Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) initiates multiple signaling events in vascular endothelial cells that can result in activation and/or cell death. LPS-induced activation of endothelial cells elicits a wide array of vascular endothelial responses, many of which are dependent on NF-kappaB activation. Several of the signaling molecules that mediate LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation, including Tlr-4, MyD88, and IRAK-1, have been similarly reported to mediate LPS pro-apoptotic signaling. Recently, a new signaling molecule, TIRAP, has been identified that mediates LPS-induced NF-kappaB signaling in monocytes and macrophages. Using a TIRAP dominant negative construct, we have identified a role for TIRAP in mediating LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation and apoptosis in human endothelial cells. These data identify TIRAP as a dual functioning signaling molecule and suggest the presence of a MyD88-independent LPS signaling pathway in human endothelial cells. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
