Anaphylatoxin C5a Regulates 6-Sulfo-LacNAc Dendritic Cell Function in Human through Crosstalk with Toll-Like Receptor-Induced CREB Signaling.

ABSTRACT: Activation of antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) and the complement system are essential early events in the immune defense against invading pathogens. Recently, we and others demonstrated immunological crosstalk between signaling from receptors recognizing complement activation products and PAMPs on DCs. This affects DC effector function, as demonstrated by the finding that C5a prevents induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines by toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands in human monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs). Here, we demonstrate that this regulatory crosstalk is specifically important in 6-sulfo LacNAc dendritic cells (slanDCs), the most pro-inflammatory DC subset found in human. C5aR and TLR signaling show profound interference in the ERK/p38/CREB1 signaling pathways. C5aR signaling acceler
