    Dendritic cells (DCs) are essential mediators of the host immune response to surrounding microbes. In this study, we investigate the role of DCs in the pathogenesis of a widely used colitis model, dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis. The effect of dextran sulfate sodium on the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines by bone marrow-derived DCs (BM-DCs) was analyzed. BM-DCs were adoptively transferred into C57BL/6 mice or DCs were ablated using transgenic CD11c-DTR/GFP mice before treatment with 5% dextran sulfate sodium in drinking water. We found that dextran sulfate sodium induced production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-12 and TNF-alpha) and chemokines (KC, MIP-1alpha, MIP-2, and MCP-1) by DCs. Adoptive transfer of BM-DCs exacerbated dextran sulfate sodium colitis while ablation of DCs attenuated the colitis. We conclude that DCs are critical in the development of acute dextran sulfate sodium colitis and may serve a key role in immune balance of the gut mucosa.
