© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), a member of the TLR innate immune receptor family, recognizes lipoproteins from bacteria and modulates the immune response by inducing the expression of various cytokines. TLR2 has a large hydrophobic pocket that recognizes long fatty acyl groups on TLR2 ligands. However, few studies have focused on the property of the hydrophobic TLR2 pocket. Based on the X-ray crystal structure of TLR2, small polar regions were found in the hydrophobic TLR2 pocket. Interactions between the polar residues and ligands were explored here by designing and synthesizing a Pam2CSK4 derivative of the TLR2 ligands, containing an amide group within the lipid moiety. We evaluated the binding affinities and immunomodulatory activities of these ligands. Results suggested that the amide groups in the lipid chain interacted with the polar residues in the hydrophobic lipid-binding pocket of TLR2.

© 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry. As a mammalian toll-like receptor family member protein, TLR2 recognizes lipoproteins from bacteria and modulates the immune response by inducing the expression of various cytokines. We have developed fluorescence-labeled TLR2 ligands with either hydrophilic or hydrophobic fluorescence groups. The labeled ligands maintained the inflammatory IL-6 induction activity and enabled us to observe the internalization and colocalization of the TLR2 ligands using live-cell imaging. The time-lapse monitoring in the live-cell imaging of the fluorescence-labeled TLR2 ligand showed that TLR2/CD14 expression in the host cells enhanced the internalization of TLR2 ligand molecules.

© The Author(s) 2018. The TLR2 agonist, dipalmitoyl lipopeptide (Pam2LP), has been used as an immune adjuvant without much success. Pam2LP is recognised by TLR2/6 receptors in humans and in mice. This study examined the proliferative activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) using mouse Ag-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) and OT-I assay system, where a library of synthetic Pam2LP was utilised from the Staphylococcus aureus database. Ag-specific CTL expansion and IFN-γ levels largely depended on the Pam2LP peptide sequence. The first Aa is cysteine (Cys), which has an active SH residue to bridge fatty acids, and the second and third Aa are hydrophilic or non-polar. The sequence structurally adapted to the residual constitution of the reported TLR2/6 pocket. The inactive sequence contained proline or leucine/isoleucine after the first Cys. Notably, no direct activation of OT-I cells was detected without DCs by stimulation with the active Pam2LP having the Cys-Ser sequence. MyD88, but not TICAM-1 or IFN pathways, in DCs participates in DC maturation characterised by upregulation of CD40, CD80 and CD86. Hence, the active Pam2LPs appear suitable for dimeric TLR2/6 on DCs, resulting in induction of DC maturation.
