C5a Suppresses the Production of IL-12 by IFN-{gamma}-Primed and Lipopolysaccharide-Challenged Human Monocytes1

IL-12 is a key mediator of the immune response, skewing T lymphocytes toward a type 1 cytokine pattern. Priming with IFN-{gamma} or GM-CSF is required for expression of IL-12p70 by cells in which IL-12 is inducible by bacterial products such as LPS. We here show for the first time that the production of bioactive IL-12 by human monocytes can be significantly suppressed by C5a if applied to IFN-{gamma}-primed monocytes before LPS stimulation. There was a dose-dependent suppression by IL-12 (p70) on the levels of intracellular cytokine production and cytokine secretion. mRNA studies consistently showed a reduction of IL-12p40 and IL-12p35 expression by stimulation in the presence of C5a. The results of several different experimental approaches suggest that IL-12 down-regulation was not due to endogenous IL-10, IL-4, or PGE2 production induced by C5a. Moreover, stimulation of IFN-{gamma}-primed monocytes with C5a did not lead to a down-regulation of the CD14 Ag, which is an LPS receptor. These findings show that the anaphylatoxin C5a has the capacity to directly interact with the complex regulation of IL-12.
