Ganglioside GD1a impedes lipopolysaccharide-induced maturation of human dendritic cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Immunosuppressive membrane gangliosides are released by tumor cells and inhibit normal antigen presenting cell (APC) function. To better understand this process, we have studied the effect of gangliosides on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced maturation of human dendritic cells (DCs). Immature DCs were generated in vitro from human peripheral blood monocytes and were exposed for 72 h to a highly purified ganglioside, G(D1a). During the last 24 h, LPS was added to effect maturation. As assessed by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis, incubation in 50 microM G(D1a) significantly blunted the LPS-induced maturation of the dendritic cells. The expected up-regulation of expression of the co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 was ablated and that of CD40 was reduced, as were surface CD83 expression and intracellular CD208 production. In addition, ganglioside pretreatment of DC markedly inhibited the allostimulatory capacity and partially prevented the down-regulation of FITC-dextran uptake characteristic of LPS-activated DC. Furthermore, ganglioside-exposed DC also evidenced a broad down-regulation of the cytokine release that is normally initiated by LPS exposure, i.e., there was no increase in IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha release. That a common mechanism may underlie these defects was suggested by the finding that G(D1a) exposure of DC also inhibited the nuclear binding of NF-kappa B that is normally induced by LPS. These results suggest that tumor gangliosides may blunt the anti-tumor immune response in vivo by binding and interfering with dendritic cell maturation. 相似文献

The costimulatory molecule B7.2 (CD86) plays a vital role in immune activation and development of Th responses. The molecular mechanisms by which B7.2 expression is regulated are not understood. We investigated the role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in the regulation of B7.2 expression in LPS-stimulated human monocytic cells. LPS stimulation of human monocytes resulted in the down-regulation of B7.2 expression that could be abrogated by anti-IL-10 Abs. Furthermore, SB202190, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK, inhibited LPS-induced IL-10 production and reversed B7.2 down-regulation, suggesting that LPS-induced B7.2 down-regulation may be mediated, at least in part, via regulation of IL-10 production by p38 MAPK. In contrast to human promonocytic THP-1 cells that are refractory to the inhibitory effects of IL-10, LPS stimulation enhanced B7.2 expression. This IL-10-independent B7.2 induction was not influenced by specific inhibitors of either p38 or p42/44 MAPK. To ascertain the role of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) MAPK, dexamethasone, an inhibitor of JNK activation, was used, which inhibited LPS-induced B7.2 expression. Transfection of THP-1 cells with a plasmid expressing a dominant-negative stress-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase 1 significantly reduced LPS-induced B7.2 expression, thus confirming the involvement of JNK. To study the signaling events downstream of JNK activation, we show that dexamethasone did not inhibit LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation in THP-1 cells, suggesting that JNK may not be involved in NF-kappaB activation leading to B7.2 expression. Taken together, our results reveal the distinct involvement of p38 in IL-10-dependent, and JNK in IL-10-independent regulation of B7.2 expression in LPS-stimulated monocytic cells. 相似文献

