Objective:This study aims to investigate the roles of Toll like receptor(TLR)-Pellino 1(Peli1) axis in methamphetamine(Meth)-mediated microglial inflammation and pathway in BV2 cells. Methods:Western blot was used to observe the expression of Toll like receptors(TLR),the downstream adaptor proteins of myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88)and TIR-domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon-β(TRIF). In parallel,the expression of Peli1 protein was detected by Western blot. The downstream inflammatory factors and signal pathway regulated by Peli1 were observed by ELISA,real-time PCR and Western blot. Results:The expression of TLR3,TLR4,TLR7,TLR8 and TLR11 was significantly up-regulated after Meth treatment in BV2 cells. Meanwhile,the expression of MyD88 and TRIF was significantly increased,and TRIF level exhibited a concentration-dependent effect. Meanwhile,Meth obviously induced the expression of ubiquitin protein Peli1. Noteworthily,after Peli1 was down-regulated by RNA interference,the expression of inflammatory factors including inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and interleukin(IL)-6 were dramatically decreased,accompanied by the significant attenuation of nuclear factor(NF)-κB activation. Conclusion:The TLRs-mediated inflammatory signal plays an important role in the process of microglial inflammatory response induced by Meth. Therefore,the TLRs-Peli1 signal axis may be a promising target for the intervention of Meth neurotoxicity,which displays significant application.
