Stimulation of CD40 with purified soluble gp39 induces proinflammatory responses in human monocytes

CD40 is a glycoprotein of about 50 kDa that plays a crucial role in B cell growth and differentiation. It is found on the surface of B cells, follicular dendritic cells, monocytes, and some endothelial, epithelial, and carcinoma cells. Engagement of CD40 with anti-CD40 mAbs, gp39 expressed on the cell surface or soluble forms of gp39, primes B cells to efficiently respond to subsequent stimulatory signals leading to B cell proliferation, differentiation, and isotype switching. Peripheral monocytes also express CD40 on the cell surface and expression in increased following treatment with IFN-gamma. Using a soluble murine CD8/human gp39 fusion protein (sgp39) we have found that CD40 plays a crucial role in the regulation of monocyte function. Stimulation of human peripheral monocytes with sgp39 induced homotypic aggregation and significantly increased the expression of several cell- surface proteins including CD54, MHC class II, CD86, and CD40. Soluble gp39 also dramatically enhanced monocyte survival, preventing the onset of apoptosis that normally occurs upon withdrawal of serum. Finally, in the absence of any costimulatory molecules, sgp39 stimulated monocytes to produce TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, and IL-8. These results suggest that ligation of CD40 on human monocytes induces phenotypic changes that would be expected to influence T cell activation by the monocyte and also to enhance or prolong inflammatory responses.
