TLDR
It is found that ligation of CD40 by CD40L triggers the production of extremely high levels of bioactive IL-12, which is the most potent stimulus in upregulating the expression of ICAM-1, CD80, and CD86 molecules on DCs.Abstract:
We investigated the possibility that T helper cells might enhance the stimulatory function of dendritic cells (DCs). We found that ligation of CD40 by CD40L triggers the production of extremely high levels of bioactive IL-12. Other stimuli such as microbial agents, TNF-alpha or LPS are much less effective or not at all. In addition, CD40L is the most potent stimulus in upregulating the expression of ICAM-1, CD80, and CD86 molecules on DCs. These effects of CD40 ligation result in an increased capacity of DCs to trigger proliferative responses and IFN-gamma production by T cells. These findings reveal a new role for CD40-CD40L interaction in regulating DC function and are relevant to design therapeutic strategies using cultured DCs.read more

Cytokines in the generation and maturation of dendritic cells: recent advances
Gang M Zou,Ying K Tam +1 more
TL;DR: The wide variety of cytokines and conditions that have been shown to be able to influence DC differentiation and activity to amply demonstrate the extreme heterogeneity found in the DC population is reflected in the diverse phenotypes, functions and ontogeny displayed by DCs.

Induction of Th2 cell differentiation in the primary immune response: dendritic cells isolated from adherent cell culture treated with IL-10 prime naive CD4+ T cells to secrete IL-4.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that early immunologic events that drive Th2 differentiation involve the effects of IL-10 on DC, one of the most potent antigen-presenting cells (APC) in priming naive T cells.

TL;DR: A cytokine-stimulating epitope is identified by activating DC with overlapping synthetic peptides derived from the sequence of mHSP70, and an inhibitory epitope was identified downstream from the peptide-binding groove that inhibits cytokine production and maturation of DC stimulated by HSP70 or CD40L.

Tgf-beta inhibits il-12-induced activation of jak-stat pathway in t lymphocytes
TL;DR: It is highlighted that TGF-beta inhibits IL-12-mediated responses by blocking IL- 12 signal transduction in T cells by inhibiting Jak kinases and tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT4 proteins.

Efficient presentation of soluble antigen by cultured human dendritic cells is maintained by granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor plus interleukin 4 and downregulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha.
TL;DR: Cultured DCs are as efficient as antigen-specific B cells in presenting tetanus toxoid (TT) to specific T cell clones and their efficiency of antigen presentation can be further enhanced by specific antibodies via FcR- mediated antigen uptake.

The dendritic cell system and its role in immunogenicity
TL;DR: Dendritic cells are specialized to mediate several physiologic components of immunogenicity such as the acquisition of antigens in tissues, the migration to lymphoid organs, and the identification and activation of antigen-specific T cells.

TL;DR: This regulatory pathway may have evolved to enable innate immune cells, through interactions with microbial pathogens, to direct development of specific immunity toward the appropriate TH1 phenotype.

Dendritic cells use macropinocytosis and the mannose receptor to concentrate macromolecules in the major histocompatibility complex class II compartment: downregulation by cytokines and bacterial products.
TL;DR: The capacity of DCs to capture and process antigen could be modulated by exogenous stimuli was investigated and it was found that DCs respond to tumor necrosis factor alpha, CD40 ligand, IL-1, and lipopolysaccharide with a coordinate series of changes that include downregulation of macropinocytosis and Fc receptors, disappearance of the class II compartment, and upregulation of adhesion and costimulatory molecules.

TL;DR: IL-12 and CD16+ cells appear to have inhibitory effects on the development of IL-4-producing cells and to play an inductive role in promoting Th1-like responses.
