Dendritic cells (DC) are important adjuvants for cancer vaccines. Immature dendritic cells (iDCs) are often produced by the stimulation of peripheral blood monocytes with IL-4 and GM-CSF. For many applications iDCs are treatment with cytokines or inflammatory signals to produce mature DCs (mDCs). Immature DCs are often treated ex-vivo with LPS and IFN-γ to produce mature DCs for clinical therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine if the DC maturation cocktail LPS plus IFN-γ could be improved by the addition of two other DC maturation agents IL-1β and TNF-α. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from 6 healthy subjects. Monocytes were isolated from the PBMC concentrates by elutriation and were incubated for 3 days with GM-CSF and IL-4 to produce iDCs. Immature DCs from each subject were divided into 3 and were incubated for 24 hours with LPS plus IFN-γ; LPS, IFN-γ plus IL-1β; or LPS, IFN-γ, IL-1β plus TNF-α to produce mDCs. The DCs were compared by measuring the expression of co-stimulator and antigen presenting molecules (CD80, CD83, CD86, and HLA-DR) by flow cytometry, cytokine production (IL-12p70 and IL-10) by ELISA and global gene expression using an oligonucleotide microarray. There were no differences in the expression of co-stimulatory molecules, HLA-DR and CCR7 and production of IL-12p70 among the mDCs produced with the 3 cocktails. Global gene expression analysis found that the expression of 9,576 genes differed between the iDCs and mDCs, but the expression of only 13 differed among the 3 different groups of mDCs. There was no benefit of adding IL-1β and TNF-α to LPS and IFN-γ to order to produce mDCs.
