Dietary carbohydrate fibers are known to prevent immunological diseases common in
Western countries such as allergy and asthma but the underlying mechanisms are
largely unknown. Until now beneficial effects of dietary fibers are mainly
attributed to fermentation products of the fibers such as anti-inflammatory
short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Here, we found and present a new mechanism by
which dietary fibers can be anti-inflammatory: a commonly consumed fiber, pectin,
blocks innate immune receptors. We show that pectin binds and inhibits, toll-like
receptor 2 (TLR2) and specifically inhibits the proinflammatory TLR2-TLR1 pathway
while the tolerogenic TLR2-TLR6 pathway remains unaltered. This effect is most
pronounced with pectins having a low degree of methyl esterification (DM). Low-DM
pectin interacts with TLR2 through electrostatic forces between non-esterified
galacturonic acids on the pectin and positive charges on the TLR2 ectodomain, as
confirmed by testing pectin binding on mutated TLR2. The anti-inflammatory effect
of low-DM pectins was first studied in human dendritic cells and mouse
macrophages in vitro and was subsequently tested in vivo in TLR2-dependent
ileitis in a mouse model. In these mice, ileitis was prevented by pectin
administration. Protective effects were shown to be TLR2-TLR1 dependent and
independent of the SCFAs produced by the gut microbiota. These data suggest that
low-DM pectins as a source of dietary fiber can reduce inflammation through
direct interaction with TLR2-TLR1 receptors.
