Tolerogenic dendritic cells induced by BD750 ameliorate proinflammatory T cell responses and experimental autoimmune encephalitis in mice.

ABSTRACT: BD750, a novel JAK3/STAT5 inhibitor, can inhibit T cell proliferation. This study aims to evaluate whether BD750 can induce tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDC) and their function in experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) in mice. Following BD750 treatment, LPS-induced maturation of DC, allogeneic T cell proliferation, Th1 and Th17 cell functional differentiation, the STAT5 and AKT activation were determined. The effect of tolDC loaded with antigen peptide on the development and severity of EAE and their splenic Th1 and Th17 cell responses were determined. In comparison with LPS-induced mature DC (mDC), BD750 treatment induced tolDC with lower expression levels of costimulatory molecules and pro-inflammatory cytokines and lower levels of STAT5 phosphorylation. TolDC inhibited allogeneic
