In vivo and in vitro regulation of type I IFN synthesis by synergistic effects of CD40 and type II IFN.

چکیده
During cognate interaction with CD40 ligand (CD154)-expressing T cells, Ag-presenting accessory cells are activated for increased cytokine synthetic and costimulatory function. We examined whether CD40 modulates in vivo innate immune function over time, hypothesizing that distinct cytokine responses evolve to delayed microbial exposure. C3H/HeN mice pretreated with activating anti-CD40 Ab (FGK45) produced 10-fold more serum IFN-gamma and IL-12 p70 to delayed, but not synchronous, challenge with LPS. A novel finding was that LPS-induced IFN-alpha increased by 20-fold in mice pretreated for 24 h, but not 6 h or less, with anti-CD40. Anti-CD40-pretreated C57BL/6 RAG-2(-/-) mice similarly increased IFN-alpha responses to delayed LPS challenge, confirming mediation by innate immunity. Type I IFNR- and IFN-gamma-deficient mice treated with anti-CD40 failed to expand serum IFN-alpha responses to LPS challenge. Combined pretreatment with anti-CD40 and anti-IFN-gamma mAb showed that IFN-gamma produced after anti-CD40 pretreatment, but before LPS challenge, was necessary for IFN-alpha synthetic enhancement. Anti-CD40 also increased polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C))-inducible IFN-alpha by 5-fold in an IFN-gamma-dependent fashion, but did not significantly increase IFN-alpha production to CpG or Pam(3)Cys challenges. Poly(IC)-stimulated splenocytes from anti-CD40-pretreated mice produced 4-fold more IFN-alpha than controls and production associated with CD11c(+) cells. Finally, rIFN-gamma and anti-CD40 combined synergistically to increase poly(IC)-inducible IFN-alpha synthetic capacity in bone marrow dendritic cells. We conclude that innate immune production of IFN-alpha is cooperatively regulated by CD40 and IFN-gamma acting on dendritic cells, suggesting a unique mechanism by which innate immune function evolves in response to specific adaptive immune signals.

Synergistic activation of macrophages via CD40 and TLR9 results in T cell independent antitumor effects.
We have previously shown that macrophages (Mphi) can be activated by CD40 ligation to become cytotoxic against tumor cells in vitro. Here we show that treatment of mice with agonistic anti-CD40 mAb (anti-CD40) induced up-regulation of intracellular TLR9 in Mphi and primed them to respond to CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG), resulting in synergistic activation. The synergy between anti...
متن کاملInterferon Gamma Unresponsiveness Due to Down-Regulation of IFN-γR Expression in Experimental Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
It is now well documented that interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is the indispensable cytokine for inducing protective immunity against experimental and human cutaneous leishmaniaisis. The importance of IFN-γ receptor (IFN-γR) has also been studied. In the present study, we made attempts to find out whether L. major infection is able to alter the expression of IFN-γR in vivo. In addition, we studied the...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of Th1 and Th2 functions of NKT cells by CD28 and CD40 costimulatory pathways.
Valpha14 NKT cells produce large amounts of IFN-gamma and IL-4 upon recognition of their specific ligand alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) by their invariant TCR. We show here that NKT cells constitutively express CD28, and that blockade of CD28-CD80/CD86 interactions by anti-CD80 and anti-CD86 mAbs inhibits the alpha-GalCer-induced IFN-gamma and IL-4 production by splenic Valpha14 NKT ce...
متن کاملP38: The Immunoregulatory Effect of Cyclic Dinucleotides on Human Immune Cells
In multiple sclerosis (MS) beneficial effects have been assigned to the interferon (IFN)-I subclass IFN-ß, making its administration a first-line disease-modifying treatment in MS. IFN-I responses can be induced by cyclic-dinucleotide (CDN) triggered activation of Stimulator-of-interferon-genes (STING) and have essential immunomodulatory effects. A beneficial effect of STING activation on...

Objective(s) Previous studies have demonstrated that the nitric oxide (NO) dependent death of murine peritoneal macrophages activated in vitro with IFN-g and LPS is mediated through apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated the synergistic effect of LPS, IFN-g and iron on NO production and apoptosis. Materials and Methods After determination of iron cytotoxicity, the peritoneal macrop...
