TNF is a marker of disease activity in
bacterial meningitis
. To investigate TNF modulation by Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2), we studied temporal and anatomical expression patterns of TLR2 and TNF in a pneumococcal meningitis model in wild type (wt) and TLR2(-/-) mice. We show by in situ hybridization that transcripts of TLR2 and of the comolecules CD14,
MD-2
, TLR1/6 strongly increased and colocalized with TNF in CD45-positive infiltrating cells in the ventricles, corpus callosum and the meninges. TNF gene and protein expression was stronger in TLR2(-/-) than wt brains and associated with increased IkappaB expression suggesting that TLR2 is controlling inflammation via TNF regulation.
