RESUMO
Mycoplasma arginini TUH-14 partially purified membrane lipoproteins (TUH-14-pp) directly induce secretion of the cytokines involved in the inflammatory response, namely, interleukin 1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha, and IL-6, by human monocytes cultured in the absence of serum. The biological activity of each cytokine correlates with its immunoreactivity. Upon stimulation with either TUH-14-pp or lipopolysaccharide, most tumor necrosis factor alpha and IL-6 is secreted in the extracellular compartment, whereas a significant amount of IL-1 remains cell associated. Finally, polymyxin B does not affect secretion of cytokines induced by TUH-14-pp, indicating that mycoplasma lipopolysaccharide does not account for their effects on monocytes. Altogether, our data show that direct interaction of mycoplasma membrane components with human blood monocytes induces secretion of high levels of cytokines known to trigger inflammatory responses. This new concept of membrane-bound active components of mycoplasma may explain its ability to efficiently initiate inflammatory reactions.
