Activation of liver X receptor sensitizes human dendritic cells to inflammatory stimuli.

چکیده
Dendritic cells (DCs) respond to changes in their lipid environment by altering gene expression and immunophenotype. Some of these alterations are mediated via the nuclear receptor superfamily. However, little is known about the contribution of liver X receptor (LXR) to DC biology. In this study, we present a systematic analysis of LXR, activated by synthetic ligands or naturally occurring oxysterols in developing human monocyte-derived DCs. We found that LXRs are present and can be activated throughout DC differentiation in monocyte- and blood-derived DCs. Administration of LXR-specific natural or synthetic activators induced target gene expression accompanied by increased expression of DC maturation markers, such as CD80 and CD86. In mature DCs, LXR activation augmented the production of inflammatory cytokines IL-12, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-8 and resulted in an increased capacity to activate CD4+ T cell proliferation upon ligation with TLR4 or TLR3 ligands. These effects appear to be underpinned by prolonged NF-kappaB signaling. Supporting such an inflammatory role, we found that LXR positive DCs are present in reactive lymph nodes in vivo. We propose that activation of LXR represents a novel lipid-signaling paradigm that alters the inflammatory response of human DCs.

Introduction Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) which is produced in abundance in the normal adult liver, is deeply involved in hepatocyte survival, growth, and differentiation during liver development. IGF-I plays the roles via the receptor (IGF-IR) signaling pathway. IGF-IR unlike IGF-I is expressed strongly in the developing liver, but much more weakly in adults. Objective: We hypothesi...
متن کاملIsolation and Phenotyping of Normal Mouse Liver Dendritic Cells by an Improved Method
Introduction Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived cells, which migrate to lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs via blood. Liver DCs are believed to play an important role in the regulation of hepatic allograft acceptance. However, because of inherent difficulties in isolating adequate numbers of DCs from liver, limited information is available on the phenotype and functions of liver DCs. ...

Objective(s): Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in activation of T cell responses. Induction of type1 T helper (Th1) immune response is essential to generate protective immunity against cutaneous leishmaniasis. The intrinsic tendency of liposomes to have interaction with antigen-presenting cells is the main rationale to utilize liposomes as antigen carriers. In the present study, the e...
