In human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC), infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and viruses or stimulation with Toll-like receptor type 3 and 4 agonists causes the release of type I interferon (IFN). Here, we describe that the IFN-beta released upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) is responsible for a rapid and sustained signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 and 2 activation and expression of IFN-stimulated genes, such as the transcription factor IFN regulatory factor 7 and the chemokine CXC chemokine ligand 10. The autocrine production of IFN-beta from LPS and poly I:C-matured DC (mDC) induced a temporary saturation of the response to type I IFN and a marked decline in the level of the two IFN receptor (IFNAR) subunits. It is interesting that we found that upon clearing of the released cytokines, LPS-stimulated DC reacquired full responsiveness to IFN-beta but only partial responsiveness to IFN-alpha, and their maturation process was unaffected. Monitoring of surface and total levels of the receptor subunits showed that maximal expression of IFNAR2 resumed within 24 h of clearing, and IFNAR1 expression remained low. Thus, mDC can modulate their sensitivity to two IFN subtypes through a differential regulation of the IFNAR subunits.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).
