Antigen-presenting cells (APC), like dendritic cells (DC), are essential for T-cell activation, leading to immunity or tolerance. Multiple DC subsets each play a unique role in the immune response. Here, a novel splenic dendritic-like APC has been characterized in mice that has immune function and cell surface phenotype distinct from other, described DC subsets. These were identified as a cell type continuously produced in spleen long-term cultures (LTC) and have an in vivo equivalent cell type in mice, namely ‘L-DC’. This study characterizes LTC-DC in terms of marker phenotype and function, and compares them with L-DC and other known splenic DC and myeloid subsets. L-DC display a myeloid dendritic-like phenotype equivalent to LTC-DC as CD11cloCD11bhiMHC-II−CD8α− cells, distinct by high accessibility and endocytic capacity for blood-borne antigen. Both LTC-DC and L-DC have strong antigen cross-presentation ability leading to strong activation of CD8+ T cells, particularly after exposure to lipopolysaccharide. However, they have weak ability to stimulate CD4+ T cells in antigen-specific responses. Evidence is presented here for a novel DC type produced by in vitro haematopoiesis which has distinct antigen-presenting potential and reflects a DC subset present also in vivo in spleen. 相似文献

Variations in co-signal ligand expression and cytokine production greatly influence the antigen-presenting properties of migrating DCs in regional lymph nodes (RLNs). Here we investigated DCs migrating from the oral mucosa using CD326 and CD103 antigens for discriminate CD207+ Langerhans cells (LCs) from CD207+ submucosal DCs (SMDCs). Similar to DCs migrating from the skin, we identified four distinct oral mucosal DC (OMDC) subsets, CD11chiCD207−CD103−CD326intCD11bhi (F1; resident CD11bhi SMDCs), CD11cint/loCD207-CD103-CD326loCD11bint/hi (F2; newly recruited blood-derived SMDCs), CD11cint/loCD207+CD103+CD326int/hiCD11blo (CD103+ F3; resident CD207+ SMDCs), and CD11cint/loCD207+CD103-CD326int/hiCD11blo (CD103- F3; resident LCs). F1 DCs migrated rapidly after fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) painting and expressed notably high levels of CD86, CD273, and CD274 at an earlier time point. In contrast, CD103− LCs expressing the highest levels of the epithelial cell adhesion molecule CD326 accounted for a minor subset at the earlier time point, but increased slowly with CD103+CD207+ SMDCs. However, their expression of CD86, CD273, and CD274 was very limited. The delayed migration and limited induction of co-signal ligands suggest that roles of OMLCs are distinct from those of the other three DC subsets. The identification of distinct subsets of OMDCs in RLNs may benefit efforts to determine the functional specialization of each subset in T cell responses against orally administrated antigens. 相似文献

