Human bronchial epithelial cells exposed to synthetic double-stranded RNA (poly I: C) exhibited increased IL-6 and RANTES secretion and TLR2 expression that was inhibited following TLR3 silencing. Increased NF-kappa B and Stat3 phosphorylation were detected after poly I: C exposure and pretreatment with neutralizing antibody targeting IL-6 receptor alpha (IL-6R alpha-nAb) or blocking Jak2 and Stat3 activity inhibited Stat3 phosphorylation. TLR2 up-regulation by poly I: C was also reduced by IL-6R alpha-nAb and inhibitors of Jak2, Stat3 and NF-kappa B phosphorylation, whereas RANTES secretion was unaffected, but abolished following NF-kappa B inhibition. Treatment with exogenous IL-6 failed to increase TLR2. These findings demonstrate that TLR3 activation differentially regulates TLR expression through autocrine signaling involving IL-6 secretion, IL-6R alpha activation and subsequent phosphorylation of Stat3. The results also indicate that NF-kappa B and Stat3 are required for TLR3 dependent up-regulation of TLR2 and that its delayed expression was due to a requirement for IL-6-dependent Stat3 activation.
