CD14 ( "CD" from Cluster of Differentiation ) is a surface protein that is mainly formed by monocytes and macrophages of mammals . CD14 has an opsonin receptor function and binds bacterial fatty acids and peptidoglycans . Together with TLR4 and lymphocyte antigen 96 it forms the lipopolysaccharide receptor .

CD14 is a 55kDa glycoprotein that is linked to the cell membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor . In endothelial cells, CD14 has a regulatory function for cell survival. Although the predominant concentration is significantly lower, the dissolution of CD14 by macrophages in these cells leads to programmed cell death ( apoptosis ).

CD14 is also expressed in cells of the brain: it is found under basal conditions (especially in the microglia ) in the leptomeninges, in the choroid plexus, and along the blood vessels. When lipopolysaccharides are administered systemically (intravenously), CD14 is increased in these regions within the next (1) -3- (24) hours. This activation begins in the structures with a more permeable blood-brain barrier , the ( circumventricular organs ) and continues into deeper brain sections.

Polymorphisms

Mutations in the CD14 - gene have been found in many studies. In a study of 440 Han Chinese children, the occurrence of juvenile idiopathic arthritis was directly associated with the polymorphism C-159T. The same mutation was a risk factor for Hodgkin lymphoma in a study with 170 Greek children . A possible increase in the risk of COPD was found in the study of 250 smokers.

Another mutation, C-260T, is linked to the severity of the course of infectious diseases such as periodontitis or ulcerative colitis .

regulation

The CD14 expression is increased by TNF-α and IL-1β (different in different tissues) (in the sense of a positive feedback ) as long as lipopolysaccharides are present.
