Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling activates dendritic cells (DC) to secrete proinflammatory cytokines and up-regulate co-stimulatory molecule expression, thereby linking innate and adaptive immunity. A TLR-associated adapter protein, MyD88, is essential for cytokine production induced by TLR. However, in response to a TLR4 ligand, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), MyD88-deficient (MyD88–/–) DC can up-regulate co-stimulatory molecule expression and enhance their T cell stimulatory activity, indicating that the MyD88-independent pathway through TLR4 can induce some features of DC maturation. In this study, we have further characterized function of LPS-stimulated, MyD88–/– DC. In response to LPS, wild-type DC could enhance their ability to induce IFN-{gamma} production in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction (alloMLR). In contrast, in response to LPS, MyD88–/– DC augmented their ability to induce IL-4 instead of IFN-{gamma} in alloMLR. Impaired production of Th1-inducing cytokines in MyD88–/– DC cannot fully account for their increased Th2 cell-supporting ability, because absence of Th1-inducing cytokines in DC caused impairment of IFN-{gamma}, but did not lead to augmentation of IL-4 production in alloMLR. In vivo experiments with adjuvants also revealed Th2-skewed immune responses in MyD88–/– mice. These results demonstrate that the MyD88-independent pathway through TLR4 can confer on DC the ability to support Th2 immune responses.

Keywords: dendritic cells, innate immunity, lipopolysaccharide, Th1, Th2, Toll-like receptor
