- Abstract
- Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), a key enzyme that catalyzes the initial, rate-limiting step in tryptophan degradation, is expressed in dendritic cells (DCs) which are stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interferons. In this study we show that curcumin inhibits IDO expression in vitro and in vivo in DCs, leading to the suppression of LPS-induced DC maturation. The effect of curcumin relative to LPS is not limited to the above, as it also enhances LPS-induced expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Additionally, PGE2 diminished the LPS-induced IDO expression in DCs, thereby contributing to the inhibition of expression of the surface molecules (CD80, CD86 and MHC class I) and the production of the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-12 p70 and TNF-alpha) by LPS stimulation. Under our experimental conditions, curcumin plays an immunomodulatory role by downregulating IDO expression via a COX-2/PGE2-dependant pathway, thus impacting DC maturation in vitro and in vivo.
