PG - 974-82 AB - Piceatannol is an anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antiproliferative stilbene that has been shown to interfere with the cytokine signaling pathway. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal in the initiation of T-cell-mediated immune responses, making them an attractive cellular adjuvant for use in cancer vaccines. This study investigated the effect of piceatannol on the phenotypic and functional maturation of human monocyte-derived DCs in vitro. Human monocytes were cultured with GM-CSF and IL-4 for 6 days, followed by another 2 days in the presence of piceatannol or LPS. DCs harvested on day 8 were examined using functional assays. The expression levels of CD1a, CD80, CD83, and CD86 as expressed by mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) on DCs differentiated from immature DCs after culture with 1 muM of piceatannol for 2 days were enhanced and decreased endocytic activity. Piceatannol-treated DCs also displayed enhanced T-cell stimulatory capacity in a MLR, as measured by T-cell proliferation. Similar results were obtained with DCs differentiated with LPS from immature DCs. However, piceatannol did not inhibit phenotypic and functional maturation induced by LPS from immature DCs. Piceatannol-treated DCs induced the differentiation of naive T cells towards a helper T-cell type 1 (Th1) response at DCs/T (1:5) cells ratio depending on IL-12 secretion. These results demonstrate that piceatannol may be used on DC-based vaccine for cancer immunotherapy.
