Transition of immature antigen presenting cells (APCs) to the state of professional APCs is essential for initiation of cell-mediated immune responses to pathogens. Signal transduction via molecules of the Toll-like receptor (TLR)/interleukin 1 receptor (IL-1R) pathway is critical for activation of APCs either by pathogen-derived pattern ligands like lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or by CD40 ligation through T helper cells. The capacity of bacterial DNA (CpG-DNA) to induce APCs to differentiate into professional APCs represents an interesting discovery. However, the signaling pathways involved are poorly understood. Here we show that CpG-DNA activates the TLR/IL-1R signaling pathway via the molecules myeloid differentiation marker 88 (MyD88) and tumor necrosis factor receptor–associated factor 6 (TRAF6), leading to activation of kinases of the IκB kinase complex and the c-jun NH2-terminal kinases. Moreover, cells of TLR2- and TLR4-deficient mice are activated by CpG-DNA, whereas cells of MyD88-deficient mice do not respond. The data suggest that CpG-DNA initiates signaling via the TLR/IL-1R pathway in APCs in a manner similar to LPS and to T helper cell–mediated CD40 ligation. Activation of the TLR/IL-1R signaling pathway by foreign bacterial DNA may be one way to initiate innate defense mechanisms against infectious pathogens in vivo.