In the respiratory tract, different dendritic cell (DC) populations guard a tight balance between tolerance and immunity to infectious or harmless materials to which the airways are continuously exposed. For infectious and noninfectious antigens administered via different routes, different subsets of DC might contribute during the induction of T-cell tolerance and immunity. We studied the impact of primary respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection on respiratory DC composition in C57BL/6 mice. We also tracked the migration of respiratory DC to the lymph nodes and studied antigen presentation by lung-derived and lymph node-resident DC to CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. We observed a massive influx of mainly CD103− CD11bhigh CD11c+ conventional DC (cDC) and plasmacytoid DC during the first 7 days of RSV infection, while CD103+ CD11blow CD11c+ cDC disappeared from the lung. The two major subsets of lung tissue DC, CD103+ CD11blow CD11c+ and CD103− CD11bhigh CD11c+ cDC, both transported RSV RNA to the lung-draining lymph node. Furthermore, these lung-derived cDC subsets as well as resident LN DC, which did not contain viral RNA, displayed viral antigen by major histocompatibility complex class I and class II to CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. Taken together, our data indicate that during RSV infections, at least three DC subsets might be involved during the activation of lymph node-homing naïve and memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) constitutes a major health burden for infants, elderly people, and immunocompromised individuals (16, 19). The virus infects most children in their first year of life and is the main cause of severe lower respiratory tract infections in infants (19). Despite many decades of research, the immune response to RSV is still not completely understood. Infection with RSV leads to poor development of immunity, and recurrent infections are common (23). In mice, it was found that RSV induces virus-specific CD8+ T-cell responses in the lung that are functionally impaired (10). It has been suggested that a functional inactivation of CD8+ T cells by RSV could be a reason for the short-lived immune response. Furthermore, we and others have previously shown that human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC) can be infected with RSV, which results in a strong inhibition of their ability to support proliferative responses and induction of effector function in naïve T cells (11, 12). An early vaccine trial with formalin-inactivated RSV in alum administered intramuscularly elicited a memory immune response that caused a strong aberrant secondary immune response in vaccinees upon natural exposure with live virus. This resulted in a high rate of morbidity in the vaccinated children (31). These observations underscore the necessity to understand the components of the immune response that are protective during RSV infections and the need to understand the mechanism by which protective immunity can be elicited for the development of an effective and safe vaccine.DC play an important role in the initiation of both the innate and adaptive immune responses to pathogens including RSV (3). They are a heterogeneous population of cells represented by two main subsets, the myeloid or “conventional” CD11c+ DC (cDC) and the CD11clow/mPDCA-1+ plasmacytoid DC (pDC) (47, 52). cDC can be further divided based on the expression of surface markers and anatomic location. cDC in the tissue and cDC in lymph nodes (LN) appear to be different subsets arising from different pools of progenitor cells and with specialized functions (13, 17, 30, 33, 46). In the mouse lung, two major cDC populations are derived from blood monocytes. CD11c+ major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II)-positive (MHC-II+) CD103− CD11bhigh cDC (CD11bhi cDC) are localized in the parenchyma. These cells are the main producers of chemokines and are important for the recruitment of leukocytes (4). A second cDC population, CD11c+ MHC-II+ CD103+ CD11blow cDC (CD103+ cDC), is located directly underneath the airway epithelium. These CD103+ cDC express the integrin αEβ7; therefore, they are found mainly at the basal lamina of the bronchial epithelia and arterioles, which express E-cadherin, the ligand for αEβ7. Furthermore, CD103+ cDC express the tight-junction proteins ZO-2 and claudin-7, which enables them to sample the airways with their extensions (45). In the lung-draining LN, in addition to pDC, at least two steady-state populations of cDC are present, which are characterized by the expression or absence of CD8α. In contrast to the lung tissue DC, these cells enter the LN from the blood, and they are directly derived from a bone marrow precursor (38, 39, 41). In addition, minor fractions of tissue-derived cDC also access draining LN in the steady state (28). Several studies have addressed the roles of different DC subsets that are present in the tissue and LN draining the infection site. In spleen and skin-draining LN, the role of CD8α+ cDC seems to be important for the initiation of anti-ovalbumin and antiviral CD8+ T-cell responses (6, 26, 35). In mice exposed to innocuous (ovalbumin) or infectious (influenza virus) antigen, functional specialization was described for CD103+ and CD11bhi lung cDC subsets. CD11bhi cDC presented intranasally administered ovalbumin or influenza virus antigen mainly to naïve CD4+ T cells, while CD103+ cDC were important for the induction of CD8+ T-cell responses (14, 32).The ability of DC to present or cross-present antigens depends on the type of antigenic materials and the uptake mechanism used by antigen-presenting cells. Hence, different pathogens and innocuous antigens might be differently presented by different DC subsets. We studied the kinetics of lung DC migration and repopulation during primary RSV infection in C57BL/6 mice. We found that upon RSV infection, CD103+ cDC disappeared from the lung, while there was a net increase in numbers of CD11bhi cDC, pDC, and macrophages. Within the first 48 h after virus exposure, both CD103+ and CD11bhi cDC rapidly migrated to the lung-draining mediastinal LN (MLN), while this accumulation was absent in the non-lung-draining axillary LN. The migrating cDC showed the highest level of expression of the costimulatory molecules CD40, CD80, and CD86, which are necessary for T-cell stimulation, compared to the MLN-resident cDC. Furthermore, the migrating cDC transported viral RNA to the MLN and were capable of stimulating RSV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses. Resident cDC in the LN were uniformly negative for viral RNA. However, resident cDC in the LN did present viral antigen to CD8+ and CD4+ T cells via MHC-I and MHC-II, respectively. 相似文献

