Glucocorticoids Inhibit Bioactive IL-12p70 Production by In Vitro-Generated Human Dendritic Cells Without Affecting Their T Cell Stimulatory Potential1

Glucocorticoids (GC) are known to affect the immune response at several stages. However, little is known about how GC influence the initiation of the specific immune response at the level of dendritic cells (DC), the highly professional APC for T cells. Therefore, we studied whether GC modulate the cytokine production and T cell stimulatory function of DC. In LPS-stimulated DC, GC strongly reduced the secretion of the Th1-skewing factor IL-12p70 and, to a lesser extent, the production of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-{alpha}. Regarding the T cell stimulatory function of DC, GC did not influence the cell surface expression of HLA-DR or the costimulatory molecules CD40 and CD80 and did not influence the ability of DC to take up Ag. Consequently, GC pretreatment of DC indeed did not affect their ability to stimulate CD4+ Th cell proliferation in response to superantigen. However, as a result of their defective production of bioactive IL-12, GC-pretreated DC have a reduced ability to promote the production of IFN-{gamma} in CD4+ Th lymphocytes, as shown by the observation that IFN-{gamma} production could be restored by exogenous IL-12. In contrast, GC treatment of DC enhanced the secretion of the antiinflammatory cytokine IL-10 and the type 2 cytokine IL-5 by the T cells. It is concluded that, in addition to their role as potent inhibitors of inflammation via the direct suppression of cytokine production in T cells, GC may further inhibit T cell-mediated inflammation indirectly via the suppression of IL-12 production by DC.