Abstract Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) induces the production of mediators of inflammation, which exerts pathophysiological effects such as fever or shock in mammals. In the present study we have investigated the modulation of LPS by the synthetic non-active tetraacylated precursor Ia of lipid A (compound 406) in the induction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin 1 (IL-1) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and in human peripheral blood monocytes (PBMo). PBMC stimulated with LPS released TNF in a concentration dependent manner. Release of biologically active TNF, IL-1 and IL-6 was first detectable 4 h after LPS stimulation. Compound 406 alone in all concentrations tested did not induce TNF, IL-1 or IL-6 release, intracellular TNF or IL-1β, or mRNA for TNF or IL-1. Added to PBMC 1 h before LPS compound 406 enhanced or suppressed TNF release and suppressed IL-1 and IL-6 release depending on the ratio of concentrations between stimulator (LPS) and modulator (compound 406). In contrast to LPS stimulation alone TNF, IL-1 and IL-6 release in presence of compound 406 was delayed and first detectable after 6 to 8 h. Compound 406 was able to suppress LPS-induced intracellular TNF and IL-1β in PBMC. Added to PBMo 1 h before LPS it totally inhibited the production of mRNA for TNF and IL-1. When added to PBMC 1 h after LPS, TNF release was suppressed in a concentration-dependent way and release of biologically active TNF, IL-1 and IL-6 could again be detected for the first time after 4 h. Compound 406 was not able to inhibit phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced TNF and IL-1 release in PBMo which suggests that its modulating effect is LPS-specific. This study provides evidence that the modulating effect of compound 406 on the LPS induction of TNF, IL-, 1 and IL-6 could be due to competitive binding. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide and interleukin 1 inhibit interferon-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression on human monocytes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The objectives of these studies were to study the effects of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-induced Fc receptor expression on human monocytes and to examine whether these effects were mediated through stimulation of interleukin 1 (IL-1) production. Fc receptor expression was determined by binding of monomeric monoclonal murine immunoglobulin (Ig)G2a and cytofluorographic analysis. IL-1 activity in monocyte supernatants and lysates was assayed by augmentation of mitogen-induced murine thymocyte proliferation. IFN-gamma induced the expression of Fc receptors on human monocytes that were specific for murine IgG2a. This induction was inhibited by the addition of LPS in amounts as low as 2 to 8 pg/ml. LPS inhibition of IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression was paralleled by the appearance of IL-1 in monocyte lysates and supernatants. The addition of purified human or recombinant IL-1 beta at the initiation of culture similarly inhibited the expression of IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptors on the monocytes. LPS also inhibited Fc receptor expression on the human myelomonocytic cell line THP-1 after induction with IFN-gamma or phorbol myristate acetate alone or with both agents together. This inhibition also was paralleled by the production of IL-1 but the addition of exogenous IL-1 to the THP-1 cells had no effect on IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibited IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression on human monocytes but was much less potent than comparable amounts of IL-1. TNF also did not inhibit Fc receptor expression on THP-1 cells. In fact, IL-1 or TNF led to an enhancement in IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression on THP-1 cells. These results indicate that LPS can inhibit IFN-gamma-induced Fc receptor expression on human monocytes and that IL-1 and TNF may mediate these effects of LPS. Thus, an autocrine or paracrine role is suggested for these cytokines. The possibility exists that intracellular IL-1 resulting from LPS stimulation may be at least in part responsible for inhibition of Fc receptor expression. 相似文献

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a powerful activator of the innate immune system. Exposure to LPS induces an inflammatory reaction in the lung mediated primarily by human blood monocytes and alveolar macrophages, which release an array of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines including IL-8, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6. The signaling mechanisms utilized by LPS to stimulate the release of cytokines and chemokines are still incompletely understood. Pretreatment with the protein tyrosine kinase-specific inhibitors genistein and herbimycin A effectively blocked LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation as well as IL-8 gene expression in human peripheral blood monocytes. However, when genistein was added 2 min after the addition of LPS, no inhibition was observed. Utilizing a coimmunoprecipitation assay, we further showed that LPS-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) may be involved in downstream signaling events induced by LPS. These findings provide evidence that LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation and IL-8 gene expression use a signaling pathway requiring protein tyrosine kinase and that such regulation may occur through tyrosine phosphorylation of TLR4. 相似文献

The trace element zinc affects several aspects of immune function, such as the release of proinflammatory cytokines from monocytes. We investigated the role of cyclic nucleotide signaling in zinc inhibition of LPS-induced TNF-alpha and IL-1beta release from primary human monocytes and the monocytic cell line Mono Mac1. Zinc reversibly inhibited enzyme activity of phosphodiesterase-1 (PDE-1), PDE-3, and PDE-4 in cellular lysate. It additionally reduced mRNA expression of PDE-1C, PDE-4A, and PDE-4B in intact cells. Although these PDE can also hydrolyze cAMP, only the cellular level of cGMP was increased after incubation with zinc, whereas cAMP was found to be even slightly reduced due to inhibition of its synthesis. To investigate whether an increase in cGMP alone is sufficient to inhibit cytokine release, the cGMP analogues 8-bromo-cGMP and dibutyryl cGMP as well as the NO donor S-nitrosocysteine were used. All three treatments inhibited TNF-alpha and IL-1beta release after stimulation with LPS. Inhibition of soluble guanylate cyclase-mediated cGMP synthesis with LY83583 reversed the inhibitory effect of zinc on LPS-induced cytokine release. In conclusion, inhibition of PDE by zinc abrogates the LPS-induced release of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta by increasing intracellular cGMP levels. 相似文献