Lung dendritic cells (DC) play a fundamental role in sensing invading pathogens 1,2 as well as in the control of tolerogenic responses 3 in the respiratory tract. At least three main subsets of lung dendritic cells have been described in mice: conventional DC (cDC) 4, plasmacytoid DC (pDC) 5 and the IFN-producing killer DC (IKDC) 6,7. The cDC subset is the most prominent DC subset in the lung 8. The common marker known to identify DC subsets is CD11c, a type I transmembrane integrin (β2) that is also expressed on monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils and some B cells 9. In some tissues, using CD11c as a marker to identify mouse DC is valid, as in spleen, where most CD11c+ cells represent the cDC subset which expresses high levels of the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II). However, the lung is a more heterogeneous tissue where beside DC subsets, there is a high percentage of a distinct cell population that expresses high levels of CD11c bout low levels of MHC-II. Based on its characterization and mostly on its expression of F4/80, an splenic macrophage marker, the CD11chiMHC-IIlo lung cell population has been identified as pulmonary macrophages 10 and more recently, as a potential DC precursor 11. In contrast to mouse pDC, the study of the specific role of cDC in the pulmonary immune response has been limited due to the lack of a specific marker that could help in the isolation of these cells. Therefore, in this work, we describe a procedure to isolate highly purified mouse lung cDC. The isolation of pulmonary DC subsets represents a very useful tool to gain insights into the function of these cells in response to respiratory pathogens as well as environmental factors that can trigger the host immune response in the lung.

Background
Approximately 3–5% of patients with melioidosis manifest CNS symptoms; however, the clinical data regarding neurological melioidosis are limited.Methods and Findings
We established a mouse model of melioidosis with meningitis characterized by neutrophil infiltration into the meninges histologically and B. pseudomallei in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by bacteriological culturing methods. As the disease progresses, the bacteria successively colonize the spleen, liver, bone marrow (BM) and brain and invade splenic and BM cells by days 2 and 6 post-infection, respectively. The predominant cell types intracellularly infected with B. pseudomallei were splenic and BM CD11b+ populations. The CD11b+Ly6Chigh inflamed monocytes, CD11b+Ly6Clow resident monocytes, CD11b+Ly6G+ neutrophils, CD11b+F4/80+ macrophages and CD11b+CD19+ B cells were expanded in the spleen and BM during the progression of melioidosis. After adoptive transfer of CD11b populations harboring B. pseudomallei, the infected CD11b+ cells induced bacterial colonization in the brain, whereas CD11b− cells only partially induced colonization; extracellular (free) B. pseudomallei were unable to colonize the brain. CD62L (selectin) was absent on splenic CD11b+ cells on day 4 but was expressed on day 10 post-infection. Adoptive transfer of CD11b+ cells expressing CD62L (harvested on day 10 post-infection) resulted in meningitis in the recipients, but transfer of CD11b+ CD62L-negative cells did not.Conclusions/Significance
We suggest that B. pseudomallei-infected CD11b+ selectin-expressing cells act as a Trojan horse and are able to transmigrate across endothelial cells, resulting in melioidosis with meningitis. 相似文献7.

