The capsular polysaccharide of pyogenic liver abscessKlebsiella pneumoniae induces maturation and inflammatory response of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells
The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of pyogenic liver abscessKlebsiella pneumoniaeconsists of repeating units of the trisaccharide (→3)-□-D-Glc-(1→4)-[2,3-(S)-pyruvate]-□-D-GlcA-(1→4)-□-L-Fuc-(1→) and has the unusual feature of extensive pyruvation of glucuronic acid and acetylation of C2-OH or C3-OH of fucose. The present study investigates how CPS activates human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs). Our experimental results show that CPS activates DCs by (1) increasing the expression of CD11c, CD40, CD80, CD83, CD86, and MHC-II (2) increasing the production of TNF-□, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-12p70 (3) increasing DC-elicited allogeneic T-cell proliferation, and (4) increasing the DC-driven Th1 response. In addition, CPS activates DCs through TLR4 and the pyruvation and the acetylation of CPS are important for its cytokine induction activity. Further, our results show that CPS activates TNF-□ and IL-6 secretion through JNK1/2, p38, NF-B,- PKC and ROS pathways in DCs.
