摘要

Triptolide(TPT) isolated from one of the Chinese herbs, Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F. (TWHF), are known to have a variety of immunomodulatory activities. This study was performed to investigate the effect of TPT on the differentiation of splenic DCs and its influence on T cell-mediated immunity regarding to DC subsets CD11c^lowI-a/e^lowCD45RB⁺(CD11c^low DCs) and CD11c^highI-a/e^highCD45RB^- (CD11c^high DCs) in male C57BL/6 mice spleens in vitro. The percentage of CD11c^low DCs was significantly increased after treatment with TPT compared to their counterparts (CD11c^high DCs). It was found that unlike the gradually decreasing interleukin (IL)-12 secretion of CD11c^high DCs induced by TPT, CD11c^low DCs showed a obvious dose-dependent response between the increasing of IL-10 production and TPT stimulation. After treatment with anti-IL-12R or anti-IL-10 monoclonal antibody in CD4⁺ T cells + CD11c^high DCs or CD11c^low DCs mixed lymphocyte reaction, the induction of these DCs on T cells was inhibited dramatically. These data demonstrated that TPT might induce the differentiation of splenic DCs to CD11c^low DCs followed by shifting of Th1 to Th2 with enhancement of T lymphocyte immune function in vitro.