Gene expression profiling of the blood cell response induced early after vaccination has previously been demonstrated to predict the immunogenicity of vaccines. In this study, we evaluated whether the analysis of the gene expression profile of skin-migrated dendritic cells (DCs) could be informative for the in vitro prediction of immunogenicity of vaccine, using canine adenovirus serotype 2 (CAV2) as vaccine vector. CAV2 has been shown to induce immunity to transgenes in several species including sheep and is an interesting alternative to human adenovirus-based vectors, based on the safety records of the parental strain in dogs and the lack of pre-existing immunity in non-host species. Skin-migrated DCs were collected from pseudo-afferent lymph in sheep. Both the CD11b+ -type and CD103+ -type skin-migrated DCs were transduced by CAV2. An analysis of the global gene response to CAV2 in the two skin DC subsets showed that the gene response in CD11b+ -type DCs was far higher and broader than in the CD103+ -type DCs. A newly released integrative analytic tool from Ingenuity systems revealed that the CAV2-modulated genes in the CD11b+ -type DCs clustered in several activated immunogenicity-related functions, such as immune response, immune cell trafficking and inflammation. Thus gene profiling in skin-migrated DC in vitro indicates that the CD11b+ DC type is more responsive to CAV2 than the CD103+ DC type, and provides valuable information to help in evaluating and possibly improving viral vector vaccine effectiveness. 相似文献

Background
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of severe hospital-acquired respiratory tract infections and death but little is known regarding the modulation of respiratory dendritic cell (DC) subsets. Plasmacytoid DC (pDC) are specialized type 1 interferon producing cells and considered to be classical mediators of antiviral immunity.Method
By using multiparameter flow cytometry analysis we have analysed the modulation of respiratory DC subsets after intratracheal Klebsiella pneumonia infection.Results
Data indicate that pDCs and MoDC were markedly elevated in the post acute pneumonia phase when compared to mock-infected controls. Analysis of draining mediastinal lymph nodes revealed a rapid increase of activated CD103+ DC, CD11b+ DC and MoDC within 48 h post infection. Lung pDC identification during bacterial pneumonia was confirmed by extended phenotyping for 120G8, mPDCA-1 and Siglec-H expression and by demonstration of high Interferon-alpha producing capacity after cell sorting. Cytokine expression analysis of ex vivo-sorted respiratory DC subpopulations from infected animals revealed elevated Interferon-alpha in pDC, elevated IFN-gamma, IL-4 and IL-13 in CD103+ DC and IL-19 and IL-12p35 in CD11b+ DC subsets in comparison to CD11c+ MHC-class IIlow cells indicating distinct functional roles. Antigen-specific naive CD4+ T cell stimulatory capacity of purified respiratory DC subsets was analysed in a model system with purified ovalbumin T cell receptor transgenic naive CD4+ responder T cells and respiratory DC subsets, pulsed with ovalbumin and matured with Klebsiella pneumoniae lysate. CD103+ DC and CD11b+ DC subsets represented the most potent naive CD4+ T helper cell activators.Conclusion
These results provide novel insight into the activation of respiratory DC subsets during Klebsiella pneumonia infection. The detection of increased respiratory pDC numbers in bacterial pneumonia may indicate possible novel pDC functions with respect to lung repair and regeneration. 相似文献10.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are involved in T cell activation via their uptake and presentation of antigens. In vivo function of DCs was analyzed using transgenic mouse models that express diphtheria toxin receptor (DTR) or the diphtheria toxin-A subunit (DTA) under the control of the CD11c/Itgax promoter. However, CD11c+ cells are heterogeneous populations that contain several DC subsets. Thus, the in vivo function of each subset of DCs remains to be elucidated. Here, we describe a new inducible DC ablation model, in which DTR expression is induced under the CD11c/Itgax promoter after Cre-mediated excision of a stop cassette (CD11c-iDTR). Crossing of CD11c-iDTR mice with CAG-Cre transgenic mice, expressing Cre recombinase under control of the cytomegalovirus immediate early enhancer-chicken beta-actin hybrid promoter, led to the generation of mice, in which DTR was selectively expressed in CD11c+ cells (iDTRΔ mice). We successfully deleted CD11c+ cells in bone marrow-derived DCs in vitro and splenic CD11c+ cells in vivo after DT treatment in iDTRΔ mice. This mouse strain will be a useful tool for generating mice lacking a specific subset of DCs using a transgenic mouse strain, in which the Cre gene is expressed by a DC subset-specific promoter. 相似文献

