The role of viral structural proteins in the initiation of adaptive immune responses is poorly understood. To address this issue, we focused on the effect of noninfectious papillomavirus-like particles (VLPs) on dendritic cell (DC) activation. We found that murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) effectively bound and rapidly internalized bovine papillomavirus VLPS: Exposure to fully assembled VLPs of bovine papillomavirus, human papillomavirus (HPV)16 or HPV18, but not to predominately disordered HPV16 capsomers, induced acute phenotypic maturation of BMDCS: Structurally similar polyomavirus VLPs bound to the DC surface and were internalized, but failed to induce maturation. DCs that had incorporated HPV16 VLPs produced proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha; however, the release of these cytokines was delayed relative to LPS activation. Production of IL-12p70 by VLP-exposed DCs required the addition of syngeneic T cells or rIFN-gamma. Finally, BMDCs pulsed with HPV16 VLPs induced Th1-dominated primary T cell responses in vitro. Our data provide evidence that DCs respond to intact papillomavirus capsids and that they play a central role in VLP-induced immunity. These results offer a mechanistic explanation for the striking ability of papillomavirus VLP-based vaccines to induce potent T and B cell responses even in the absence of adjuvant.
