N2 - P>Binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) has been shown previously to have immunomodulatory functions. Herein we investigated whether BiP could affect the differentiation of monocytes into dendritic cells (DCs) and thence the development of regulatory T cells. Peripheral blood monocyte-derived DCs were matured with lipopolysaccharide in the presence or absence of BiP. DC development and T-cell changes were monitored by flow cytometry and regulatory T-cell function was measured by uptake of tritiated thymidine. More BiP-treated DCs (DC((BiP))s) expressed amounts of intracellular indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and cell surface leucocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 1 (LILRB1), retained CD14 expression but down-regulated expression of human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DR and CD86, and produced copious amounts of interleukin (IL)-10, when compared with control DCs. T cells co-cultured with DC((BiP))s developed regulatory function with increased surface expression of CD4(+) CD25(hi) CD27(hi) but with no concomitant increase in forkhead box P3 (Foxp3). These T cells also showed significantly higher levels of intracellular cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4. The latter could be inhibited by the presence of the IDO inhibitor 1 methyl tryptophan. The addition of neutralizing anti-IL-10 antibody or the specific mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 inhibitor SB203580 reversed the inhibition of DC differentiation by BiP. In conclusion, BiP is an immunomodulator able to arrest inflammation through induction of tolerogenic DCs and subsequent generation of T regulatory cells.
