説明

<jats:p> Several classes of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) with different immune stimulatory profiles were recently identified: the A-, B- and C-classes. In this study, we investigated the CpG-dependent stimulation of IFN-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10 or CXCL10) in different human immune cell types. CpG ODNs induced IP-10 in monocytes, pDCs and in B cells. Purified B cells as well as RPMI 8226 cells responded to CpG stimulation by IP-10 production. Treatment with exogenous IFN-α2b sensitized PBMCs, purified B cells as well as RPMI 8226 cells to respond more efficiently to stimulation with CpG ODNs by IP-10 production. IP-10 signaling could be directly stimulated via TLR9 in CpG-unresponsive HEK293 cells transfected with human TLR9 and an IP-10 reporter construct. Therefore, CpG-mediated IP-10 production is stimulated through IFN-α in cells that express the IFN-α receptor, a second pathway for IP-10 induction exists in TLR9-expressing B cells and pDCs where IP-10 is stimulated directly upon CpG-mediated TLR9 signaling. Our data provide a better understanding of the mechanisms through which CpG ODNs induce efficient Th1 responses. </jats:p>
