Dendritic cells (DCs), including conventional DCs (cDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) are critical for initiating and controlling the immune response. However, study of DC, particularly pDC, function is hampered by their low frequency in lymphoid organs, and existing methods for in vitro DC generation preferentially favor the production of cDCs over pDCs. Here, we demonstrated that pDCs could be efficiently generated in vitro from common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) using Flt3 ligand (FL) in three different culture systems, namely feeder-free, BM-feeder and AC-6-feeder. This was in stark contrast to common DC progenitors (CDPs), in which cDCs were prominently generated under the same conditions. Moreover, the efficiency and function of pDCs generated from these three systems varied. While AC-6 system showed the greatest ability to support pDC development from CLPs, BM-feeder system was able to develop pDCs with better functionality. pDCs could also be expanded in vivo using hydrodynamic gene transfer of FL, which was further enhanced by the combined treatment of FL and IFN-α. Interestingly, IFN-α selectively promoted the proliferation of CLPs and not CDPs, which might contribute to enhanced pDC development. Together, we have defined conditions for in vitro and in vivo generation of pDCs, which may be useful for investigating the biology of pDCs. 相似文献

B-cell-biased lymphoid progenitors (BLPs) and Pre-pro B cells lie at a critical juncture between B cell specification and commitment. However, both of these populations are heterogenous, which hampers investigation into the molecular changes that occur as lymphoid progenitors commit to the B cell lineage. Here, we demonstrate that there are PDCA-1+Siglec H+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) that co-purify with BLPs and Pre-pro B cells, which express little or no CD11c or Ly6C. Removal of PDCA-1+ pDCs separates B cell progenitors that express high levels of a Rag1-GFP reporter from Rag1-GFPlow/neg pDCs within the BLP and Pre-pro B populations. Analysis of Flt3-ligand knockout and IL-7Rα knockout mice revealed that there is a block in B cell development at the all-lymphoid progenitor (ALP) stage, as the majority of cells within the BLP or Pre-pro B gates were PDCA-1+ pDCs. Thus, removal of PDCA-1+ pDCs is critical for analysis of BLP and Pre-pro B cell populations. Analysis of B cell potential within the B220+CD19− fraction demonstrated that AA4.1+Ly6D+PDCA-1− Pre-pro B cells gave rise to CD19+ B cells at high frequency, while PDCA-1+ pDCs in this fraction did not. Interestingly, the presence of PDCA-1+ pDCs within CLPs may help to explain the conflicting results regarding the origin of these cells. 相似文献

We demonstrate here that "promiscuous" expression of myeloid or lymphoid genes precedes lineage commitment in hematopoiesis. Prospectively purified single common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) coexpress myelo-erythroid but not lymphoid genes, whereas single common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) coexpress T and B lymphoid but not myeloid genes. Genes unrelated to the adopted lineage are downregulated in bipotent and monopotent descendants of CMPs and CLPs. Promiscuous gene expression does not alter the biological potential of multipotent progenitors: CMPs with an activated endogenous M lysozyme locus yield normal proportions of myelo-erythroid colonies, and CLPs expressing the pre-T cell receptor alpha gene differentiate into normal numbers of B cells. Thus, the accessibility for multiple myeloid or lymphoid programs promiscuously may allow flexibility in fate commitments at these multipotent stages. 相似文献

Aging is accompanied by a reduction in the generation of B lymphocytes leading to impaired immune responses. In this study, we have investigated whether the decline in B lymphopoiesis is due to age‐related defects in the hematopoietic stem cell compartment. The ability of hematopoietic stem cells from old mice to generate B cells, as measured in vitro, is decreased 2–5‐fold, while myeloid potential remains unchanged. This age‐related decrease in B‐cell potential is more marked in common lymphoid progenitors (CLP) and was associated with reduced expression of the B‐lineage specifying factors, EBF and Pax5. Notably, retrovirus‐mediated expression of EBF complemented the age‐related loss of B‐cell potential in CLP isolated from old mice. Furthermore, transduction of CLP from old mice with a constitutively active form of STAT5 restored both EBF and Pax5 expression and increased B‐cell potential. These results are consistent with a mechanism, whereby reduced expression of EBF with age decreases the frequency with which multipotent hematopoietic progenitors commit to a B‐cell fate, without altering their potential to generate myeloid cells. 相似文献