Mycobacteria and their cell wall components have been used with varying degrees of success to treat tumors, and Mycobacterium bovis BCG remains in use as a standard treatment for superficial bladder cancer. Mycobacterial immunotherapy is very effective in eliciting local immune responses against solid tumors when administered topically; however, its effectiveness in eliciting adaptive immune responses has been variable. Using a subcutaneous mouse thymoma model, we investigated whether immunotherapy with Mycobacterium smegmatis, a fast-growing mycobacterium of low pathogenicity, induces a systemic adaptive immune response. We found that M. smegmatis delivered adjacent to the tumor site elicited a systemic anti-tumor immune response that was primarily mediated by CD8+ T cells. Of note, we identified a CD11c+CD40intCD11bhiGr-1+ inflammatory DC population in the tumor-draining lymph nodes that was found only in mice treated with M. smegmatis. Our data suggest that, rather than rescuing the function of the DC already present in the tumor and/or tumor-draining lymph node, M. smegmatis treatment may promote anti-tumor immune responses by inducing the involvement of a new population of inflammatory cells with intact function. 相似文献

IL-10-producing B (Breg) cells regulate various immune responses. However, their phenotype remains unclear. CD40 expression was significantly increased in B cells by LPS, and the Breg cells were also enriched in CD40hiCD5+ B cells. Furthermore, CD40 expression on Breg cells was increased by IL-10, CD40 ligand, and B cell-activating factor, suggesting that CD40hi is a common phenotype of Breg cells. LPS-induced CD40 expression was largely suppressed by an anti-IL-10 receptor antibody and in IL-10−/−CD5+CD19+ B cells. The autocrine effect of IL-10 on the CD40 expression was largely suppressed by an inhibitor of JAK/STAT3. In vivo, the LPS treatment increased the population of CD40hiCD5+ Breg cells in mice. However, the population of CD40hiCD5+ B cells was minimal in IL-10−/− mice by LPS. Altogether, our findings show that Breg cells are largely enriched in CD40hiCD5+ B cells and the autocrine effect of IL-10 is critical to the formation of CD40hiCD5+ Breg cells.

Two critical functions of dendritic cells (DC) are to activate and functionally polarize T cells. Activated T cells can, in turn, influence DC maturation, although their effect on de novo DC development is poorly understood. Here we report that activation of T cells in mice, with either an anti-CD3 antibody or super antigen, drives the rapid formation of CD209+CD11b+CD11c+ MHC II+ DC from monocytic precursors (Mo-DC). GM-CSF is produced by T cells following activation, but surprisingly, it is not required for the formation of CD209+ Mo-DC. CD40L, however, is critical for the full induction of Mo-DC following T cell activation. T cell induced CD209+ Mo-DC are comparable to conventional CD209- DC in their ability to stimulate T cell proliferation. However, in contrast to conventional CD209- DC, CD209+ Mo-DC fail to effectively polarize T cells, as indicated by a paucity of T cell cytokine production. The inability of CD209+ Mo-DC to polarize T cells is partly explained by increased expression of PDL-2, since blockade of this molecule restores some polarizing capacity to the Mo-DC. These findings expand the range of signals capable of driving Mo-DC differentiation in vivo beyond exogenous microbial factors to include endogenous factors produced following T cell activation. 相似文献

