Exogenous Thyropin from p41 Invariant Chain Diminishes Cysteine Protease Activity and Affects IL-12 Secretion during Maturation of Human Dendritic Cells.
Dendritic cells (DC) play a pivotal role as antigen presenting cells (APC) and their maturation is crucial for effectively eliciting an antigen-specific immune response. The p41 splice variant of MHC class II-associated chaperone, called invariant chain p41 Ii, contains an amino acid sequence, the p41 fragment, which is a thyropin-type inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes. The effects of exogenous ...
متن کاملMHC class II and invariant chain biosynthesis and transport during maturation of human precursor dendritic cells.
Dendritic cells (DC) are highly potent activators of the immune response. The precise mechanisms that give rise to the DC phenotype are not known. To investigate the mechanisms that contribute to the generation of the DC phenotype, precursor DC were freshly isolated from human blood and allowed to mature in vitro. These matured DC showed the phenotypical and functional characteristics of DC. An...
متن کاملExposure of myeloid dendritic cells to exogenous or endogenous IL-10 during maturation determines their longevity.
Dendritic cells (DC) are essential for the initiation of primary adaptive immune responses, and their functionality is strongly down-modulated by IL-10. Both innate and adaptive immune signals trigger the up-regulation of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family members to facilitate the survival of DCs after maturation. However, whether IL-10 alters the expression of apoptotic-related genes in maturing DCs ...
متن کاملExtracellular acidosis triggers the maturation of human dendritic cells and the production of IL-12.
Although the development of an acidic tissue environment or acidosis is a hallmark of inflammatory processes, few studies analyze the effect of extracellular pH on immune cells. We have previously shown that exposure of murine dendritic cells (DCs) to pH 6.5 stimulates macropinocytosis and cross-presentation of extracellular Ags by MHC class I molecules. We report that the transient exposure of...
متن کاملDexmedetomidine Inhibits Maturation and Function of Human Cord Blood-Derived Dendritic Cells by Interfering with Synthesis and Secretion of IL-12 and IL-23.
AIMS To investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of dexmedetomidine on the cultured human dendritic cells (DCs). METHODS Human DCs and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) were obtained from human cord blood mononuclear cells by density gradient centrifugation. Cultured DCs were divided into three groups: dexmedetomidine group, dexmedetomidine plus yohimbine (dexmedetomidine inhibitor) grou...
