Interaction of Pulmonary Surfactant Protein C with CD14 and Lipopolysaccharide

Abstract: In addition to their effects on alveolar surface tension, some components of lung surfactant also have immunological functions. We found recently that the hydrophobic lung surfactant protein SP-C specifically binds to the lipid A region of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In this study, we show that SP-C also interacts with CD14. Four observations showed cross talk between the three molecules SP-C, LPS, and CD14.

“…The a configuration of the terminal phosphate group at the reducing end of the lipid A disaccharide plays a determinant role in LPS recognition. We also demonstrated that CD14 shares with LPS the same binding region on SP-C, and that the interaction with SP-C modifies the conformation of CD14, allowing it to bind LPS more efficiently [118].…”

“…Compared with nonchallenged control mice, LPS treatment significantly increased mRNA levels of LPA 1 and LPA 2 , without altering LPA 3 expression (Fig. 5, AϪC); however, Western blotting showed that LPS challenge increased protein expression of LPA [1][2][3] in lung tissues (Fig. 5, D and E).…”

“…CD14 is known to be expressed in lipid rafts, which are plasma membrane microdomains that are enriched for cholesterol and sphingomyelin and characterized by insolubility in nonionic detergents (8,28). In addition to interaction with LPS, recent studies show that CD14 binds to surfactant proteins (2,4,32) and integrin-␤ 1 (22), suggesting involvement of additional new signaling pathways in CD14-regulated LPS-induced inflammation.…”

“…The hydrophobic proteins, SP-B and SP-C, are involved in organization and adsorption at the air-liquid interface (61), whereas the more hydrophilic proteins, SP-A and SP-D, do not have a primary role in the reduction of surface tension but are important components of antibody-independent innate lung immunity (22). It is known that each of the individual compo-nents in pulmonary surfactant (phospholipids, SP-A, SP-B, SP-C, and SP-D) can, by varying degrees, modulate host inflammatory mechanisms (5,21,27,61).…”
