Title Vitamin C enhances NF-?B-driven DNA demethylation and immunogenic properties of dendritic cells [methylation I]
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Methylation profiling by array
Summary Dendritic cells (DCs) are central in immune responses, bridging the adaptive and innate systems. The study of the in vitro differentiation of DCs from monocytes provides both an in-depth understanding of the analogous in vivo process and a potential source for cancer cell therapy. Active DNA demethylation has been previously reported to be crucial in DC differentiation. Vitamin C, an essential nutrient, is a known cofactor of ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes, which drive active demethylation. Currently, the effects of vitamin C treatment on human immune cells are poorly understood. In this study, we have analyzed the epigenomic and transcriptomic reprogramming orchestrated by vitamin C in monocyte-derived DC differentiation and maturation. We have detected extensive demethylation produced by vitamin C treatment, together with concordant gene expression changes during DC maturation. p65, a component of NF-kB, interacts with TET2 and produces both vitamin C-mediated gene upregulation and DNA demethylation during DC maturation, as demonstrated by chemical inhibition. Moreover, vitamin C increases TNFβ production in DCs through p65, in concordance with the upregulation of its coding gene and DNA demethylation of adjacent CpGs. Finally, vitamin C increases DC's ability to stimulate the proliferation of autologous antigen-specific T cells. This work provides a potential strategy for the improvement of cell therapies based on monocyte-derived DCs, as well as a feasible mechanism of action for intravenous high-dose vitamin C treatment in patients.
 
Overall design Monocytes were differentiated to Dcs in the presence/absence of vitamin C. DCs were maturated with LPS. Three biological replicates are included and three different conditions: monocytes, DC_d2, DC_d2vitC, iDCs, iDCvitC, mDCs, and, mDCvitC
