Innate Sensing through Mesenchymal TLR4/MyD88 Signals Promotes Spontaneous Intestinal Tumorigenesis.

Cell reports | 2019

MyD88, an adaptor molecule downstream of innate pathways, plays a significant tumor-promoting role in sporadic intestinal carcinogenesis of the Apcmin/+ model, which carries a mutation in the Apc gene. Here, we show that deletion of MyD88 in intestinal mesenchymal cells (IMCs) significantly reduces tumorigenesis in this model. This phenotype is associated with decreased epithelial cell proliferation, altered inflammatory and tumorigenic immune cell infiltration, and modified gene expression similar to complete MyD88 knockout mice. Genetic deletion of TLR4, but not interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R), in IMCs led to altered molecular profiles and reduction of intestinal tumors similar to the MyD88 deficiency. Ex vivo analysis in IMCs indicated that these effects could be mediated through downstream signals involving growth factors and inflammatory and extracellular matrix (ECM)-regulating genes, also found in human cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Our results provide direct evidence that during tumorigenesis, IMCs and CAFs are activated by innate TLR4/MyD88-mediated signals and promote carcinogenesis in the intestine.

Opticon Monitor Software (software resource)

RRID:SCR_014241

Software which controls all operations in the experimental setup, data acquisition and monitoring, and data analysis stages of the Bio-Rad Opticon 2 system. In the experimental setup stage, setup and programming operations are accessed from the Master File window. The master file consists of a plate file, which specifies the parameters of the plate, and a protocol file, which specifies the experimental conditions. After a plate and a protocol setup have been created or selected, a run can be initiated, which begins the data acquisition and monitoring stage. Data collection can be monitored during the run by viewing a plot of fluorescence intensity vs. cycle number. In the data analysis stage, data can be analyzed using the Quantitation, Melting Curve, and/or Analysis windows. The window used depends on the type of data being collected.
