TLR ligands induce synergistic interferon-β and interferon-λ1 gene expression in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
Molecular Immunology 2011 January
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern-recognition receptors of the innate immune system that recognize various pathogen-associated molecules. TLR ligands are potent activators of immune cells and certain TLR ligands have a synergistic ability to induce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In the present study we have analyzed the potential synergy between TLR3, TLR4 and TLR7/8 ligands in type I and type III interferon (IFN) gene expression in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs). We show that stimulation of moDCs with TLR7/8 ligand R848 together with TLR3 or TLR4 ligands, polyI:C or LPS, respectively, leads to a synergistic expression of IFN-β and IFN-λ1 mRNAs. Neutralization of type I IFNs as well as IFN priming prior to stimulation suggest that IFN-dependent positive feedback loop is at least partly responsible for the mechanism of synergy. Enhanced expression of TLR3 and especially TLR7, which are both under the regulation of type I IFNs, correlated to synergistic TLR ligand-dependent induction of IFN-β and IFN-λ1 genes. NF-κB, PI3 kinase and MAP kinase pathways were involved in TLR ligand-induced IFN gene expression as evidenced by pharmacological signaling inhibitors. The data indicates that IFNs contribute to TLR-dependent gene activation in human DCs stimulated with multiple TLR ligands.
