    Fig. 2. Microglial TLR2 binds to oligomeric tau. (A) Monomeric tau (mTau) and oligomeric tau (oTau) proteins prepared in vitro were subjected to native PAGE and stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue or immunoblotted with anti-human tau (HT7) antibody. (B-C) TLR2 preferentially binds to oTau. Extracts of HEK293T cells transfected with TLR2-GFP were incubated without (None) or with either mTau or oTau (250 nM, 12 h) and subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) (B). The signals of TLR2 on the blots were measured by ImageJ (C). One-way ANOVA with Holm-ˇSíd´ak test, n = 3. (D-E) Mapping of TLR2 domains involved in tau binding. A schematic diagram of TLR2 domains and mutants (ΔLBD, ΔDimer, D327W/F349L, P681H) (D). HEK293T cells were transfected with either WT or mutant TLR2-GFP. Cell lysates were incubated with 250 nM oTau and subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) (E). (F-G) TLR2 activation increases binding of oligomeric tau. BV2 cells were left untreated (Nontreat) or incubated with Pam3CSK4 (10 μg/ml) overnight and then incubated with DyLight 488-labeled mTau or oTau (200 nM, 4 h). Cells were washed and immunostained with anti-TLR2 antibody (F). Scale bar, 10 μm. TLR2-bound DyLight 488 signals were measured by ImageJ (G). Two-way ANOVA with Tukey test, n = 3, 50 cells per group. Data are represented as mean ± SEM.

    Fig. 4. Tau-induced TLR2 activation in microglia promotes neuronal tau uptake. (A-B) Microglial TLR2 increases neuronal tau uptake in neuron-microglia co- culture system. WT and Tlr2 KO mouse primary cortical neurons (DIV 7) and microglia (DIV 14) were co-cultured and treated with DyLight 488-oligomeric tau (200 nM, 24 h) (A). Scale bar, 10 μm. DyLight 488 intensities in MAP2-positive neurons (arrowheads) were measured (B). Two-way ANOVA with Tukey test, n = 3, 28–58 cells per group. (C-D) Tlr2 deficiency reduces tau-induced microglial activation in the mouse hippocampus. Tau oligomers (6 μg) were intracranially injected into the hippocampus of 4-month-old mice. After 7 days, brain sections were immunostained with anti-human tau (HT7) and anti-Iba1 antibodies (C). Scale bar, 50 μm. Manders’ colocalization coefficient (fraction of HT7 overlapping Iba1) was measured (D). Unpaired t-test, two-tailed, n = 3 per group. (E-F) Tlr2 deficiency reduces neuronal tau uptake in the mouse hippocampus. Tau oligomers (6 μg) were intracranially injected into the hippocampus of 3-month-old mice. After 48 h, brain sections were immunostained with anti-human tau (HT7) and anti-MAP2 antibodies (E). Arrowheads indicate internalized tau oligomers. Scale bar, 10 μm. Per- centages of HT7-positive neurons in the injection area were estimated (F). Unpaired t-test, two-tailed, n = 3 per group. Data are represented as mean ± SEM.

    Isolated hepatic macrophages are sensitive to TLR2 and TLR4-stimulants. (A) Immunofluorescence (F4/80, green, DAPI, blue), showed near complete absence of F4/80 + macrophages in liver of mice 3 days after intraperitoneal administration of 1 mg clodronate liposomes ( n = 8–11/gp). (B) Hepatic CD68 mRNA was also significantly reduced by clodronate liposome (CL) treatment. (C) TNF-α production from liver slices of untreated (low-fat diet, LFD), 4 week high-fat diet-primed (HFD), or 4 week HFD primed then CL treated (HFD+CL) mice ( n = 5/gp) cultured with LPS for 24 h. (D) Serum cholesterol levels in mice primed for 4 weeks with HFD, then treated with CL, then orally gavaged with 200 μl saline alone (Ctrl) or 1 mg LPS, revealed no impact of orally delivered LPS on HDL-C in these mice ( n = 11/gp). (E) Pro-inflammatory cytokine production by hepatic macrophages isolated from LFD- or HFD-primed mice treated with medium alone (Ctrl), Pam 3 CSK 4 or LPS ( n = 3–4/gp). (F) Flow cytometry for TLR2 and TLR4 expression by RAW macrophages (positive control cell-line), in comparison with hepatic macrophages isolated from LFD- or HFD-primed mice (representative of 3 exps). Error bars shown are SEM. Pairwise comparisons by Student's T -test.

    Interleukin-1β plays a key role in the downregulation of RCT mediators by hepatocytes in response to products secreted by activated hepatic macrophages. (A,B) Human HepG2 hepatocytes increased serum amyloid A (SAA)-1, and reduced ApoAI, mRNA expression significantly in response to IL-1β, but not stimulants of NOD1 (iEDAP), TLR2 (Pam 3 CSK 4 ), or TLR4 ( E. coli LPS). (C) Conditioned medium of HepG2 cells significantly increased the efflux of 3 H-radiolabelled cholesterol from J774 macrophages. (D) The capacity of conditioned media of HepG2 hepatocytes to accept 3 H-radiolabelled cholesterol effluxed from J774 macrophages was reduced significantly by IL-1β, but not by IL-6, TNF-α, or stimulants of NOD1, TLR2, or TLR4. (E) Flow cytometry showed abundant surface TLR2 and TLR4 on human primary monocytes, but no TLR2 and little TLR4 on HepG2 hepatocytes. Murine primary hepatocytes isolated by hepatic perfusion also showed no expression of TLR2 or TLR4, in low-fat diet (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD)-primed mice (representative of 4 experiments). (F) Kinetics of ApoAI protein expression in HepG2 cells treated with IL-1β determined by Western blot. (G) HepG2 ApoAI mRNA response to conditioned medium of LPS-treated human monocytes with isotype-control or IL-1β neutralizing antibody ( n = 5 exps). (H,I) ApoAI and SAA1 mRNA responses of primary hepatocytes (isolated from n = 6 LFD-fed mice) to inflammatory cytokines (20 ng/ml). (J) ApoAI mRNA responses of primary hepatocytes ( n = 3 HFD-primed mice) to indicated PAMPs (100 ng/ml). Error bars shown are SEM. P -values vs. control condition, Student's T -tests or ANOVA with Dunnett's test.

    Suggested model for the accumulation of PAMPs in foods and their impact on APR and RCT mediators. The enrichment of the food microbiota in proteobacterial species and their subsequent overgrowth can occur in meat and certain other food products when finely chopped and stored at or above refrigeration temperature. This leads to the accumulation of pro-inflammatory bacterial lipopeptides and lipopolysaccharides, which retain their TLR2 and TLR4-stimulating properties even after cooking has killed remaining viable bacteria . These TLR-stimulants may then be absorbed, particularly when intestinal barrier function is impaired, to reach the portal circulation and the liver. Although hepatocytes are insensitive to these stimulants, they may be detected by hepatic macrophages, which secrete IL-1β and other inflammatory cytokines to trigger the APR programme in hepatocytes. This results in reduced serum levels of ApoAI, which is a key mediator of RCT and atherogenesis in mice . Modulation of the food microbiota therefore represents a novel potential target for the modulation of systemic inflammatory markers and cholesterol metabolism.
