Using techniques for ODN immobilization that do prevent cell uptake, the immune stimulatory effects of CpG are shown to be abolished.

    • IFN-γ primes macrophage responses to bacterial DNA
    • This paper demonstrates that certain responses of macrophages to CpG DNA depend on priming of the macrophages by IFN-γ, whereas other responses do not. Macrophage expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase in response to CpG DNA requires IFN-γ priming, but activation of the HIV long terminal repeat or expression of the cationic amino acid transporter, CAT2, do not. Nevertheless, these latter activities of CpG DNA are enhanced by IFN-γ priming.

    • CpG oligodeoxynucleotides downregulate macrophage class II MHC antigen processing
    • As so many studies have shown CpG DNA to be a potent adjuvant in vivo, it may seem paradoxical that it actually downregulates macrophage antigen processing and presentation, yet this is clearly shown in this study. However, this result is certainly consistent with the conclusion that in CpG-treated animals, DCs are more important for in vivo antigen presentation than macrophages, which are less capable of providing co-stimulatory signals. In fact, by avoiding antigen presentation on macrophages, it is even possible that the risk of inducing anergy to foreign antigens may be reduced. Presumably, the macrophages activated by CpG DNA are contributing to immune defence through other ways, perhaps involving innate resistance to intracellular pathogens.

    • CpG oligodeoxynucleotides rescue BKS-2 immature B cell lymphoma from anti-IgM-mediated growth inhibition by up-regulation of egr-1
    • •], this paper demonstrates that the ability of CpG DNA to prevent activation-induced apoptosis in B lymphoma cells depends on the activation of NFκB. The second study demonstrates that an antisense ODN against the immediate early gene Egr-1 blocks the CpG-induced protection of B lymphoma cells against apoptosis. Although this experiment is interpreted to suggest a role for Egr-1 in mediating the protective effect of CpG DNA, it is noteworthy that the antisense sequence used for Egr-1 contained several poly-G motifs that have been shown to oppose the immune stimulatory effects of CpG ODN in other studies (see [32]). ODN can have multiple types of immune activities, which can complicate the interpretation of experimental results.

    • CpG DNA and LPS induce distinct patterns of activation in human monocytes
    • This study demonstrates that both LPS and CpG DNA activate human monocytes to secrete TNF-α and IL-6. The kinetics of this activation differ, however; the effects of LPS are detected within a few hours, whereas CpG DNA requires more than 12 hours to induce cytokine production. This allows differentiation of the effects of LPS and CpG DNA on human monocytes and raises the possibility that this effect of CpG DNA may be indirect.

    • Oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs induce IL-12, IL-18 and IFN-γ production in cells from allergic individuals and inhibit IgE synthesis in vitro
    • These studies demonstrate that PBMCs from either normal or allergic donors produce IFN-γ, IL-12, and IL-18 upon stimulation with CpG DNA but not upon non-CpG DNA stimulation.

    • CpG DNA as a signal for growth, activation and maturation of human dendritic cells
    • This manuscript demonstrates that CpG DNA is a major growth factor for human primary blood DCs, promoting their survival, expression of co-stimulatory molecules, and functional ability to support T cell responses in an allogeneic mixed-lymphocyte response. This study also demonstrates that although CpG DNA activates monocyte-derived DCs to secrete Th1-like cytokines as noted above, its effects do not extend to enhancing the expression of co-stimulatory molecules on that DC cell subset. Moreover, LPS is shown to have the opposite pattern of DC-specificity in its stimulatory effects in that LPS preferentially stimulates monocyte-derived DCs, but has very little effect on primary blood DCs.

    • Lipid-DNA complexes induce potent activation of innate immune responses and antitumor activity when administered intravenously
    • •] demonstrate that the activation of innate immunity by CpG DNA provides protection against a broad range of pathogens, as well as tumor cell challenges. CpG-induced protection is shown to be dependent on the production of IFN-γ and IL-12. As might be expected, CpG-induced protection against challenge with different types of organisms shows some kinetic differences. In CpG-induced protection against Listeria monocytogenes, at least 48 hours is required between the time of CpG exposure and the time of pathogen challenge, which presumably reflects the time required for upregulation of the innate immune defences required to control this rapidly replicating pathogen. However, CpG-induced defences against the more indolent pathogen, Leishmania major, can eradicate infection even when CpG treatment is delayed until 20 days after infection. A single dose of CpG DNA protects against pathogen challenge for approximately two to four

As this approach appears to be without major toxicity, it has been proposed as a defence against bioterrorism (see [6]).

