IL-23 is a recently discovered heterodimeric cytokine that shares
biological properties with proinflammatory cytokines. The biologically
active heterodimer consists of p19 and the p40 subunit of IL-12. IL-23
has been shown to possess biological activities on T cells that are
similar as well distinct from those of IL-12. We have constructed
single-chain IL-23 and IL-12 fusion proteins (IL-23-Ig and IL-12-Ig)
and have compared the two recombinant proteins for effects on murine
dendritic cells (DC). Here we show that the IL-23-Ig can bind a
significant proportion of splenic DC of both the CD8
-
and CD8
+ subtypes. Furthermore, IL-23and IL-12-Ig
exert biological activities on DC that are only in part overlapping.
While both proteins induce IL-12 production from DC, only IL-23-Ig can
act directly on CD8
+ DC to promote immunogenic
presentation of an otherwise tolerogenic tumor peptide. In addition,
the in vitro effects of IL-23-Ig did not appear to require IL-12R
2
or to be mediated by the production of IL-12. These data may establish
IL-23 as a novel cytokine with major effects on
APC.
