OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the mechanism through which the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) influences the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response, a condition that is associated with premature rupture of membranes (PROM).
METHODS: Human myeloid leukemia mononuclear cells (THP-1) were employed as the experimental model. These cells were treated with LPS and the TLR4 inhibitor CLI-095 and subsequently divided into three groups. A range of assays were utilized, including methyl thiazolyl tetrazole (MTT) assay, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for measuring TLR4 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) mRNA levels, double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for assessing monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), as well as secretion levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β. And western blotting was used to detect the expression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) p65, which are components of the TLR4 downstream signaling pathway.
RESULTS: The LPS-induced proliferation of THP-1 cells was significantly inhibited (p < 0.05) when compared with normal THP-1 cells. Moreover, LPS also promoted TLR4 mRNA and protein expression levels, TNF-α mRNA expression, secretion of inflammatory factors, and phosphorylation of ERK and NF-κB p65 proteins (p < 0.05). On the other hand, administration of the TLR4 inhibitor CLI-095 significantly inhibited the expression of TLR4 mRNA and protein. It also effectively increased the proliferative activity of THP-1 cells and inhibited the secretion of TNF-α and inflammatory factors, as well as the phosphorylation of ERK and NF-κB p65 proteins (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, suppressing TLR4 expression can mitigate inflammatory responses, thereby reducing the likelihood of premature rupture of membranes during pregnancy, which is often triggered by such inflammation.
