The human plasma protein 2-glycoprotein I (2-GPI) is the most common target for antiphospholipid antibodies associated with thrombotic events in chronic disorders related to endothelial cell dysfunction. Crucial information is needed to clarify why this self abundant protein is targeted by autoimmune responses. In this study we investigated whether oxidative modification of 2-GPI, either spontaneous in culture wells or induced by treatment with H2O2, renders this self-protein able to activate immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) from healthy human donors. Oxidized 2-GPI caused DCs to mature so that CD83 appeared and CD80, CD86, HLA-DR and CD40 increased. The interaction between oxidized 2-GPI and DCs specifically stimulated these cells to secrete IL-12, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, TNF- and IL-10. Oxidized 2-GPI-stimulated DCs had increased allostimulatory ability and primed naive T lymphocytes thus inducing Th1 polarization. The interaction between oxidized 2-GPI and DCs involved IRAK phosphorylation and NFB activation. Pre-treatment of 2-GPI with the antioxidant -tocopherol prevented DC maturation. These findings show that human oxidized 2-GPI, probably by interacting with a member of the TLR family, causes DCs to mature. Because this key 2-GPI function requires oxidative modification, in several chronic disorders related to endothelial cell dysfunction oxidative stress might trigger the "autoimmune spiral".
