Recently, a combination of prostaglandin E\(_2\) (PGE\(_2\)) with Toll-like receptor agonists (TLR-P) was proposed as a new standard to generate superior cytokine-producing DCs with high migratory capacity. Here, we compare TLR-P DCs with conventional DCs matured only with the proinflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL-1ß (CDCs), focussing on the interaction of resulting DCs with CD8\(^+\) T-cells. TLR-P matured DCs showed elevated expression of activation markers such as CD80 and CD83 compared to CDCs, together with a significantly higher migration capacity. Secretion of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-12 was highest after 16 h in TLR-P DCs, and only TLR-P DCs secreted active IL-12p70. TLR-P DCs as well as CDCs successfully primed multifunctional CD8\(^+\) T-cells from naïve precursors specific for the peptide antigens Melan-A, NLGN4X, and PTP with comparable priming efficacy and T-cell receptor avidity. CD8\(^+\) T-cells primed by TLR-P DCs showed significantly elevated expression of the integrin VLA-4 and a trend for higher T-cell numbers after expansion. In contrast, TLR-P DCs displayed a substantially reduced capability to cross-present CMVpp65 protein antigen to pp65-specific T cells, an effect that was dose-dependent on PGE2 during DC maturation and reproducible with several responder T-cell lines. In conclu-sion, TLR-P matured DCs might be optimal presenters of antigens not requiring processing such as short peptides. However, PGE\(_2\) seems less favorable for maturation of DCs intended to process and cross-present more complex vaccine antigens such as lysates, proteins or long peptides.

Effects on phenotype, cytokine production, migration and the antigen specific priming of CD8\(^p\)\(^o\)\(^s\) t-cells N2 - Gegenstand der Arbeit: Es wurde der Einfluss einer Ausreifung dendritischer Zellen mit Poly(I:C), R848 und Prostaglandin E2 (=tlrDCs) zur Verwendung im Rahmen der Tumorvakzine untersucht. Für den Einsatz einer doppelten TLR-Stimulation gibt es zahlreiche zellphysiologische Gründe, wobei PGE2 als Motilitätsförderer eingesetzt wird. Es besitzt negative Teilwirkungen auf die Zytokinsekretion, eine verbesserte Migration stellt aber die wichtigste Stellgröße zur Optimierung der Tumorvakzine dar. Ergebnisse: Für tlrDCs konnte neben einer hohen Fähigkeit zu Migration und Kostimulation eine überlegene Immunstimulation für naive CTLs und TH1/TC1-Antworten in einem antigenspezifischen Primingmodell nachgewiesen werden. Eine Ausreifungsdauer von 16 h erscheint für die Zytokinsekretion der DCs günstig. Es lässt sich eine hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit für die Generation von Central-Memory-T-Zellen und das T-Zell-Homing ins ZNS ableiten. N2 - Subject: This thesis investigated the impact of dendritic cell maturation with poly(I:C), R848 and prostaglandine E2 (=tlrDCs) for use in the context of tumor vaccines. There are several cell-physiological rationales for a dual TLR stimulation whilst PGE2 is acting as a promoter of mobility. It has partially negative effects on cytokine secretion, however improving migration is believed to be the most important variable for optimizing tumor vaccines. Results: Besides their high capacity in migration and co-stimulation tlrDCs showed superior immuno-stimulation for naive CTLs and TH1/TC1 responses in a model of antigen-specific priming. A maturation period of 16 h seemed to be favorable for cytokine secretion of DCs. A good chance for the generation of central memory T-cells and T-cell homing into the CNS can be deduced.
