We showed previously that sensitization of mice with dendritic cells (DCs) via the airways depends on activation of these cells with LPS. Allergen-pulsed DCs that were stimulated with low doses of LPS induce a strong Th2 response in vivo. Our objective was to investigate whether airway sensitization of mice by the application of DCs with a phenotype that is able to induce Th17 cells results in increased remodeling of the airways. We generated DCs from the bone marrow of mice and pulsed them with LPS-free ovalbumin. Subsequently, cells were activated with LPS with or without ATP for inflammasome activation. The activated cells were used to sensitize mice via the airways. Intranasal instillation of DCs that were activated with 0.1 ng/ml LPS induced a Th2 response with airway eosinophilia. High doses of LPS, particularly when given in combination with ATP, led to induction of a mixed Th2/Th17 response. Interestingly, we found a correlation between IL-17A production and the remodeling of the airways. Stimulation of mouse fibroblasts with purified IL-17A protein in vitro resulted in transforming growth factor-β1 secretion and collagen transcription. Interestingly, we found enhanced secretion of transforming growth factor-β1 by fibroblasts after costimulation with IL-17A and the profibrotic factor wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 5A (Wnt5a). We showed that an allergen-specific Th17 response in the airway is accompanied by increased airway remodeling. Furthermore, we revealed that increased remodeling is not only based on neutrophilic inflammation, but also on the direct impact of IL-17A on airway structural cells.
