Differential regulation of DC function by Siphonodiol.
Siphonodiol is a polyacetylene diol isolated from marine sponges Callyspongia sp. We demonstrate that the effect of Siphonodiol on the phenotypic and functional maturation of human monocyte derived DC in vitro. Human monocytes were exposed to Siphonodiol alone, or in combination with LPS and thereafter co-cultured with naïve T cells. The expression levels of CD1a, CD80, CD83, CD86 and HLA-DR on LPS-primed DC were partially enhanced by Siphonodiol. Siphonodiol augmented the T cell stimulatory capacity in an allo MLR to LPS-primed DC. Siphonodiol dose-dependently enhanced the production of IL-12p70 by LPS-primed DC and this cytokine production was inhibited by anti-TLR4 mAb. IFN-gamma secretion from naive T cells co-cultured with DC differentiated with LPS was augmented by Siphonodiol. These results suggest that the enhancement of Th1 cells polarization to LPS-primed DC induced by Siphonodiol depends on TLR4 and via the activation of IL-12p70.
