Induction of the interleukin-12 (IL-12) cytokine family comprising IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, and IL-12p40 by intracellular pathogens is required for orchestration of cell-mediated immune responses. Macrophages (MΦ) have been shown to be a source of IL-12 following TLR4-dependent activation by Salmonella (S.). In this study another antigen-presenting cell type, the conventional dendritic cell (cDC), was analyzed and its cytokine responses compared with those of MΦ. We generated bone marrow-derived conventional dendritic cells (BMDC) and macrophages (BMMΦ) by incubating murine bone marrow cells with supernatants containing granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) or macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), respectively. Stimulation of BMDC and BMMΦ with S. enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) or LPS resulted in the release of IL-12 and IL-23 by BMDC but not by BMMΦ. Furthermore, BMDC secreted approx. 20-fold more IL-12p40 and IL-27p28 than BMMΦ. However, BMDC and BMMΦ produced similar levels of IL-10. Using BMDC originating from wild-type (wt), TLR2^def and TLR4^def mice, we show that in BMDC the induction of IL-12, IL-23, and IL-27p28 by SE is dependent on TLR4, whereas low-level production of p40 is also mediated by pattern recognition receptors (PRR) other than TLR4. Interestingly, LPS- and SE-provoked responses of BMDC were remarkably similar indicating that LPS is the primary danger molecule of SE. Taken together, our results point to cDC rather than MΦ as the major producers of the IL-12 family members during in vitro infection with SE. The mechanisms of recognition of SE, however, appear to be the same for cDC and MΦ
