AIMS: Macropinocytosis is a major endocytic pathway by which dendritic cells
(DCs) internalize antigens in the periphery. Despite the importance of DCs in the
initiation and control of adaptive immune responses, the signaling mechanisms
mediating DC macropinocytosis of antigens remain largely unknown. The goal of the
present study was to investigate whether protein kinase C (PKC) is involved in
stimulation of DC macropinocytosis and, if so, to identify the specific PKC
isoform(s) and downstream signaling mechanisms involved. METHODS: Various
cellular, molecular and immunological techniques, pharmacological approaches and
genetic knockout mice were utilized to investigate the signaling mechanisms
mediating DC macropinocytosis. RESULTS: Confocal laser scanning microscopy
confirmed that DCs internalize fluorescent antigens (ovalbumin) using
macropinocytosis. Pharmacological blockade of classical and novel PKC isoforms
using calphostin C abolished both phorbol ester- and hepatocyte growth
factor-induced antigen macropinocytosis in DCs. The qRT-PCR experiments
identified PKC? as the dominant PKC isoform in DCs. Genetic studies demonstrated
the functional role of PKC? in DC macropinocytosis of antigens, their subsequent
maturation, and secretion of various T-cell stimulatory cytokines, including
IL-1?, TNF-? and IFN-?. Additional mechanistic studies identified NADPH oxidase 2
(Nox2) and intracellular superoxide anion as important players in DC
macropinocytosis of antigens downstream of PKC? activation. CONCLUSION: The
findings of the present study demonstrate a novel mechanism by which PKC?
activation via stimulation of Nox2 activity and downstream redox signaling
promotes DC macropinocytosis of antigens. PKC?/Nox2-mediated antigen
macropinocytosis stimulates maturation of DCs and secretion of T-cell stimulatory
cytokines. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of the
regulatory mechanisms in DC macropinocytosis and downstream regulation of
T-cell-mediated responses.
