Bacterial flagellin is a dominant, stable innate immune activator in the gastrointestinal contents of mice and rats.

摘要
Intestinal contents comprise the largest repository of immunogenic ligands of microbial origin. We undertook this study to assess the predominant microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) present therein and the receptors) that mediate the innate immune responses to them. Here, we demonstrated that intestinal contents from conventional, but not germ-free, mice and rats triggered robust innate immune responses and . Such immune responses were abrogated in the absence of either myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) or Toll-like receptor (TLR) 5, but not TLR4, suggesting that the stimuli was flagellin (., protein subunit of flagella that drives bacterial motility). Accordingly, pre-treating intestinal extracts with proteinase, thereby degrading flagellin, was sufficient to block their ability to activate innate immune responses. Taken together, this work serves to underscore flagellin as a major, heat-stable and bioactive MAMP in the intestinal content that confers this milieu strong potential to trigger innate immune responses.
