CpG DNA induces plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) to produce type I IFN and chemokines. However, it has not been fully elucidated how the TLR9 signaling pathway is linked to these gene expressions. We examined the mechanisms involving the TLR9 and type I IFN signaling pathways, in relation to CpG DNA-induced IFN-alpha, IFN regulatory factor (IRF)-7, and chemokines. p CXCL10 and CCL3 in human pDC. In pDC, NF-kappa B subunits p65 and p50 were constitutively activated. pDC also constitutively expressed IRF-7 and CCL3, and the gene expressions seemed to be regulated by NF-kappa B. CpG DNA enhanced the NF-kappa B p65/p50 activity, which collaborated with p38 MAPK to up-regulate the expressions of IRF-7, CXCL10, and CCL3 in a manner independent of type I IFN signaling. We then examined the pathway through which IFN-alpha is expressed. Type I IFN induced the. p expression of IRF-7, but not of IFN-alpha, in a NF-kappa B-independent way. CpG DNA enabled the type I IFN-treated pDC to express IFN-alpha in the presence of NF-kappa B/p38 MAPK inhibitor, and chloroquine abrogated this effect. With CpG DNA, IRF-7, both constitutively and newly expressed, moved to the nuclei independently of NF-kappa B/p38 MAPK. These findings suggest that, in CpG DNA-stimulated human pDC, the induction of IRF-7, CXCL10, and CCL3 is mediated by the NF-kappa B/p38 MAPK pathway, and that IRF-7 is activated upstream of the activation of NF-kappa B/p38 MAPK in chloroquine-sensitive regulatory machinery, thereby leading to the expression of IFN-alpha.
