Abstract:

This study was designed to investigate the effects of TLR4 signaling pathway in RAW264.7 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in two different virulent Pasteurella multocida serotype A isolates (high-virulent PmCQ2 and low-virulent PmCQ6) respectively. The activation of TLR4 pathway, expression of TNF-α and IL-12p40, phosphorylation of IκBα, and nuclear translocation of NF-κB, were identified in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Results showed that the expression of TLR4, TNF-α and IL-12p40 was significantly increased in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, both LPSPmCQ2 and LPSPmCQ6 up-regulated IκBα phosphorylation, and activated TLR4-triggered nuclear translocation of NF-κBp65, but there was no significant difference between the two treatments. The LPS of bovine Pasteurella multocida Serotype A high-and low-virulent strains can induce the TLR4-mediated immune response, and there is no difference in TLR4-mediated IκBα-NF-κB signaling pathway, indicating that there may be no significant difference in virulence between LPSPmCQ2 and LPSPmCQ6 on RAW264.7 cells. These results suggested that for RAW264.7 cells, the virulence of Pasteuralla multocida is dependent on others virulence factors, not LPS.
