چکیده

High mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1), a DNA binding nuclear and cytosolic protein, is a proinflammatory cytokine released by monocytes and macrophages. This study addressed the hypothesis that HMGB1 is an immunostimulatory signal that induces dendritic cell (DC) maturation. We show that HMGB1, via its B box domain, induced phenotypic maturation of DCs, as evidenced by increased CD83, CD54, CD80, CD40, CD58, and MHC class II expression and decreased CD206 expression. The B box caused increased secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-12, IL-6, IL-1alpha, IL-8, TNF-alpha, and RANTES. B box up-regulated CD83 expression as well as IL-6 secretion via a p38 MAPK-dependent pathway. In the MLR, B box-activated DCs acted as potent stimulators of allogeneic T cells, and the magnitude of the response was equivalent to DCs activated by exposure to LPS, nonmethylated CpG oligonucleotides, or CD40L. Furthermore, B box induced secretion of IL-12 from DCs as well as IL-2 and IFN-gamma secretion from allogeneic T cells, suggesting a Th1 bias. HMGB1 released by necrotic cells may be a signal of tissue or cellular injury that, when sensed by DCs, induces and/or enhances an immune reaction.

Release of high mobility group box 1 by dendritic cells controls T cell activation via the receptor for advanced glycation end products.

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is an abundant and conserved nuclear protein that is released by necrotic cells and acts in the extracellular environment as a primary proinflammatory signal. In this study we show that human dendritic cells, which are specialized in Ag presentation to T cells, actively release their own HMGB1 into the extracellular milieu upon activation. This secreted HMGB1 i...

The Effects of Candida Albicans Cell Wall Protein Fraction on Dendritic Cell Maturation

Back ground: Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microflora. C. albicans cell wall is composed of several protein and carbohydrate components which have been shown to play a crucial role in C. albicans interaction with the host immune system. Major components of C. albican cell wall are carbohydrates such as mannans, β glucans and chitins, and proteins that partially modulate the h...

How quantitative differences in dendritic cell maturation can direct TH1/TH2-cell polarization

The polarization of TH1 or TH2 responses by dendritic cells (DCs) requires distinct maturation conditions. Our data indicate that quantitative differences in DC maturation dictate a TH1 or TH2-cell polarization outcome. We discuss how chromatin remodeling at DC loci coding for pro-inflammatory vs. polarizing cytokines may explain differential TH-cell polarization.
