Different DNA motifs are required for optimal stimulation of mouse and human immune cells by CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN). These species differences presumably reflect sequence differences in TLR9, the CpG DNA receptor. In this study, we show that this sequence specificity is restricted to phosphorothioate (PS)-modified ODN and is not observed when a natural phosphodiester backbone is used. Thus, human and mouse cells have not evolved to recognize different CpG motifs in natural DNA. Nonoptimal PS-ODN (i.e., mouse CpG motif on human cells and vice versa) gave delayed and less sustained phosphorylation of p38 MAPK than optimal motifs. When the CpG dinucleotide was inverted to GC in each ODN, some residual activity of the PS-ODN was retained in a species-specific, TLR-9-dependent manner. Thus, TLR9 may be responsible for mediating many published CpG-independent responses to PS-ODN.
