Leishmania braziliensis infections are often associated with exaggerated immune responses that can sometimes lead to severe disease associated with high levels of IFN-γ and TNF-alpha. To explore the role played by dendritic cells (DCs) in these responses, we characterized DCs that were exposed to L. braziliensis. We found that DCs cultured with L. braziliensis parasites upregulated DC activation markers and produced IL-12 and TNF-alpha. However, not all DCs in the culture became infected, and an analysis of infected and uninfected DCs demonstrated that the upregulation of activation markers and IL-12 production was primarily confined to the uninfected (bystander) DCs. Further studies with transwell chambers and parasite fractions indicated that the activation of bystander DCs was mediated by a soluble parasite product, in a type 1 IFN and Myd88-independent but TNF-alpha-dependent fashion, and that the activated DCs were more efficient at presenting antigen than control DCs. In contrast, L. braziliensis infected DCs failed to upregulate activation markers, but exhibited a dramatic enhancement in their ability to produce TNF-alpha in response to LPS as compared to uninfected DCs. These findings uncover a dual role for DCs in L. braziliensis infection: T cell activation by bystander DCs due to enhanced antigen presenting capacity following exposure to soluble parasite products, and increased production of TNF-alpha by infected cells that may contribute to the local control of the parasites but concomitantly induce immunopathology.