Natural helper (NH) cells are recently discovered innate immune cells that confer protective type 2 immunity during helminth infection and mediate influenza-induced airway hypersensitivity. Little is known about the ontogeny of NH cells. We report in this study that NH cells derive from bone marrow lymphoid progenitors. Using RAG-1Cre/ROSA26(YFP) mice, we show that most NH cells are marked with a history of RAG-1 expression, implying lymphoid developmental origin. The development of NH cells depends on the cytokine receptor Flt3, which is required for the efficient generation of bone marrow lymphoid progenitors. Finally, we demonstrate that lymphoid progenitors, but not myeloid-erythroid progenitors, give rise to NH cells in vivo. This work therefore expands the lymphocyte family, currently comprising T, B, and NK cells, to include NH cells as another type of innate lymphocyte that derives from bone marrow lymphoid progenitors. 相似文献

Common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) are thought to represent major intermediates in the transition of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to B lineage lymphocytes. However, it has been obvious for some time that CLPs are heterogeneous, and there has been controversy concerning their differentiation potential. We have now resolved four Flt3+ CLP subsets that are relatively homogenous and capable of forming B cells. Differentiation potential and gene expression patterns suggest Flt3+ CLPs lacking both Ly6D and RAG-1 are the least differentiated. In addition to B cells, they generate natural killer (NK) and dendritic cells (DCs). At the other extreme is a subset of the recently described Flt3+ Ly6D+ CLPs that have a history of RAG-1 expression and are B lineage restricted. These relatively abundant and potent CLPs were depleted within 48 hours of acute in vivo estrogen elevation, suggesting they descend from hormone regulated progenitors. This contrasts with the hormone insensitivity of other CLP subsets that include NK lineage progenitors. This progenitor heterogeneity and differentiation complexity may add flexibility in response to environmental changes. Expression of RAG-1 and display of Ly6D are both milestone events, but they are neither synchronized nor dependent on each other. 相似文献

T cell progenitors in the adult thymus (AT) are not well characterized. In the present study, we show that the earliest progenitors in the murine AT are, like those in fetal thymus (FT), unable to generate B or myeloid cells, but still retain the ability to generate NK cells and dendritic cells. However, AT progenitors are distinct from those in FT or fetal liver, in that they are able to produce approximately 100 times larger numbers of T cells than progenitors in fetuses. Such a capability to generate a large number of T cells was mainly attributed to their potential to extensively proliferate before the TCRbeta chain gene rearrangement. We propose that the AT is colonized by T/NK/dendritic cell tripotential progenitors with much higher potential to form diversity in TCRbeta chains than FT progenitors. 相似文献

Increased generation of dendritic cells from myeloid progenitors in autoimmune-prone nonobese diabetic mice 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Aberrant dendritic cell (DC) development and function may contribute to autoimmune disease susceptibility. To address this hypothesis at the level of myeloid lineage-derived DC we compared the development of DC from bone marrow progenitors in vitro and DC populations in vivo in autoimmune diabetes-prone nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, recombinant congenic nonobese diabetes-resistant (NOR) mice, and unrelated BALB/c and C57BL/6 (BL/6) mice. In GM-CSF/IL-4-supplemented bone marrow cultures, DC developed in significantly greater numbers from NOD than from NOR, BALB/c, and BL/6 mice. Likewise, DC developed in greater numbers from sorted (lineage(-)IL-7Ralpha(-)SCA-1(-)c-kit(+)) NOD myeloid progenitors in either GM-CSF/IL-4 or GM-CSF/stem cell factor (SCF)/TNF-alpha. [(3)H]TdR incorporation indicated that the increased generation of NOD DC was due to higher levels of myeloid progenitor proliferation. Generation of DC with the early-acting hematopoietic growth factor, flt3 ligand, revealed that while the increased DC-generative capacity of myeloid-committed progenitors was restricted to NOD cells, early lineage-uncommitted progenitors from both NOD and NOR had increased DC-generative capacity relative to BALB/c and BL/6. Consistent with these findings, NOD and NOR mice had increased numbers of DC in blood and thymus and NOD had an increased proportion of the putative myeloid DC (CD11c(+)CD11b(+)) subset within spleen. These findings demonstrate that diabetes-prone NOD mice exhibit a myeloid lineage-specific increase in DC generative capacity relative to diabetes-resistant recombinant congenic NOR mice. We propose that an imbalance favoring development of DC from myeloid-committed progenitors predisposes to autoimmune disease in NOD mice. 相似文献

