Genetic modification of dendritic cell (DC) function is an attractive approach to treat disease; either using mature DCs (mDCs) to immunize patients, or immature DCs (iDCs) to induce tolerance. Viral vectors are efficient at transducing DCs, and we have investigated the effect of transduction with a variety of viral vectors on the phenotype and function of DCs. Adenovirus (Ad), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), equine anaemia virus (EIAV) and Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV) all upregulate co-stimulatory molecules and MHC class II expression on DC, as well as, in the case of Ad and lentiviral vectors, inducing production of Th1 and proinflammatory cytokines. Following transduction there is activation of dsRNA-triggered pathways resulting in IFN / production. In addition, the function of virally-infected DCs is altered; iDCs have an increased, and mDCs a decreased, ability to stimulate a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). Viral transduction of mDC results in upregulation of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) enzyme, which downregulates T cell responsiveness. Inhibition of IDO restores the ability of mDC to stimulate a MLR, indicating that IDO is responsible for the modulation of mDC function. These data have important implications for the use of viral vectors in the transduction of DC.
