The mature dendritic cell (DC) is considered to be the most potent antigen-presenting cell. Regulation of the DC, particularly its survival, is therefore critical. Mature DC are markedly more sensitive to HLA-DR-mediated apoptosis than immature DC. To further characterize this key survival difference, we compared the intracellular signals initiated via HLA-DR in mature versus immature DC. Apoptosis was unchanged by inhibition of tyrosine kinases or phosphatases. HLA-DR-mediated re-localization of protein kinase C (PKC)-
to the nucleus was detected in mature DC by confocal microscopy and by immunoblotting. Activation of PKC- in mature DC was revealed by the detection of the PKC- catalytic fragment in the nuclear fraction isolated from mature DC which had been stimulated via HLA-DR. The broad-spectrum PKC inhibitor, Calphostin C, as well as the PKC--selective inhibitor, Rottlerin, inhibited HLA-DR-mediated apoptosis of mature cells. Taken together, these data reveal a role for the PKC- isoenzyme in regulating HLA class II-mediated apoptosis of mature DC. Thus, the lifespan of the mature DC could be controlled by signals generated in the course of antigen presentation, and thereby prevent DC persistence and prolonged stimulation of T and B lymphocytes.
