Maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) by TLR ligands induces expression of IFN-beta and autocrine activation of IFN-inducible Stat1-dependent genes important for DC function. In this study, we analyzed the regulation of STAT signaling during maturation of human DCs by TNF-alpha and PGE2, which induced maturation of human DCs comparably with LPS but did not induce detectable IFN-beta production or Stat1 tyrosine phosphorylation. Consistent with these results, TNF-alpha and PGE2 did not induce Stat1 DNA binding to a standard Stat1-binding oligonucleotide. Instead, TNF-alpha and PGE2 increased Stat1 serine phosphorylation and Stat4 tyrosine phosphorylation and activated expression of the NF-kappa B and Stat1 target gene IFN regulatory factor 1 (IRF1), which contributes to IFN responses. TNF-alpha and PGE2 induced a complex that bound an oligonucleotide derived from the IRF1 promoter that contains a STAT-binding sequence embedded in a larger pal-indromic sequence, and this complex was recognized by Stat1 antibodies. These results suggest that TNF-alpha and PGE2 activate STAT-mediated components of human DC maturation by alternative pathways to the IFN-beta-mediated autocrine loop used by TLRs. J. Leukoc.
