Phagocytosis of non-opsonized microorganisms by macrophages initiates innate immune responses for host defense against infection. Cytosolic phospholipase A2 is activated during phagocytosis, releasing arachidonic acid for production of eicosanoids, which initiate acute inflammation. Our objective was to identify pattern recognition receptors that stimulate arachidonic acid release and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) expression in macrophages by pathogenic yeast and yeast cell walls. Zymosan- and Candida albicans-stimulated arachidonic acid release from resident mouse peritoneal macrophages was blocked by soluble glucan phosphate. In RAW264.7 cells arachidonic acid release, COX2 expression, and prostaglandin production were enhanced by overexpressing the β-glucan receptor, dectin-1, but not dectin-1 lacking the cytoplasmic tail. Pure particulate (1, 3)-β-d-glucan stimulated arachidonic acid release and COX2 expression, which were augmented in a Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)-dependent manner by macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2. However, arachidonic acid release and leukotriene C4 production stimulated by zymosan and C. albicans were TLR2-independent, whereas COX2 expression and prostaglandin production were partially blunted in TLR2–/– macrophages. Inhibition of Syk tyrosine kinase blocked arachidonic acid release and COX2 expression in response to zymosan, C. albicans, and particulate (1, 3)-β-d-glucan. The results suggest that cytosolic phospholipase A2 activation triggered by the β-glucan component of yeast is dependent on the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-like domain of dectin-1 and activation of Syk kinase, whereas both TLR2 and Syk kinase regulate COX2 expression.

Macrophages play an important role in innate immunity, serving as a first line of defense against microorganisms (1Hume D.A. Ross I.L. Himes S.R. Sasmono R.T. Wells C.A. Ravasi T. J.

Macrophages recognize and engulf opsonized microorganisms through immunoglobulin and complement receptors, but they also possess a number of phagocytic receptors that mediate non-opsonic uptake by binding to specific molecular components of microbial surfaces (3Aderem A.

Examples of phagocytic pattern recognition receptors include scavenger receptors, the mannose receptor, a variety of C-type lectin receptors, and the C-type lectin-like β-glucan receptor dectin-1, which is a receptor for zymosan and fungi (6Brown G.D. Gordon S. Nature. 2001; 413: 36-37Crossref PubMed Scopus (1303) Google Scholar). Phagocytosis of microorganisms is accompanied by activation of the non-phagocytic Toll-like receptors (TLR), 3The abbreviations used are: TLR2, Toll-like receptor-2; cPLA2, cytosolic phospholipase A2; COX, cyclooxygenase; P-βG, particulate (1,3)-β-d-glucan; MALP-2, macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2; PG, prostaglandin; LTC4, leukotriene; ITAM, immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif; ROS, reactive oxygen species; SIGNR1, specific ICAM (intercellular adhesion molecule)-3-grabbing nonintegrin-related 1; DMEM, Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium; m.o.i., multiplicity of infection; IL, interleukin; TNF, tumor necrosis factor. which participate in promoting inflammatory responses (7Mukhopadhyay S.