Inflammatory responses of human peripheral blood monocytes to the Gram-negative endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are enhanced by structurally diverse substances, such as anionic polysaccharides or cationic polypeptides. Only a few substances are known to effectively blunt LPS-induced monocyte activation. We now show that synthetic poly-L-histidine (Hn) binds to LPS and abrogates the release of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) in LPS-stimulated human whole blood. LPS-induced stimulation of monocytes was strictly pH-dependent with only minor amounts of IL-8 secreted in acidic blood. Maximum levels of IL-8 secretion occurred at a strongly basic pH. Hn inhibition of the release of IL-8 from LPS-stimulated monocytes was observed under acidic, neutral and physiological conditions. With increasing alkalosis, the effectiveness of Hn was gradually lost, suggesting that protonated, but not deprotonated, Hn was effective in inhibiting LPS-induced monocyte responses. Histidine-rich protein 2 from the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, inhibited the ability of LPS to evoke an inflammatory response in CD14-transfected THP-1 cells. Further, a short synthetic peptide derived from human histidine- and proline-rich glycoprotein also exhibited LPS-inhibitory effects in CD14 transfectants. Taken together, these observations demonstrate the capacity of histidine-rich peptides, irrespective of their origin, to neutralize LPS-induced proinflammatory host responses. 相似文献

Interaction of CD44, an adhesion molecule, with its ligand, hyaluronan (HA), in monocytic cells plays a critical role in cell migration, inflammation, and immune responses. Most cell types express CD44 but do not bind HA. The biological functions of CD44 have been attributed to the generation of the functionally active, HA-adhesive form of this molecule. Although lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cytokines induce HA-adhesive CD44, the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains unknown. In this study, we show that LPS-induced CD44-mediated HA (CD44-HA) binding in monocytes is regulated by endogenously produced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and IL-10. Furthermore, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation was required for LPS- and TNF-alpha-induced, but not IL-10-induced, CD44-HA-binding in normal monocytes. To dissect the signaling pathways regulating CD44-HA binding independently of cross-regulatory IL-10-mediated effects, IL-10-refractory promonocytic THP-1 cells were employed. LPS-induced CD44-HA binding in THP-1 cells was regulated by endogenously produced TNF-alpha. Our results also suggest that lysosomal sialidase activation may be required for the acquisition of the HA-binding form of CD44 in LPS- and TNF-alpha-stimulated monocytic cells. Studies conducted to understand the role of MAPKs in the induction of sialidase activity revealed that LPS-induced sialidase activity was dependent on p42/44 MAPK-mediated TNF-alpha production. Blocking TNF-alpha production by PD98059, a p42/44 inhibitor, significantly reduced the LPS-induced sialidase activity and CD44-HA binding. Subsequently, TNF-alpha-mediated p38 MAPK activation induced sialidase activity and CD44-HA binding. Taken together, our results suggest that TNF-alpha-induced p38 MAPK activation may regulate the induction of functionally active HA-binding form of CD44 by activating sialidase in LPS-stimulated human monocytic cells. 相似文献

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated immune responses, including activation of monocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells, play an important role in the pathogenesis of Gram-negative bacteria-induced sepsis syndrome. Activation of NF-kappaB is thought to be required for cytokine release from LPS-responsive cells, a critical step for endotoxic effects. Here we investigated the role and involvement of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) signal transducer molecules in LPS signaling in human dermal microvessel endothelial cells (HDMEC) and THP-1 monocytic cells. LPS stimulation of HDMEC and THP-1 cells initiated an IL-1 receptor-like NF-kappaB signaling cascade. In transient cotransfection experiments, dominant negative mutants of the IL-1 signaling pathway, including MyD88, IRAK, IRAK2, and TRAF6 inhibited both IL-1- and LPS-induced NF-kappaB-luciferase activity. LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation was not inhibited by a dominant negative mutant of TRAF2 that is involved in TNF signaling. LPS-induced activation of NF-kappaB-responsive reporter gene was not inhibited by IL-1 receptor antagonist. TLR2 and TLR4 were expressed on the cell surface of HDMEC and THP-1 cells. These findings suggest that a signal transduction molecule in the LPS receptor complex may belong to the IL-1 receptor/toll-like receptor (TLR) super family, and the LPS signaling cascade uses an analogous molecular framework for signaling as IL-1 in mononuclear phagocytes and endothelial cells. 相似文献

