Dendritic cells (DCs) and chemokines are important in linking innate and adaptive immunity. We previously reported that Fas ligation induced interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta)-dependent maturation and IL-1beta-independent survival of DCs, with extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling pathways involved, respectively. We describe here that Fas ligation induced DCs to rapidly produce both CXC and CC chemokines, including macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2), MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted), and TARC (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine), resulting in enhanced chemoattraction of neutrophils and T cells by Fas-ligated DCs in vivo or by its supernatant in vitro. These chemokines work synergistically in chemoattraction of neutrophils and T cells with MIP-2 more important for neutrophils, MIP-1alpha and TARC more important for T cells. Moreover, Fas-ligated DCs increased endocytosis by neutrophils and activation and proliferation of antigen-specific naive T cells. Fas ligation-induced DC secretion of chemokines involves Ras/Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/ERK activation and is ERK, but not NF-kappaB, dependent. Activation of caspases, including caspase 1, but not IL-1 autocrine action, is involved in this process. These data indicate that Fas signaling provides a key link between innate response and adaptive immunity by promoting DC chemokine production.
