Microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune system. Flagellin, the primary component of bacterial flagella, is recognized by membrane TLR5 and cytoplasmic NLRC4 receptors, which promote a vigorous pro-inflammatory response typically associated with bacterial infection. However, herein, we report that the nature of the flagellin-induced response is highly dependent on the physiological state of the tissue. Specifically, in the steady state, epithelial cell detection of flagellin orchestrates an anti-inflammatory response mediated by IL-33-dependent type 2 regulatory T cells while, in the context of injury, it induces a pro-inflammatory response mediated by myeloid cells, IL-18 and Th17 cells. Likewise, in the absence of infection, bacterial symbionts expressing high levels of flagellin induce a type 2 response. These data demonstrate that, depending on the inflammatory state of the milieu, MAMPs can function both as immunogens or tolerogens.
