摘要
Dear Editor,oll-like receptor 4(TLR4)is a key receptor sensing bacterial lipopolysaccharide(LPS),and is the most investigated member of the Tol-like receptor family(Kawai and Akira,2007;Kayagaki et al,2013;Klein et al.,2015).Cell surface TLR4 expression is determined by the balance between receptor trafficking from the Golgi apparatus to the cell membrane,and internalization of the cell surface receptor into endosomal compartments(Saltoh,2009).In bone mar-row-derived macrophages(BMDM),we observed LPS-in-duced EGFR phosphorylation on the surface of BMDM,and this was inhibited by pretreatment with PD168393 or TAPI-1(Fig.S1).Next,we measured dynamic changes in cell sur-face TLR4 expression after LPS treatment.At6,12,and 24 h after LPS treatment,TLR4 expression on the surface of BMDM was increased^2-,~6-,and^9-fold,respectively,as compared with controls.
