Potent Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-dependent cell activation by endotoxin depends on sequential transfer of monomers of endotoxin from an aggregated form to CD14 via the lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and then to MD-2. We now show that monomeric endotoxin can be transferred in reverse from MD-2 to CD14 but not to lipopolysaccharide-binding protein. Reverse transfer requires a similar to 1000-fold molar excess of CD14 to endotoxin-MD-2. Transfer of endotoxin from MD-2 to extracellular soluble CD14 reduces activation of cells expressing TLR4 without MD-2. However, transfer of endotoxin from MD-2 to membrane CD14 (mCD14) makes cells expressing MD-2 center dot TLR4 sensitive to activation by the endotoxin-MD-2 complex. An endotoxin-mutant (F126A) MD-2 complex that does not activate cells expressing TLR4 alone potently activates cells expressing mCD14, MD-2, and TLR4 by transferring endotoxin to mCD14, which then transfers endotoxin to endogenous wildtype MD-2 center dot TLR4. These findings describe a novel pathway of endotoxin transfer that provides an additional layer of regulation of cell activation by endotoxin.
