Abstract

Neutrophil-derived bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) is known for its bactericidal activity against gram -negative bacteria and neutralization of lipopolysaccharide. Here, we define BPI as a potent activator of murine dendritic cells (DCs). As shown in GM-CSF-cultured, bone -marrow -derived cells (BMDCs), BPI induces a distinct stimulation profile including IL -2, IL -6, and tumor necrosis factor expression. Conventional DCs also respond to BPI, while M-CSF-cultivated or peritoneal lavage macrophages do not. Subsequent to BPI stimulation of BMDCs, CD4 + T cells predominantly secrete IL -22 and, when naive, preferentially differentiate into T helper 22 (Th22) cells. Congruent with the tissue -protective properties of IL -22 and along with impaired IL -22 induction, disease severity is significantly increased during dextran sodium sulfate -induced colitis in BPI -deficient mice. Importantly, physiological diversification of intestinal microbiota fosters BPI -dependent IL -22 induction in CD4 + T cells derived from mesenteric lymph nodes. In conclusion, BPI is a potent activator of DCs and consecutive Th22 cell differentiation with substantial relevance in intestinal homeostasis.
