Innate immune surveillance in the blood is executed mostly by circulating monocytes, which recognize conserved bacterial molecules such as peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide. Toll-like receptors (TLR) play a central role in microbe-associated molecular pattern detection. The aim of this study was to compare the differences in TLR expression and cytokine production after stimulation of peripheral blood cells with heat-killed gram-negative and gram-positive human pathogens: Neisseria meningitidis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. We found that TLR2 expression is up-regulated on monocytes after stimulation with S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, E. coli, and N. meningitidis. Moreover, TLR2 up-regulation was positively associated with increasing concentrations of gram-positive bacteria, whereas higher concentrations of gram-negative bacteria, especially E. coli, caused a milder TLR2 expression increase when compared to low doses. Cytokines were produced in similar dose-dependent profiles regardless of the stimulatory pathogen; however, gram-negative pathogens induced higher cytokine levels when compared to gram-positive bacteria at the same density. These results indicate that gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria differ in their dose-dependent patterns of induction of TLR2 and TLR4, but not cytokine expression.
