeneous pathogenic-related patterns and would be required to adapt quickly in response to evolving novel microbes encountered in new environmental niches. In contrast, cytokines interact with many molecules in mediating the power of immune mechanisms, and accordingly respond to the selective stimuli of many infectious diseases. Analyses also indicated that a general pattern of high variability has been enhanced by widespread genetic exchange between chicken and red JF, and possibly between chicken and gray JF at TLR1LA and TLR2A.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the role of phospholipase D2 (PLD2) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. LPS enhanced NO synthesis and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in macrophage cell line, Raw 264.7 cells. When Raw 264.7 cells were stimulated with LPS, the expressions of PLDs were increased. Thus, to investigate the role of PLD in NO synthesis, we transfected PLD1, PLD2, and their dominant negative forms to Raw 264.7 cells, respectively. Interestingly, only PLD2 overexpression, but not that of PLD1, increased NO synthesis and iNOS expression. Moreover, LPS-induced NO synthesis and iNOS expression were blocked by PLD2 siRNA, suggesting that LPS upregulates NO synthesis through PLD2. Next, we investigated the S6K1-p42/44 MAPK-STAT3 signaling pathway in LPS-induced NO synthesis mechanism. Knockdown of PLD2 with siRNA also decreased phosphorylation of S6K1, p42/44 MAPK and STAT3 induced by LPS. Furthermore, we found that STAT3 bound with the iNOS promoter, and their binding was mediated by PLD2. Taken together, our results demonstrate the importance of PLD2 for LPS-induced NO synthesis in Raw 264.7 cells with involvement of the S6K1-p42/44 MAPK-STAT3 pathway.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 7 and 8 are crucial in host defence against single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) viruses. Such viruses cause severe illnesses, which remain a serious medical burden in both industrialised and developing countries. TLR7/8 downstream signaling leads to a dramatic cellular stress associated with energy consumption. However, the molecular mechanisms of cell survival and adaptation to TLR7/8-induced stress, which give the cells an opportunity to initiate proper inflammatory reactions, are not clear at all. Here we report for the first time that ligand-induced activation of TLR7/8 leads to the accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) protein in THP-1 human myeloid macrophages via redox- and reactive nitrogen species-dependent mechanisms. MAP kinases and phosphoinositol-3K are not involved in TLR7/8-mediated HIF-1alpha accumulation. Experiments with HIF-1alpha knockdown THP-1 cells have clearly demonstrated that HIF-1alpha is important for the protection of these cells against TLR7/8-induced depletion of ATP. Thus, HIF-1alpha might support both cell survival and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines upon TLR7/8 activation.

Abstract
Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) has been the major cause of the food-borne salmonellosis pandemic in humans over the last 20 years, during which contaminated hen's eggs were the most important vehicle of the infection. Eggs can be contaminated on the outer shell surface and internally. Internal contamination can be the result of penetration through the eggshell or by direct contamination of egg contents before oviposition, originating from infection of the reproductive organs. Once inside the egg, the bacteria need to cope with antimicrobial factors in the albumen and vitelline membrane before migration to the yolk can occur. It would seem that serotype Enteritidis has intrinsic characteristics that allow an epidemiological association with hen eggs that are still undefined. There are indications that SE survives the attacks with the help of antimicrobial molecules during the formation of the egg in the hen's oviduct and inside the egg. This appears to require a unique combination of genes encoding for improved cell wall protection and repairing cellular and molecular damage, among others.

Immunol Lett 2008; 115:126-30.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is the human pattern recognition receptor that detects lipopolysaccharide (LPS) shared by Gram-negative bacteria. TLR4 is expressed in different cell types including myeloid cells, the key effectors of innate immune reactions. Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), the upstream kinase of MAP kinase-dependent apoptotic pathway has recently been found to be selectively required for p38 MAP kinase activation/cytokine production during TLR4 signalling. However, the activity of this enzyme has to be down-regulated to protect the cells against apoptosis. In the present study we have found that inhibition of PI3 kinase by LY294002 in THP-1 cells exposed to LPS attenuated down-regulation of ASK1 activity followed by programmed cell death. In addition, nitric oxide produced in response to exposure of THP-1 cells to LPS was found to S-nitrosate and therefore, down-regulate ASK1 activity.

