    Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and related factors are multifunctional cytokines that regulate diverse cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune response. The involvement of TGF-beta receptor-mediated signaling in bacteria-induced up-regulation of mucin, a primary innate defensive response for mammalian airways, however, still remains unknown. Here, we report that the bacterium nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), an important human respiratory pathogen, utilizes the TGF-beta-Smad signaling pathway together with the TLR2-MyD88-TAK1-NIK-IKKbeta/gamma-IkappaBalpha pathway to mediate NF-kappaB-dependent MUC2 mucin transcription. The NTHi-induced TGF-beta receptor Type II phosphorylation occurred at as early as 5 min. Pretreatment of NTHi with TGF-beta neutralization antibody reduced up-regulation of MUC2 transcription. Moreover, functional cooperation of NF-kappaB p65/p50 with Smad3/4 appears to positively mediate NF-kappaB-dependent MUC2 transcription. These data are the first to demonstrate the involvement of TGF-beta receptor-mediated signaling in bacteria-induced up-regulation of mucin transcription, bring insights into the novel role of TGF-beta signaling in bacterial pathogenesis, and may lead to new therapeutic intervention of NTHi infections.
