PG - 112-21 LID - 10.1182/blood-2011-12-399931 [doi] AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) are essential in inducing adaptive immune responses against bacteria by expressing cytokines that skew T-cell responses toward protective Th17 cells. Although it is widely recognized that induction of these cytokines by DCs involves activation of multiple receptors, it is still incompletely characterized which combination of receptors specifically skews Th17-cell responses. Here we have identified a novel role for FcgammaRIIa in promoting human Th17 cells. Activation of DCs by bacteria opsonized by serum IgG strongly promoted Th17 responses, which was FcgammaRIIa-dependent and coincided with enhanced production of selected cytokines by DCs, including Th17-promoting IL-1beta and IL-23. Notably, FcgammaRIIa stimulation on DCs did not induce cytokine production when stimulated individually, but selectively amplified cytokine responses through synergy with TLR2, 4, or 5. Importantly, this synergy is mediated at 2 different levels. First, TLR-FcgammaRIIa costimulation strongly increased transcription of pro-IL-1beta and IL-23p19. Second, FcgammaRIIa triggering induced activation of caspase-1, which cleaves pro-IL-1beta into its bioactive form and thereby enhanced IL-1beta secretion. Taken together, these data identified cross-talk between TLRs and FcgammaRIIa as a novel mechanism by which DCs promote protective effector Th17-cell responses against bacteria.