Although c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) plays an important role in cytokine expression, its function in IL-12 production is obscure. The present study uses human macrophages to examine whether the JNK pathway is required for LPS-induced IL-12 production and defines how JNK is involved in the regulation of IL-12 production by glutathione redox, which is the balance between intracellular reduced (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). We found that LPS induced IL-12 p40 protein and mRNA in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in PMA-treated THP-1 macrophages, and that LPS activated JNK and p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase, in PMA-treated THP-1 cells. Inhibition of p38 MAP kinase activation using SB203580 dose dependently repressed LPS-induced IL-12 p40 production, as described. Conversely, inhibition of JNK activation using SP600125 dose dependently enhanced both LPS-induced IL-12 p40 production from THP-1 cells and p70 production from human monocytes. Furthermore, JNK antisense oligonucleotides attenuated cellular levels of JNK protein and LPS-induced JNK activation, but augmented IL-12 p40 protein production and mRNA expression. Finally, the increase in the ratio of GSH/GSSG induced by glutathione reduced form ethyl ester (GSH-OEt) dose dependently enhanced LPS-induced IL-12 p40 production in PMA-treated THP-1 cells. GSH-OEt augmented p38 MAP kinase activation, but suppressed the JNK activation induced by LPS. Our findings indicate that JNK negatively affects LPS-induced IL-12 production from human macrophages, and that glutathione redox regulates LPS-induced IL-12 production through the opposite control of JNK and p38 MAP kinase activation. 相似文献

Wheat germ agglutinin and other selected lectins increase synthesis of decay-accelerating factor in human endothelial cells. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Decay accelerating factor (DAF) is a cell-surface phosphatidylinositol-anchored protein that protects the cell from inadvertent complement attack by binding to and inactivating C3 and C5 convertases. We have measured DAF on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by immunoradiometric assay after its removal by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C or Nonidet P-40 detergent extraction and have previously demonstrated that DAF synthesis can be stimulated by phorbol ester activation of protein kinase C. We now report that although stimulation (4-48 h) of HUVEC with various cytokines, including TNF, IL-1, and IFN-gamma, did not alter DAF levels, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) (5-50 micrograms/ml), a lectin specific for binding N-acetyl neuraminic acid and N-acetyl glucosamine residues, increased DAF levels fivefold when incubated with HUVEC for 12 to 24 h. The lectins Con A and PHA also stimulated DAF expression twofold, whereas a number of others including Ulex europaeus, Bandeiraea simplicifolia lectin I, and Ricinus communis agglutinin I, which bind to endothelial cells, were inactive. The increase in DAF by WGA was inhibited by N-acetyl glucosamine (10-50 mM) but by neither N-acetyl neuraminic acid nor removal of surface N-acetyl neuraminic acid with neuraminidase. However, succinylated WGA, which has unaltered affinity for N-acetyl glucosamine but not longer binds N-acetyl neuraminic acid, was inactive. These data suggest that the binding of WGA to sugar residues alone is not sufficient to trigger DAF expression and that occupation of additional, specific sites are required. The increase in DAF levels on HUVEC was blocked by inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis. We conclude that continuous occupation by WGA of specific binding sites on HUVEC triggers events leading to DAF synthesis. This unique, long term stimulation of endothelial cells by lectins may be relevant to cell:cell interactions at the endothelium. 相似文献

Janus kinase 3 down-regulates lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-1 beta-converting enzyme activation by autocrine IL-10 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

