Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) express Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9, which mediates recognition of microbial DNA during infection or self-DNA in autoimmune diseases. Triggering TLR-9 in PDC induces either maturation (lysosomal TLR-9 triggering) or type I interferon (IFN-I) production (endosomal TLR9 triggering). PDCs also express BDCA-2 (CD303), a C-type lectin receptor (CLR) unique to these cells. CLRs appear to function in innate immunity and microbial recognition, and may cooperate with TLRs to fine-tune inflammatory responses.It has been shown that anti-BDCA-2 monoclonal antibody is internalized by PDC for antigen presentation and inhibits TLR-9 induced IFN-I expression. Here we investigated the cross-talk between BDCA-2 and TLR-9-signaling during PDC maturation and antigen presentation. We found that BDCA-2-induced signaling in PDCs inhibits up-regulation of CD86 and CD40 molecules in CpG-activated PDCs, but not in CD40L-activated PDCs. Furthermore, triggering of BDCA-2 diminished the ability of CpG- and CD40L-stimulated PDCs to process and present antigen to antigen-specific autologous memory T cells. This study demonstrates that BDCA-2 represents an attractive target for clinical immunotherapy of IFN-I dependent autoimmune diseases influencing both.
