Chlorella sorokiniana  (CS) is a unicellular green alga. The extracts of  Chlorella  have been used as treatments for relieving hypertension and modulating immune response. The detailed mechanisms are not clear yet. In this study, we sought to study the molecular mechanisms for the polysaccharide fraction of CS-induced immune response. We pulsed dendritic cells (DCs) with CS and found that CS could maturate DCs. CS-maturated DC could activate naïve T cells and stimulate T-cell proliferation and IFN-  γ   secretion. Furthermore, CS activated PI3K and MAPKs signaling pathways in DCs by interacting with TLR4 receptor. These CS-activated signaling pathways could further activate NF-  κ  B and induce IL-12 production in DCs. This study provides molecular mechanisms for CS-induced DCs activation and immune response.
