Sublytic C5b-9 has been described as a pro-inflammatory mediator that triggers cell activation rather than inducing cell death. Dendritic cells (DC) play a critical role in controlling antigen-specific immune responses. Although DC maturation induced by various stimuli has been well characterized, the role of C5b-9 in DC function has not been described. In this report, we use in vitro assembled functional C5b-9 based on purified distal complement protein to show that DC maturation is promoted by sublytic C5b-9. This was demonstrated by up-regulation of CD83, HLA-antigens and costimulatory molecules, including CD80, D86, B7-1-11, B7-1-13, B7-1-14 and BTLA. In addition, secretion of cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-12 and tumor necrosis factor-a was increased while the capacity for antigen uptake (FITC-Dextran and Lucifer Yellow) was reduced in C5b-9-treated DC. Mixed lymphocyte reactions indicated that CSb-9-activated DC acted as stimulators that significantly promoted CD4(+) T cell activation and elicited production of cytokines, including interferon-gamma and IL-2. Interestingly, C5b-9-treated DC also orient CD4(+)CD45RA(+) naive T cells toward Thl polarization. Our results are the first to report that DC are potential immunoregulatory targets of C5b-9, suggesting that C5b-9 bridges innate and acquired immunity by inducing DC maturation.
