Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein-1 is expressed and involved in the inflammatory response in human sebocytes

Sebocytes express Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs), which participate in the innate immune response of the skin. Although the roles of TLRs and NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) in inflammatory responses in sebocytes have...

description Sebocytes express Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs), which participate in the innate immune response of the skin. Although the roles of TLRs and NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) in inflammatory responses in sebocytes have been reported, the expression and functions of other NLR members, such as NOD protein-1 and -2 (NOD1 and NOD2, respectively), remain unclear. In this study, we showed that, in sebocytes, the expression of NOD1 is higher than that of NOD2, and that NOD1 is involved in inflammatory responses, such as the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. A NOD1 agonist, L-alanyl-γ-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid (Tri-DAP) induced the expression and secretion of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and activated the nuclear factor-kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. On the other hand, a NOD2 agonist, muramyl dipeptide, did not. Either inhibition with a NOD1 inhibitor, ML130, or knockdown of NOD1 expression abolished Tri-DAP-induced inflammatory responses, suggesting that NOD1 is involved in the immunogenic signaling system of sebocytes. Furthermore, Tri-DAP and an agonist of TLR2 or TLR4 additively increased IL-8 expression compared with each agonist alone. Our results reveal the role of NOD1 in the inflammatory responses of sebocytes and may provide a novel therapeutic target for sebaceous gland inflammatory diseases, such as acne vulgaris.
