Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) plays a critical role beyond its traditional function in innate immunity, significantly impacting metabolic regulation and liver health. Previously, we reported that TLR5 activation extends the healthspan and lifespan of aging mice. This study demonstrates that TLR5 deficiency leads to pronounced metabolic abnormalities with age, primarily affecting liver metabolic functions rather than intestinal inflammation. Comprehensive RNA sequencing analysis revealed that TLR5 deficiency induces gene expression changes in liver tissue similar to those caused by the methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet, particularly affecting lipid metabolism and circadian rhythm-related genes. TLR5 knockout (TLR5 KO) mice displayed an increased propensity for liver fibrosis and lipid accumulation under the MCD diet, exacerbating liver pathology. Both hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells in TLR5 KO mice were functionally impacted, leading to metabolic dysfunction and fibrosis. These findings suggest that TLR5 could be a significant target for addressing metabolic diseases that arise and worsen with aging. Furthermore, understanding the mechanisms by which TLR5 activation extends healthspan could provide valuable insights into therapeutic strategies for enhancing longevity and managing age-related metabolic disorders.
