Fever is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism to improve survival during infection. Previous studies have shown that feverlike temperatures directly enhance the function of murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs). In the present study, we examined the response of human monocyte-derived DC to 39.5 degrees C hyperthermia. When primed with toll-like receptor agonists or bacterial extract but not proinflammatory cytokines, hyperthermia specifically enhanced secretion of interleukin (IL)-12p70 by DC, without altering the secretion of IL-10, tumor necrosis factor a or IL-1 beta. These DC induced significantly higher levels of T-cell proliferation and interferon gamma production in assays of antigen presentation and MLR. Endogenous heat-sock protein 70 colocalized with CD40 in DC exposed to hyperthermic conditions. Recombinant CD40Fc fusion protein blocked the increase in IL-12p70 secretion by DC primed with bacterial extract and hyperthermia. Thus, DC primed with toll-like receptor-agonists respond to hyperthermia with increased IL-12p70 secretion, mediated by heat-shock protein binding and activation of CD40. The data have important applications for clinical immunotherapy and the mechanism of fever.
