We then demonstrated that the increase in VSMC migratory capacity caused by C. pneumoniae infection was inhibited by either TLR2 or CXCR4 depletion, and down-regulating both TLR2 and CXCR4 further decreased C. pneumoniae infection-induced VSMC migration by suppressing the infection-stimulated F-actin reorganization through the inhibition of the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase. Taken together, our data indicate that TLR2/CXCR4 co-association facilitates C. pneumoniae infection-induced acceleration of atherosclerosis by inducing VSMC migration via fo
