Expression of genes of cytokines, transcription factors and differentiation antigens in human dendritic cells activated by double-stranded DNA by A. S. Proskurina, K. E. Orishchenko, E. A. Potter, E. V. Dolgova, A. V. Spaselnikova, G. S. Ritter, N. A. Varaksin, T. G. Ryabicheva, O. Y. Leplina, A. A. Ostanin, E. R. Chernykh, S. S. Bogachev

“…One of the most important properties of extracellular double-stranded DNA related to the treatment of various diseases is its ability to activate effector cells of the immune system (anti-tumor and vaccinal immunity) through dendritic cells (DCs). The stimulatory effect of DNA on DCs is mediated by the TLR9 signaling pathway and/or through a system of cytosolic sensors and is manifested by increased expression of MHC class II antigens and costimulatory molecules and by increased synthesis of immunoregulatory cytokines. …”