We found that the stromal cell-derived factor-1/pre-B cell growth-stimulating factor receptor, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), is expressed on human CD34+ bone marrow (BM) cells. Stringently FACS-sorted CD34+CXCR4+ BM cells completely lack myeloid, erythroid, megakaryocytic, and mixed colony-forming potential (myeloid progenitors), but give rise to B and T lymphoid progenitors, whereas CD34+CXCR4- BM cells can generate colonies formed by myeloid progenitors and can also develop into these lymphoid progenitors. Therefore, expression of CXCR4 on CD34+ BM cells can allow lymphoid progenitors to be discriminated from myeloid progenitors. Because CD34+CXCR4+ cells are differentiated from CD34+CXCR4- cells, multipotential progenitors located in the BM are likely to be negative for CXCR4 expression. CXCR4 seems to be expressed earlier than the IL-7R and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase during early lymphohemopoiesis. These results suggest that the expression of CXCR4 on CD34+ BM cells is one of the phenotypic alterations for committed lymphoid progenitors. 相似文献

CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) alpha is a critical regulator for early myeloid differentiation. Although C/EBPalpha has been shown to convert B cells into myeloid lineage, precise roles of C/EBPalpha in various hematopoietic progenitors and stem cells still remain obscure. To examine the consequence of C/EBPalpha activation in various progenitors and to address the underlying mechanism of lineage conversion in detail, we established transgenic mice expressing a conditional form of C/EBPalpha. Using these mice, we show that megakaryocyte/erythroid progenitors (MEPs) and common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) could be redirected to functional macrophages in vitro by a short-term activation of C/EBPalpha, and the conversion occurred clonally through biphenotypic intermediate cells. Moreover, in vivo activation of C/EBPalpha in mice led to the increase of mature granulocytes and myeloid progenitors with a concomitant decrease of hematopoietic stem cells and nonmyeloid progenitors. Our study reveals that C/EBPalpha can activate the latent myeloid differentiation program of MEP and CLP and shows that its global activation affects multilineage homeostasis in vivo. 相似文献

This protocol details a method to analyze the ability of purified hematopoietic progenitors to generate plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) in intestinal Peyer''s patch (PP). Common dendritic cell progenitors (CDPs, lin- c-kitlo CD115+ Flt3+) were purified from the bone marrow of C57BL6 mice by FACS and transferred to recipient mice that lack a significant pDC population in PP; in this case, Ifnar-/- mice were used as the transfer recipients. In some mice, overexpression of the dendritic cell growth factor Flt3 ligand (Flt3L) was enforced prior to adoptive transfer of CDPs, using hydrodynamic gene transfer (HGT) of Flt3L-encoding plasmid. Flt3L overexpression expands DC populations originating from transferred (or endogenous) hematopoietic progenitors. At 7-10 days after progenitor transfer, pDCs that arise from the adoptively transferred progenitors were distinguished from recipient cells on the basis of CD45 marker expression, with pDCs from transferred CDPs being CD45.1+ and recipients being CD45.2+. The ability of transferred CDPs to contribute to the pDC population in PP and to respond to Flt3L was evaluated by flow cytometry of PP single cell suspensions from recipient mice. This method may be used to test whether other progenitor populations are capable of generating PP pDCs. In addition, this approach could be used to examine the role of factors that are predicted to affect pDC development in PP, by transferring progenitor subsets with an appropriate knockdown, knockout or overexpression of the putative developmental factor and/or by manipulating circulating cytokines via HGT. This method may also allow analysis of how PP pDCs affect the frequency or function of other immune subsets in PPs. A unique feature of this method is the use of Ifnar-/- mice, which show severely depleted PP pDCs relative to wild type animals, thus allowing reconstitution of PP pDCs in the absence of confounding effects from lethal irradiation. 相似文献

B cells and dendritic cells (DCs) each develop from poorly described progenitor cells in the bone marrow (BM). Although a subset of DCs has been proposed to arise from lymphoid progenitors, a common developmental pathway for B cells and BM-derived DCs has not been clearly identified. To address this possibility, we performed a comprehensive analysis of DC differentiative potential among lymphoid and B lymphoid progenitor populations in adult mouse BM. We found that both the common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs), shown here and elsewhere to give rise exclusively to lymphocytes, and a down-stream early B-lineage precursor population devoid of T and NK cell precursor potential each give rise to DCs when exposed to the appropriate cytokines. This result contrasts with more mature B-lineage precursors, all of which failed to give rise to detectable numbers of DCs. Significantly, both CLP and early B-lineage-derived DCs acquired several surface markers associated with functional DCs, and CLP-derived DCs readily induced proliferation of allogeneic CD4(+) T cells. Surprisingly, however, DC differentiation from both lymphoid-restricted progenitors was accompanied by up-regulation of CD11b expression, a cell surface molecule normally restricted to myeloid lineage cells including putative myeloid DCs. Together, these data demonstrate that loss of DC developmental potential is the final step in B-lineage commitment and thus reveals a previously unrecognized link between early B cell and DC ontogeny. 相似文献

