Pneumococcal interaction with human dendritic cells: phagocytosis, survival, and induced adaptive immune response are manipulated by PavA.

چکیده
Dendritic cells (DCs) ingest and process bacteria for presenting their Ags to T cells. PavA (pneumococcal adherence and virulence factor A) is a key virulence determinant of pneumococci under in vivo conditions and was shown to modulate adherence of pneumococci to a variety of nonprofessional phagocytic host cells. Here, we demonstrated the role of PavA for the interaction of human DCs with live pneumococci and analyzed the induced host cell responses upon ingestion of viable pneumococci. Expression of PavA protected pneumococci against recognition and actin cytoskeleton-dependent phagocytosis by DCs compared with isogenic pavA mutants. A major proportion of internalized pneumococci were found in membrane-bound phagosomes. Pneumococcal phagocytosis promotes maturation of DCs, and both wild-type pneumococci and PavA-deficient pneumococci triggered production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, and TNF-alpha and antiinflammatory IL-10. However, cytokine production was delayed and reduced when DCs encounter pneumococci lacking PavA, which also results in a less efficient activation of the adaptive immune response. Strikingly, purified PavA reassociates to pneumococci but not DCs and reduced phagocytosis of the pavA mutant to levels similar to those of wild-type pneumococci. Additionally, pavA mutants covered with exogenously provided PavA protein induced a DC cytokine profile similar to wild-type pneumococci. In conclusion, these results suggest that PavA is key factor for live pneumococci to escape phagocytosis and to induce optimal cytokine productions by DCs and adaptive immune responses as well.

Dendritic Cells in Transplant Tolerance
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous family of professional APCs involved in priming adaptive immune responses. Donor DCs (direct pathway of allorecognition) and recipient DCs presenting processed donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as peptides (indirect pathway of allorecognition) participate actively in graft rejection by stimulating recipient T cell responses following organ tr...

Background & Aims: Dendritic cells are the most potent antigen presenting cells in induction or polarization of T-dependent immune responses. In cancerous patients, suppressive or detoured immune responses regard to tumor cells, prevent appropriate functions of dendritic cells. Nowadays, in vitro production, expansion and maturation of dendritic cells in presence of safe maturation factors whi...
متن کاملDendritic Cells and Their Role in Cancer Immunotherapy
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen presenting cells with unique capability to take up and process antigens in the peripheral blood and tissues. They subsequently migrate to draining lymph nodes where they present these antigens and stimulate naive T lympho-cytes. During their life cycle, DCs go through two maturation stages and are referred to as immature and mature cells, respectively. While im...

Introduction: Dendritic cells have a high potential in presentation of antigens and can be generated and manipulated in invitro culture conditions. Dendritic cells(DC) are therefore used in cancer immunotherapy, in prevention of graft rejection, treatment of allergy, autoimmune diseases and certain infectious diseases. Methods: Dendritic cell was generated in two stages. IN the first stage, m...
