The precise mechanism s by which Fas activates macrophage inflammation is unknown. We hypothesized that Fas stimulates rapid release of high mobility group box 1 HMGB1 that acts in an autocrine and or paracrine manner to stimulate pro-inflammatory cytokine production via a Toll-like receptor-4 TLR4 Interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase-4 IRAK4 -dependent mechanism. Following Fas activation HMGB1 was released within 1 hr from viable cells and primary murine peritoneal macrophages. HMGB1 release was more rapid following Fas activation compared to LPS stimulation. Neutralization of HMGB1 with an inhibitory anti-HMGB1 monoclonal antibody strongly inhibited Fas-induced production of tumor necrosis factor TNF and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 MIP-2 . Both Fas-induced HMGB1 release and associated pro-inflammatory cytokine production were significantly decreased from Tlr4- - and ưak4 - macrophages but not Tlr2- - macrophages. These findings reveal a novel mechanism underlying Fas-mediated pro-inflammatory physiological responses in macrophages. We conclude that Fas activation induces rapid TLR4 IRAK4-dependent release of HMGB1 that contributes to Fas-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production by viable macrophages. Introduction Fas CD95 is a 48-kDa type I transmembrane protein member of the TNF receptor family 1 . The endogenous ligand for Fas is FasL CD178 a 40-kDa type II .
