IL-12p70 is a key cytokine for the induction of Th1 immune responses. IL-12p70 production in myeloid cells is thought to be strictly controlled by T cell help. In this work we demonstrate that primary human monocytes can produce IL-12p70 in the absence of T cell help. We show that human monocytes express TLR4 and TLR8 but lack TLR3 and TLR7 even after preincubation with type I IFN. Simultaneous stimulation of TLR4 and TLR8 induced IL-12p70 in primary human monocytes. IL-12p70 production in peripheral blood myeloid dendritic cells required combined stimulation of TLR7/8 ligands together with TLR4 or with TLR3 ligands. In the presence of T cell-derived IL-4, but not IFN-
, stimulation with TLR7/8 ligands was sufficient to stimulate IL-12p70 production. In monocytes, type I IFN was required but not sufficient to costimulate IL-12p70 induction by TLR8 ligation. Furthermore, TLR8 ligation inhibited LPS-induced IL-10 in monocytes, and LPS alone gained the ability to stimulate IL-12p70 in monocytes when the IL-10 receptor was blocked. Together, these results demonstrate that monocytes are licensed to synthesize IL-12p70 through type I IFN provided via the Toll/IL-1R domain-containing adaptor inducing IFN-
pathway and the inhibition of IL-10, both provided by combined stimulation with TLR4 and TLR8 ligands, triggering a potent Th1 response before T cell help is established.
