PG - 943-54 LID - 10.1159/000366311 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND/AIMS: Dendritic cells (DCs), antigen-presenting cells linking innate and adaptive immunity, are required for initiation of specific T cell-driven immune responses. Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) suppresses proinflammatory cytokine production in DCs, which limits T helper (Th1) polarization. PI3K is in part effective by downregulation of transcription factor NF-kappaB. Downstream signaling elements of PI3K include serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) and its phosphorylation target N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1). The present study explored whether SGK1 and NDRG1 play a role in the regulation of NF-kappaB and DC-maturation. METHODS: DCs were isolated from bone marrow (BMDCs) or spleen of mice lacking functional SGK1 (sgk1(-/-)) and corresponding wild type mice (sgk1(+/+)). Protein abundance was determined by Western blotting. Transcription was inhibited by siRNA. Abundance of maturation markers was quantified by flow cytometry. FITC-dextran uptake was determined to quantify phagocytosis. RESULTS: NDRG1 was similarly expressed in sgk1(+/+) and sgk1(-/-)BMDCs, but SGK1-dependent phosphorylation of NDRG-1 was decreased in sgk1(-/-)BMDCs. Silencing of NDRG1 in sgk1(+/+)BMDCs as compared to control empty vector-treated BMDCs enhanced nuclear abundance of NF-kappaB subunit p65. Moreover, the abundance of phosphorylated NF-kappaB inhibitor IkappaBalpha, of phosphorylated IkappaB kinase (IKKalpha/beta) and of nuclear p65 were significantly higher in sgk1(-/-)BMDCs than in sgk1(+/+)BMDCs. Expression of maturation markers, MHC II, and CD86, was significantly larger and phagocytic capacity was significantly lower in sgk1(-/-) than in sgk1(+/+)BMDCs. Expression of CD86 and MHCII was also significantly higher in DCs isolated from the spleen of sgk1(-/-) mice than those from sgk1(+/+)mice. CONCLUSION: SGK1 and NDRG1 participate in the regulation of NF-kappaB signaling in and maturation of DCs. CI - (c) 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel.
