Several hematopoietic growth factors, including interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor1 (TGF-1), promote the differentiation of tolerogenic dendritic cells (DCs). Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic cytokine and its effects on human DC differentiation and function have not been investigated. Monocytes cultured with HGF (HGFMo), differentiated into accessory cells with DC features, released low amounts of IL-12p70 and up-regulated IL-10 both at the mRNA and at the protein level. Upon activation with HGF-DCs, allogeneic CD4+CD25- T cells expressed the T regulatory (Treg)-associated transcription factor FoxP3, proliferated poorly and released high levels of IL-10. Interestingly, blockade of surface ILT3 on (HGFMo) or neutralization of secreted IL-10 translated into partial restoration of T-cell proliferation. Secondary stimulation of HGF-DC-primed CD4+ T cells with immunogenic DCs differentiated with GM-CSF and IL-4 from monocytes of the same donor resulted in measurable T-cell proliferation. (HGFMo)-primed CD4+ T cells significantly inhibited the proliferation of naive CD4+CD25- T cells in a cell contact-dependent manner. Finally, DNA microarray analysis revealed a unique gene expression profile of HGF-activated monocytes. Collectively, our findings point to a novel role for HGF in the regulation of monocyte/DC functions that might be exploited therapeutically.
