IL-1ß induces dendritic cells to produce IL-12

The cytokine IL-12, a product of dendritic cells (DC), plays a major role in cellular immunity, notably by inducing lymphocytes to produce IFN-{gamma}. Microbial products, T cell signals and cytokines induce the production of IL-12. Here, IL-1ß is identified as a new IL-12-inducing agent, acting conjointly with CD40 ligand (CD40L) on human monocyte-derived DC in vitro. The effects of IL-1ß were dose dependent, specifically blocked by neutralizing antibodies, and were observed both in immature and mature DC. Immature DC secreted more IL-12 than mature DC, but the effects of IL-1ß were not due to a block of DC maturation as determined by analysis of DC surface markers. The mechanisms of action of IL-1ß could be contrasted to that of other inducers of IL-12 such as IFN-{gamma} and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Either IL-1ß or IFN-{gamma} co-induced IL-12 with CD40L but conjointly, IL-1ß, CD40L and IFN-{gamma} synergized, inducing very high levels of IL-12. The effects of IL-1ß differed from those of LPS in that IL-1ß, unlike LPS, could not induce IL-12 solely after IFN-{gamma} priming; and when combined with CD40L, IL-1ß, unlike LPS, induced little IL-10. The mechanism of action of IL-1ß involves IL-12{alpha} mRNA up-regulation, and we show that the combination of CD40L and IL-1ß induces high levels of IL-12{alpha} and IL-12ß mRNA in DC. Altogether, these results delineate a new mechanism linking adaptive and innate immune responses for the regulation of IL-12 production in DC and for the role of IL-1ß in the development of cellular immunity.
