Macrophages and monocytes are activated by CpG DNA motifs to produce NO, which is enhanced dramatically by IFN-gamma. We hypothesize that synergistic cellular responses to IFN-gamma and CpG DNA are due to cross-talk between metabolic signaling pathways of leukocytes. Adherent RAW264.7 macrophages and human monocytes exhibited NAD(P)H autofluorescence oscillation periods of approximately 20 s. IFN-gamma increased the oscillatory amplitude, which was required for CpG DNA-mediated metabolic changes. These alterations in metabolic dynamics required the appropriate combinations of murine/human TLR9 and murine/human-specific CpG DNA. Other factors that also promoted an increase in metabolic oscillatory amplitude could substitute for IFN-gamma. Because recent studies have shown that the metabolic frequency is coupled to the hexose monophosphate shunt, and the amplitude is coupled to the peroxidase cycle, we tested the hypothesis that myeloperoxidase (MPO) participates in IFN-gamma priming for oxidant production. MPO inhibitors blocked cell responses to IFN-gamma and CpG DNA. In the absence of IFN-gamma exposure, the effects of CpG DNA could be duplicated by MPO addition to cell samples. Moreover, monocytes from MPO knockout mice were metabolically unresponsive to IFN-gamma and CpG DNA. NAD(P)H frequency doubling responses due to CpG DNA were blocked by an inhibitor of the hexose monophosphate shunt. Because NAD(P)H participates in electron trafficking to NO and superoxide anions, we tested oxidant production. Although CpG DNA alone had no effect, IFN-gamma plus CpG enhanced NO and reactive oxygen metabolite release compared with IFN-gamma treatment alone. We suggest that amplitude and frequency modulation of cellular metabolic oscillations contribute to intracellular signaling synergy.