ProIL-1 beta processing by IL-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE) and the subsequent release of mature IL-1 beta are highly regulated events in the monocyte/macrophage response to pathogens. This process occurs in a controlled way through the activation of the constitutively expressed 45-kDa ICE precursor (proICE). To characterize the signaling pathways involved in ICE regulation in human monocytes/macrophages, we analyzed ICE activation in the presence of specific inhibitors of classic signaling pathways. Although LPS-induced ICE activity was not significantly affected by interruption of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38 kinase, or phosphoinositol 3-kinase, Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) inhibition produced a significant dose-dependent enhancement of LPS-induced ICE activity. Support for the inhibitory role of JAK3 was shown by the fact that IL-4 (which uses JAK1 and JAK3 signaling) suppressed LPS-induced ICE activity and by the finding that JAK3 knockout macrophages have increased LPS-induced ICE activation. To understand how JAK3 down-regulates LPS-induced ICE activity in monocytes, we hypothesized that JAK3 signaling enhances IL-10 production. In support of this model we show that LPS-induced IL-10 expression was synchronous with ICE deactivation, IL-4 induced the release of IL-10, exogenous IL-10 suppressed LPS-induced ICE activity, a neutralizing IL-10 Ab increased LPS-induced ICE activity, and, finally, JAK3 knockout macrophages displayed significantly reduced LPS-induced IL-10 production. These findings support a model in which JAK3 signaling enhances IL-10 production leading to down-regulation of ICE activation and suppression of IL-1 beta processing and release. 相似文献

IL-9 inhibits oxidative burst and TNF-alpha release in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human monocytes through TGF-beta 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

IL-9 is a Th2 cytokine that exerts pleiotropic activities on T cells, B cells, mast cells, hematopoietic progenitors, and lung epithelial cells, but no effect of this cytokine has been reported so far on mononuclear phagocytes. Human blood monocytes preincubated with IL-9 for 24 h before LPS or PMA stimulation exhibited a decreased oxidative burst, even in the presence of IFN-gamma. The inhibitory effect of IL-9 was specifically abolished by anti-hIL-9R mAb, and the presence of IL-9 receptors was demonstrated on human blood monocytes by FACS. IL-9 also down-regulated TNF-alpha and IL-10 release by LPS-stimulated monocytes. In addition, IL-9 strongly up-regulated the production of TGF-beta1 by LPS-stimulated monocytes. The suppressive effect of IL-9 on the respiratory burst and TNF-alpha production in LPS-stimulated monocytes was significantly inhibited by anti-TGF-beta1, but not by anti-IL-10Rbeta mAb. Furthermore, IL-9 inhibited LPS-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinases in monocytes through a TGF-beta-mediated induction of protein phosphatase activity. In contrast, IL-4, which exerts a similar inhibitory effect on the oxidative burst and TNF-alpha release by monocytes, acts primarily through a down-regulation of LPS receptors. Thus, IL-9 deactivates LPS-stimulated blood mononuclear phagocytes, and the mechanism of inhibition involves the potentiation of TGF-beta1 production and extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibition. These findings highlight a new target cell for IL-9 and may account for the beneficial activity of IL-9 in animal models of exaggerated inflammatory response. 相似文献

In an attempt to define the mechanism by which endotoxin induces its biologic activity, LPS was incorporated into phospholipid vesicles (liposomes) and compared with free LPS for ability to stimulate human monocytes. Activation of human monocytes by free LPS caused the translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) from the cytosol to the plasma membranes, the production of both IL-1, alpha and beta, and IL-1 secretion. Activation by LPS presented in multilamellar vesicles (MLV)-LPS caused IL-1 production but not IL-1 secretion. Moreover, MLV-LPS did not induce PKC translocation. MLV themselves did not inhibit monocyte stimulation by LPS, since LPS presented at the surface of lyophilized liposomes behaved like free LPS in cell activation. In contrast, MLV-LPS primed monocytes for subsequent LPS stimulation. When monocytes were activated by LPS in the presence of PKC inhibitors, no plasma membrane-associated PKC or IL-1 secretion was detected, whereas IL-1 production was observed. PKC inhibitors did not affect IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta production, showing that PKC is not involved in the production of either IL-1. It can be concluded that IL-1 production and secretion are induced independently, and that IL-1 secretion involves PKC. 相似文献
