Abstract

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are ancient microbial pattern recognition receptors highly conserved from Drosophila to humans. To investigate if subsets of human dendritic cell precursors (pre-DC), including monocytes (pre-DC1), plasmacytoid DC precursors (pre-DC2), and CD11c+ immature DCs (imDCs) are developed to recognize different microbes or microbial antigens, we studied their TLR expression and responses to microbial antigens. We demonstrate that whereas monocytes preferentially express TLR 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8, plasmacytoid pre-DC strongly express TLR 7 and 9. In accordance with these TLR expression profiles, monocytes respond to the known microbial ligands for TLR2 (peptidoglycan [PGN], lipoteichoic acid) and TLR4 (lipopolysaccharide), by producing tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6. In contrast, plasmacytoid pre-DCs only respond to the microbial TLR9-ligand, CpG-ODNs (oligodeoxynucleotides [ODNs] containing unmethylated CpG motifs), by producing IFN-α. CD11c+ imDCs preferentially express TLR 1, 2, and 3 and respond to TLR 2-ligand PGN by producing large amounts of TNF-α, and to viral double-stranded RNA-like molecule poly I:C, by producing IFN-α and IL-12. The expression of distinct sets of TLRs and the corresponding difference in reactivity to microbial molecules among subsets of pre-DCs and imDCs support the concept that they have developed through distinct evolutionary pathways to recognize different microbial antigens.

Figure 2 Quantitation of TLR mRNA by real-time quantitative RT-PCR in freshly isolated monocytes (Mono), CD11c+ imDCs, and plasmacytoid pre-DCs (pDC), and in immature and mature DCs induced from them. Monocytes were cultured with 50 ng/ml GM-CSF and 200 U/ml IL-4 for 5 d to obtain imDC1 and were further stimulated with CD40L-transfected L cells for 24 h to obtain mDC1. CD11c+ imDCs were stimulated with CD40L-transfected L cells for 24 h to obtain mature CD11c+ DCs. Plasmacytoid pre-DCs were cultured with 10 ng/ml IL-3 for 5 d to obtain imDC2 and were further stimulated with CD40L-transfected L cells for 24 h to obtain mature DC2. The amounts of mRNA were quantitated by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, and were shown by arbitrary unit relative to the amount of ubiquitin mRNA. The data shown are representative of three experiments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
