Regulation and Molecular Mechanism of TLR5 on Resistance to Escherichia coli F18 in Weaned Piglets.

ABSTRACT: Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) plays an important role in immune system. In this study, we performed transcriptome analysis of the duodenum in E. coli F18-resistant and -sensitive Sutai weaned piglets and analyzed the differential expression of TLR5. The cellular localization of TLR5 was investigated, and the effect of TLR5 expression on E. coli invasion was evaluated after pig small intestinal epithelial cell lines (IPEC-J2) were stimulated by E. coli. The results showed that TLR5 expression level in duodenum and jejunum were significantly higher in E. coli F18-sensitive than in E. coli F18-resistant piglets. TLR5 protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and cell membrane. The expression of genes associated with the TLR5 signaling pathway were significantly higher in TLR5-overexpressed