An improved understanding of the biology underlying leukemogenesis, including the determination of the cells of leukemia origin, is of great importance as it can have immediate implications on patient treatment and management. The article by Riemke et al ( 2016 ) provides further evidence that a subgroup of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the most common acute leukemia in adults, might arise from T‐lymphoid progenitor cells. This study not only supports that the lymphoid fate of early T‐cell progenitors is not yet fully stabilized but also shows that under oncogenic conditions, this multilineage plasticity potential of T‐lymphoid progenitors can lead to transdifferentiation into myeloid leukemia. While gene expression profiles suggest that approximately 5% of all AML cases originate from T‐lymphoid progenitors, novel treatment strategies targeting JAK2/STAT3 signaling might open new avenues for this AML cohort. 相似文献

A model of hematopoietic development wherein multipotentiality is conserved until segregation of myeloid and lymphoid potential has recently been challenged, proposing that megakaryocyte/erythrocyte (MegE) potential is lost in Flk2/Flt3-expressing early progenitors. Here, we used sensitive in vivo approaches to quantitatively and kinetically assess the MegE potential of hematopoietic stem cells and various Flk2(+) early progenitors and compared it with the MegE potential of downstream committed myeloid and lymphoid progenitors and with their ability to give rise to mature myelomonocytic and lymphoid cells. We demonstrate that Flk2(+) early progenitors retain MegE potential in vivo both at the population and clonal levels. These results indicate that Flk2 expression by early progenitors is not at the expense of full multipotency and support the current model of hematopoietic development with segregation of myeloid and lymphoid lineages from multipotent progenitors. 相似文献

This study was designed to investigate the regulatory role of soluble interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) fusion protein (Hyper-IL-6) in the differentiation of human myeloid and erythroid progenitors by a serum-free liquid suspension culture system, using the human cord blood-derived CD34(+)CD38(-) cells as a target. We found that Hyper-IL-6 promoted the generation of CD15(+) granulocytic and CD14(+) monocytic cells and suppressed that of CD14(-)CD1a(+) dendritic cells from CD36(-)CD15(-)CD14(-)CD1a(-)IL-6R(+) myeloid progenitors. Conversely, CD34(+)CD38(-) cell-derived early erythroid progenitors were negative for IL-6R expression. Hyper-IL-6 potentiated the generation of CD36(+)glycophorinA(high) mature erythroid cells from the IL-6R(-) early erythroid progenitors. Our results indicate that Hyper-IL-6 augments the generation of CD15(+) granulocytic, CD14(+) monocytic and CD36(+)glycophorinA(high) cell and suppresses that of CD14(-)CD1a(+) dendritic cells. 相似文献

Thymic cellularity is maintained throughout life by progenitor cells originating in the bone marrow. In this study, we describe adult mouse bone cells that exhibit several features characteristic of prothymocytes. These include 1) rapid thymic engraftment kinetics following i.v. transplantation, 2) dramatic expansion of thymic progeny, and 3) limited production of hemopoietic progeny other than thymocytes. The adult mouse bone marrow population that is depleted of cells expressing any of a panel of lineage-specific Ags, stem cell Ag-1 positive, and not expressing the Thy1.1 Ag (Thy1.1(-)) (Thy1.1(-) progenitors) can repopulate the thymus 9 days more rapidly than can hemopoietic stem cells, a rate of thymic repopulation approaching that observed with transplanted thymocytes. Additionally, Thy1.1(-) progenitors expand prolifically to generate thymocyte progeny comparable in absolute numbers to those observed from parallel hemopoietic stem cell transplants, and provide a source of progenitors that spans multiple waves of thymic seeding. Nevertheless, the Thy1.1(-) population yields relatively few B cells and rare myeloid progeny posttransplant. These observations describe the phenotype of an adult mouse bone marrow population highly enriched for rapidly engrafting, long-term thymocyte progenitors. Furthermore, they note disparity in B and T cell expansion from this lymphoid progenitor population and suggest that it contains the progenitor primarily responsible for seeding the thymus throughout life. 相似文献
