pubmed:abstractText |
Respiratory failure during Pneumocystis pneumonia is mainly a consequence of exaggerated inflammatory responses to the organism. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent APCs in the lung and are key to the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. However, their participation in the inflammatory response directed against Pneumocystis infection has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we studied the role of Pneumocystis carinii, as well as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cell wall-derived beta-glucans, in DC costimulatory molecule expression. We further studied the impact of beta-glucans on subsequent T cell activation. Because cytokine secretion by DCs has recently been shown to be regulated by Fas ligand (FasL), its role in beta-glucan activation of DCs was also investigated. beta-Glucan-induced DC activation occurred in part through dectin-1 receptors. We demonstrated that DC activation by beta-glucans elicits T cell activation and polarization into a Th1 patterned response, but with the conspicuous absence of IL-12. These observations differed from LPS-driven T cell polarization, suggesting that beta-glucans and LPS signal DC activation through different mechanisms. We additionally determined that IL-1beta and TNF-alpha secretion by beta-glucan-stimulated DCs was partially regulated by Fas-FasL. This suggests that dysregulation of FasL could further enhance exuberant and prolonged cytokine production by DCs following DC-T cell interactions, further promoting lung inflammation typical of Pneumocystis pneumonia.
