Heme is a prosthetic group in a large number of essential proteins that have a pivotal role in oxygen transport, storage and electron shuttling. High amounts of free heme are associated with pathological states,. Recently, it has been suggested that activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is one of the ways in which the “danger signal” of free heme is detected. Here we examine the biochemical basis of the modulation of the TLR4 pathway by hemin (iron(III)-protoporphyrin IX) and its metabolic, oxidated derivative coprohemin (iron(III)-coproporphyrin I). High concentrations of hemin (50 µM) triggered TLR4-mediated IL-8 production in human HEK293/TLR4 cell line in the absence of the co-receptors CD14 and MD-2, the latter an essential co-receptor for TLR4 activation by endotoxin. Hemin and endotoxin have additive effects when co-administrated to HEK/TLR4 cells, suggesting that hemin and endotoxin activate TLR4 by different mechanisms. Coprohemin, in contrast to hemin, is unable to trigger TLR4-dependent activation of HEK/TLR4 cells, but instead causes dose-dependent inhibition of endotoxin-stimulated IL-8 production. The inhibitory effect of coprohemin is paralleled by reduced delivery of endotoxin to MD-2(·TLR4) that is necessary for activation of TLR4 by endotoxin. Thus, despite their similar chemical structure, hemin and coprohemin have very different effects on the TLR4 pathway, the former acting as a mild agonist of TLR4, the latter as an antagonist selectively targeting the endotoxin-MD-2 interaction.
