title: Dendritic cells transduced with lentiviral vector targeting RelB gene using RNA interference induce hyporesponsiveness in memory CD4(+) T cells and naïve CD4(+) T cells.
abstract: The ability of DCs to induce immune tolerance depends on its maturation status. RelB plays a pivotal role in DCs differentiation. A therapeutic protocol of DCs-based not only induces hyporesponsiveness in T(N)s, but also in alloreactive T(M)s is required. Thus, it is urgent to assess modulatory effects of RelB-silenced DCs on T(M)s and T(N)s. In this study, we constructed lentiviral vector which could efficiently silenced the RelB in DCs (DCs-miR RelB) to keep them immature. These DCs induced antigen-specific hyporesponsiveness in CD4(+) T(N)s. In contrast, upon re-stimulation with mature DCs, CD4(+) T(M)s primed by DCs-miR RelB maintained hyporesponsiveness in terms of proliferation and cytokine production. And these may be associated with micro155 and micro181a expression levels in T(M)s and T(N)s. These results may help developing the DCs-based therapeutical protocols by inducing hyporesponsiveness in CD4(+) T(N)s and T(M)s.
