A Monocyte Conditioned Medium Is More Effective Than Defined Cytokines in Mediating the Terminal Maturation of Human Dendritic Cells

Abstract: Mature human dendritic cells can be generated in substantial numbers from nonproliferating progenitors in human blood using a two-step protocol. T cell–depleted mononuclear cells are first cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4 (IL-4) and then exposed to monocyte conditioned medium (MCM). The dendritic cells generated using this approach are rendered terminally mature and are the most potent antigen presenting cells identified to date in humans. We sought to characteri… Show more

“…1). TNF-␣ or PGE2, used individually, were not effective inducers of DC differentiation (data not shown), consistent with previous reports [31,32]. Of the mature DC marker and effector genes induced by TNF-␣ ϩ PGE2, CD40, CD86, and HLA-DR are Stat1-dependent, IFNinducible genes [33,34] whose induction by LPS is dependent on an IFN-Stat1-mediated autocrine loop [3-5, 8 -10, 29].…”

“…TNF-␣ has a maturation-inducing effect on human monocyte-derived DCs but does not induce a fully mature phenotype relative to LPS. Addition of PGE2 enhances TNF-␣-mediated maturation of DCs [15,16,31,32]. Our results show that TNF-␣ alone induced Stat1 serine phsphorylation and Stat4 tyrosine phosphorylation but only modestly increased IRF1 expression.…”

On days 3 and 5, 1 ml of the medium (modi®ed by an increase of GM-CSF to 1600 IU/ml) was added to each well.…”

“…Especially, intracytoplasmic IL-12 was detected at a higher level in DC treated with tumour antigen plus LPS for 8 h, whereas IL-12 was nearly undetectable in DC treated with tumour antigen plus cocktail for 24 or 48 h. Ultimately, however, DC vaccines have been investigated with regard to human disease, especially human cancer. Though the use of LPS for DC maturation is expected to enhance Ag-specific immunity [33], other substitutable clinically safe stimulation factors need to be developed. Recently, in preparing a prophylactic melanoma vaccine, MART-1 (melanocyte ⁄ melanoma antigen recognized by T cells-1) expressing whole recombinant yeast was used for safety [45].…”
