Although dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent
antigen-presenting cells involved in numerous physiologic and
pathologic processes, little is known about the signaling pathways that
regulate DC activation and antigen-presenting function. Recently, we
demonstrated that nuclear factor (NF)- B activation is
central to that process, as overexpression of I B blocks the
allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR), an in vitro model of T-cell
activation. In this study, we investigated the role of 2 putative
NF- B-inducing components, NF- B-inducing kinase (NIK), and I B
kinase 2 (IKK2). Using an adenoviral gene transfer method to
efficiently express dominant-negative (dn) forms of these molecules in
monocyte-derived DCs, we found that IKK2dn but not NIKdn inhibited the
allogeneic MLR. When DCs were fixed, this inhibitory effect of
IKK2dn was lost, suggesting that IKK2 is involved in T-cell-derived
signals that enhance DC antigen presentation during the allogeneic MLR
period and does not have an effect on viability or differentiation
state of DCs prior to coculture with T cells. One such signal is likely
to be CD40 ligand (CD40L), as IKK2dn blocked CD40L but not
lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NF- B activation, cytokine
production, and up-regulation of costimulatory molecules and HLA-DR in
DCs. In summary, our results demonstrate that IKK2 is essential for DC
activation induced by CD40L or contact with allogeneic T cells,
but not by LPS, whereas NIK is not required for any of these signals.
In addition, our results support IKK2 as a potential therapeutic target
for the down-regulation of unwanted immune responses that may occur
during transplantation or autoimmunity.
