Activated T cells induce interleukin‐12 production by monocytes via CD40‐CD40 ligand interaction

Abstract: Previous studies on the production of interleukin-12 (IL-12) have shown that it is released, together with other proinflammatory cytokines, shortly after exposure of phagocytic cells to a variety of pathogens. We here report that IL-12 is also released during the recall response to soluble antigen (Ag) devoid of intrinsic adjuvant activity. We show that activated T cells induce the production of IL-12 by monocytes via a mechanism involving the interaction of T cell-associated CD40 ligand with CD40 on monocytes… Show more

“…This may be interpreted as a mechanism that controls CD40-CD40L interaction in a negative fashion. The application of a dimeric CD40 fusion protein strongly suppressed IL-12 production of monocytes in vitro [49]. Supposing that sCD40 has similar effects on CD40-CD40L interaction in vivo, it might profoundly influence the immune system.…”

“…Soluble CD40 has been demonstrated in vitro in the supernatants of B cell lines and bound to CD40L, which was thought to regulate CD40-CD40L interaction in a negative fashion [47,48]. A dimeric CD40 fusion protein effectively suppressed IL-12 production by monocytes in vitro [49]. Thus, sCD40 is a candidate molecule to explain the development of immunological disturbances seen in end-stage renal failure.…”

“…The best-defined costimulatory pathways are the B7:CD28 pathway and the CD40:CD40 ligand (CD40L) 4 pathway (1, 2). The two known members of the B7 family, B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86), are expressed on professional APCs, and their expression is enhanced by microbes and innate immune responses.…”

“…The interaction between CD40L and CD40 also enhances T cell responses (2,3). Although the mechanism of this effect is unclear, it is currently believed that CD40:CD40L interactions serve to up-regulate the expression of B7 on APCs and to induce the production of cytokines, such as IL-12, which promote T cell differentiation (4).…”