The manuscript shows that the commonly cited formula for a CpG motif of purine-purine-CpG-pyrimidine-pyrimidine is incorrect; a much wider variety of CpG motifs were stimulatory in this study. In fact, the only CpG motifs that were not highly stimulatory were those in which the CpG was either preceded by a C or followed by a G. Sequences outside the immediate flanking bases of the CpG dinucleotide are also important in modulating the immune stimulatory effect since polypyrimidine sequences on the 3′ end of an ODN were found to be optimal for stimulation. These studies were performed with phosphodiester ODN, and other studies have shown that when ODN are made with a phosphorothioate backbone, a more restricted subset of CpG motifs is stimulatory.

    • It has been known for many years that besides making anti-DNA antibodies, lupus patients also have increased levels of circulating DNA in their plasma (see also [75]). This report demonstrates that when lupus sera DNA is cloned and expressed in bacteria, it has stimulatory effects on human PBMCs. While this result may seem obvious, since the lupus DNAs were grown in bacteria and would therefore be unmethylated, it should be kept in mind that unmethylated vertebrate DNA is not normally mitogenic [72]. Further studies of lupus plasma DNAs are clearly needed in order to understand their possible significance.

While this result may seem obvious, since the lupus DNAs were grown in bacteria and would therefore be unmethylated, it should be kept in mind that unmethylated vertebrate DNA is not normally mitogenic [72]. Further studies of lupus plasma DNAs are clearly needed in order to understand their possible significance.

    • Chlamydia infections and heart disease linked through antigenic mimicry
    • CpG DNA is an outstanding adjuvant for inducing immune responses to foreign antigens. This report demonstrates that CpG DNA can also adjuvant an autoimmune response to a cardiac antigen, apparently by the mechanism of molecular mimicry. The role of CpG in serving as an adjuvant for associated microbial antigens is of course predicted from the hypothesis that it serves as a signal for 'infectious danger'. However, this report raises the specter that exposure to CpG DNA during an infection could help break tolerance to self-antigens under certain conditions. Further studies will be required in order to determine whether the presence of CpG DNA may be linked to hypothesized associations between infections and autoimmune disease.

    • In this report, the proinflammatory effects of CpG DNA injected into the joint appear to result in a self-limited local inflammation, but induction of antigen-specific autoimmunity is not demonstrated. The findings are likely to be relevant to the mechanisms of joint damage in septic arthritis, but most studies indicate that microbial DNA is rarely present in the joints of patients with the most common rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

    • This manuscript shows that CpG DNA induces a dose-dependent extramedulary hemopoiesis in mice. This effect is maximal at approximately day six after CpG injection, and is associated with an increase in the numbers of myeloid and erythroid precursors in the spleen. Treatment with sublethally irradiated mice with CpG ODN protects them against lethal challenge with Listeria monocytogenes and leads to a more rapid recovery of immune responses to vaccination. These results suggest potential utility of CpG DNA in the treatment of immune-compromised humans.

Together, the reports demonstrate that CpG DNA can not only prevent sensitization to an allergen, but also prevent established Th2-mediated immune responses in the airways. This is associated with the induction of a Th1-like immune response to the allergen. It appears that CpG DNA is most effective in reducing established Th2-like responses when the CpG DNA is given together with the allergen, but treatment with CpG DNA alone is also effective, especially when the DNA is given at least 48 hours prior to the allergen inhalation. The beneficial effects of CpG DNA in these systems persist for weeks after a single dose.

    • CpG oligodeoxynucleotides do not require Th1 cytokines to prevent eosinophilic airway inflammation in a murine model of asthma
    • It may be expected that the ability of CpG DNA to oppose Th2-mediated airways inflammation depends on its induction of the Th1-like cytokines, IFN-γ and IL-12. It is therefore surprising that neither one of these cytokines is absolutely required for CpG DNA to work in this model system. CpG DNA prevented the induction of Th2-like immune responses in mice that were genetically deficient in both IL-12 and IFN-γ, although this required somewhat higher doses of CpG than were effective in wild-type mice. Further investigation into the mechanisms of this IL-12- and IFN-γ-independent effect of CpG DNA may reveal new insights into the regulation of Th1- and Th2-like immune responses.