Gen Comp Endocrinol 2008; 155:298-306. [PMID: 17574246 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2007.05.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2006] [Revised: 03/13/2007] [Accepted: 05/07/2007] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
In order to understand the role of sympatho-adrenomedullary (SAM) system in mediating stress effect on non-specific immune responses in fishes, the splenic macrophage phagocytic and respiratory burst activities of normal and chemically sympathectomized Channa punctatus under restraint stress were studied. Chemical sympathectomy abrogated the differential effects of acute stress on diverse functions of macrophages. The SAM regulation of macrophage activities was substantiated by in vitro experiments with catecholamines, the end product of SAM system. Further, for the first time in fishes, different adrenoceptors and their precise second messenger system regulating diverse functions of macrophages by catecholamines were demonstrated. Norepinephrine (NE)/epinephrine (E) decreased the phagocytosis through beta-adrenergic receptor as only propranolol, the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist, blocked the suppressive effect of NE/E. However, dopamine (DA) regulates phagocytosis solely via the dopaminergic receptor. The DA effect was mimicked by DA receptor agonists, apomorphine and bromocryptine. Adenylate cyclase system linked to beta-adrenoceptor/dopaminergic receptor seems to be involved in mediating the effect of catecholamine on phagocytosis since db cAMP inhibited the phagocytosis in a dose-dependent manner. In case of superoxide production, only phenoxybenzamine, an alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonist, was seen effective in blocking the stimulatory effect of NE/E. Further, Ca2+ as second messenger system coupled to alpha1-adrenergic receptor was shown to mediate this effect since phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, U73122 and intracellular calcium chelating agent, BAPTA-AM downregulated the NE/E-induced superoxide production. The role of calcium in modulation of superoxide production was also emphasized using calcium ionophore A23187.

DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2008; 32:1111-8.

Abstract
The activation of phospholipases is one of the earliest key events in receptor-mediated cellular responses to a number of extracellular signaling molecules. Oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs (CpG ODN) mimic microbial DNA and are immunostimulatory to most vertebrate species. In the present study, we used the production of nitric oxide (NO) as an indicator to evaluate the involvement of the signaling cascades of phospholipases and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in the activation of chicken HD11 macrophage cells by CpG ODN. Using selective inhibitors, we have identified the involvement of phosphatidylinositol (PI)-phospholipase C (PI-PLC), but not phosphatidylcholine (PC)-phospholipase C (PC-PLC) and PC-phospholipase D (PC-PLD), in CpG ODN-induced NO production in HD11 cells. Preincubation with PI-PLC selective inhibitors (U-73122) completely abrogated CpG ODN-induced NO production in HD11 cells, whereas PC-PLC inhibitor (D609) and PC-PLD inhibitor (n-butanol) had no inhibitory effects. Additionally, inhibition of PI3K and protein kinase C (PKC) with selective inhibitors and chelation of intracellular [Ca(2+)] also significantly attenuated NO production in CpG ODN-activated HD11 cells. Our results demonstrate that PI-PLC, PI3 K, PKC, and intracellular [Ca(2+)] are important components of the CpG ODN-induced signaling pathway that leads to the production of NO in avian macrophage cells.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is required for recognition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria and induction of the innate immune response to them. Nevertheless, the involvement of some crucial pathways in TLR4 signalling is poorly understood. Here, we report that LPS-induced TLR4 signalling triggers cross talk of HIF-1alpha and ASK1 in THP-1 human myeloid monocytic leukaemia cells. Both pathways are activated via redox-dependent mechanism associated with tyrosine kinase/phospholipase C-1gamma-mediated activation of protein kinase C alpha/beta, which are known to activate NADPH oxidase and the production of reactive oxygen species that activate both HIF-1alpha and ASK1. ASK1 contributes to the stabilisation of HIF-1alpha, most likely via activation of p38 MAP kinase.
