The phagocyte NADPH oxidase (NOX2) is critical for the bactericidal activity of phagocytic cells and plays a major role in innate immunity. We showed recently that NOX2 activity in mouse dendritic cells (DC) prevents acidification of phagosomes, promoting antigen cross-presentation. In order to investigate the role of NOX2 in the regulation of the phagosomal pH in human DC, we analyzed the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the phagosomal/endosomal pH in monocyte-derived DC and macrophages (M ) from healthy donors or chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) patients. As expected, we found that human M acidify their phagosomes more efficiently than human DC. Accordingly, the expression of the vacuolar proton ATPase (V-H+-ATPase) was higher in M than in DC. Phagosomal ROS production, however, was higher in M than in DC, due to higher levels of gp91phox expression and recruitment to phagosomes. In contrast, in the absence of active NOX2, the phagosomal and endosomal pH decreased. Both in the presence of a NOX2 inhibitor and in CGD patients-derived DC, the cross-presentation of two model tumor antigens was impaired. We conclude that NOX2 activity participates in the regulation of the phagosomal and endosomal pH in human DC, and is required for efficient antigen cross-presentation.
