TLRs sense microbial products and initiate adaptive immune responses by activating dendritic cells (DCs). DCs have been shown to produce leukotrienes and, conversely, leukotrienes are known to modulate several DC functions. In this study, we examined the modulation of expression and function of cysteinyl-leukotriene receptor type 1 (CysLT1) on human monocyte-derived DCs during their differentiation and subsequent maturation with zymosan, a TLR2 agonist. Maturation of DCs with zymosan reduced CysLT1 mRNA levels and protein expression in a time-dependent fashion and was associated with a diminution of functional responsiveness to leukotriene D(4) as assessed by intracellular calcium mobilization, CCL2 and CCL3 production, and chemotaxis. The effect of zymosan was mediated by both TLR2 and dectin-1 activation. Zymosan also induced a rapid expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and the production of PGE(2) and IL-10. Addition of an anti-IL-10 neutralizing Ab or inhibitors of cyclooxygenase greatly reduced the ability of zymosan to down-regulate CysLT1 expression. Down-regulation of CysLT1 expression by zymosan could be reproduced by a combination of IL-10 and PGE(2), and was dependent on MAPK activation. Taken together, our findings indicate that zymosan down-regulates CysLT1 expression in DCs with consequently reduced functional responsiveness of the cells to leukotriene D(4) stimulation. This effect is partially dependent on an endogenous production of PGs and IL-10 by DCs.
