Helminth-derived peptide GK-1 induces Myd88-dependent pro-inflammatory signaling events in bone marrow-derived antigen-presenting cells.

Abstract:

:GK-1 is an immunomodulatory, 18-aa-long peptide that has been proved to promote the activation of mouse peritoneal macrophages and LPS-pulsed mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BM-DCs). This study is aimed to explore the mechanisms underlying the activation of these antigen-presenting cells (APCs) by GK-1. In our study, GK-1 up-regulated in vitro the expression of CD86 and CD40, and it increased the secretion of NO in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). In BM-DCs, GK-1 upregulated the expression of MHC class II and CD86. Additionally, GK-1 was found to be involved in the phosphorylation of MAPK p38, JNK and ERK 1/2 and in Myd88-dependent activation of NF-κB in both antigen-presenting cell types. In vivo, GK-1 increased the secretion of IL-15, CCL2, and IL-6 through a Myd88-dependent mechanism. This study demonstrated that GK-1 promotes the activation and effector activity of APCs through a mechanism dependent on Myd88, probably involving a Toll-like receptor as a target.
