note = {Epigenetic mechanisms are believed to regulate the expression of immune gene and the development of inflammation. Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial to sense microbial pathogens by their phagocytosis and by altering the expression of essential immune associated genes that are critical for initiation of innate and adaptive immunity. Therefore, it is possible to hypothesize that the DCs could undergo epigenetic modification towards maintaining the immunity homeostasis during inflammation. Thus, this study aimed to understand epigenetic mechanisms and associated gene expression changes in porcine DCs during infection using an in vitro model. For this, initial analysis was performed to select DCs that could exhibit a greater ability to initiate innate immune responses. To achieve this, porcine monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs) and splenic DCs (SDCs) were isolated and challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Following this, the expression level of immune related genes was analyzed using qRT-PCR and ELISA. The results unveiled that moDCs displayed higher mRNA levels of TLR4-related immune gene, and pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1ß and IL-8 compared to SDCs. Moreover, the flow cytometry and phagocytosis results indicated that the moDCs displayed a more potent maturation induction and phagocytic maintenance. Therefore, moDCs were chosen to be used for further epigenetic analysis. Moreover, sulforaphane (SFN) which is a natural histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor was used t to induce the epigenetic modifications in moDCs. After pre-incubation with SFN, the moDCs were stimulated with LPS. Indeed, SFN was found to inhibit the global HDAC activity. Both SFN and LPS caused DNA methylation in exon 2 of TLR4 and in promoter region of MHC-SLA genes. Moreover, pre-incubation of SFN suppressed the TLR4 signal pathway and MHC-SLA gene which induced the transduction of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1ß, IL-6 and IL-8) only before 3 to 6 h of LPS stimulation. On the other hand, SFN treatment of moDCs followed by LPS challenge induced DNA demethylation in the promoter region of MHC-SLA gene resulting in up-regulation of TLR4 and MHC-SLA gene expression. Inhibition of HDAC activity and DNA demethylation together by SFN treatment increased the expression level of immune genes after 6 h of LPS stimulation. Addtionally, SFN treatment impaired LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and IL-1ß in the cell culture supernatants, but it induced an accumulation of TNF-α in the cell lysates of moDCs that may contribute to restrict the inflammation spreading. SFN also suppressed moDCs differentiation from immature to mature DCs through down-regulation of CD40, CD80 and CD86 molecules resulted in enhanced phagocytosis of moDCs. Thus, this study manifests a novel insight that HDAC inhibitor, SFN, exerts dynamic modulation on DC phenotypes including differential maturation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines through epigenetic modifications to positively modify the innate immune responses in porcine moDCs.},