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells can perform multiple functions characteristic of both innate and acquired immunity. Activation of iNKT cells in vivo by repeated α-GalCer injections can induce immune tolerance, but the mechanisms responsible for such immunoregulation remain unclear. We prepared α-GalCer-liposomes, a single injection of which into mice resulted in the expansion of splenic CD11clowCD45RBhigh cells, which consists of two populations, CD180+ and CD49b+. Expansion of these cells was not observed in α-GalCer-liposome-treated mice deficient in IL-10 or iNKT cells. MHC and co-stimulatory molecules were down-regulated in CD11clowCD180+ cells compared with conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), suggesting that the former possess characteristics of immature DCs. Meanwhile, the CD11clowCD49b+ cells expressed IL-10 and Ctla4, and possessed greater lytic activity than resting NK cells. These observations suggest that both immature DCs (CD11clowCD180+) and cytotoxic cells (CD11clowCD49b+) might be expanded by α-GalCer-activated iNKT cells and could therefore be involved in immune tolerance. 相似文献

Background
Tuberculosis is one of the world’s leading killers, stealing 1.4 million lives and causing 8.7 million new and relapsed infections in 2011. The only vaccine against tuberculosis is BCG which demonstrates variable efficacy in adults worldwide. Human infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis results in the influx of inflammatory cells to the lung in an attempt to wall off bacilli by forming a granuloma. Gr1intCD11b+ cells are called myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and play a major role in regulation of inflammation in many pathological conditions. Although MDSC have been described primarily in cancer their function in tuberculosis remains unknown. During M. tuberculosis infection it is crucial to understand the function of cells involved in the regulation of inflammation during granuloma formation. Understanding their relative impact on the bacilli and other cellular phenotypes is necessary for future vaccine and drug design.Methodology/Principal Findings
We compared the bacterial burden, lung pathology and Gr1intCD11b+ myeloid-derived suppressor cell immune responses in M. tuberculosis infected NOS2-/-, RAG-/-, C3HeB/FeJ and C57/BL6 mice. Gr-1+ cells could be found on the edges of necrotic lung lesions in NOS2-/-, RAG-/-, and C3HeB/FeJ, but were absent in wild-type mice. Both populations of Gr1+CD11b+ cells expressed high levels of arginase-1, and IL-17, additional markers of myeloid derived suppressor cells. We then sorted the Gr1hi and Gr1int populations from M. tuberculosis infected NOS-/- mice and placed the sorted both Gr1int populations at different ratios with naïve or M. tuberculosis infected splenocytes and evaluated their ability to induce activation and proliferation of CD4+T cells. Our results showed that both Gr1hi and Gr1int cells were able to induce activation and proliferation of CD4+ T cells. However this response was reduced as the ratio of CD4+ T to Gr1+ cells increased. Our results illustrate a yet unrecognized interplay between Gr1+ cells and CD4+ T cells in tuberculosis. 相似文献16.

CD19+CD24hiCD38hi cells play an essential role in maintaining immune homeostasis. CD40 signaling is involved in regulating the induction and function of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi cells. Changes in B-cell subpopulations and CD19+CD24hiCD38hi cells have been observed in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Whether changes in the B-cell subpopulation are related to the aberrant CD40 signaling in SLE patients remains unclear. In this study, we examined changes in the levels of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi cells and CD19+CD24hiCD38low cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the serum level of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in 30 patients with SLE. Through routine biochemical assays and flow cytometry assay, we found that (1) the CD19+CD24hiCD38hi cell subset was upregulated in SLE patients compared to that in healthy controls (HCs) (P < 0.05); (2) the CD19+CD24hiCD38low cell subset was downregulated in SLE patients compared with that in HCs; and (3) CD38 expression was positively correlated with SLE manifestations and the serum sCD40L level (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the relative level of Bregs is significantly higher in SLE patients than in HCs and is positively correlated with disease activity and sCD40L level. 相似文献

Mucus alterations are a feature of ulcerative colitis (UC) and can drive inflammation by compromising the mucosal barrier to luminal bacteria. The exact pathogenesis of UC remains unclear, but CD4+ T cells reacting to commensal antigens appear to contribute to pathology. Given the unique capacity of dendritic cells (DCs) to activate naive T cells, colon DCs may activate pathogenic T cells and contribute to disease. Using Muc2-/- mice, which lack a functional mucus barrier and develop spontaneous colitis, we show that colitic animals have reduced colon CD103+CD11b- DCs and increased CD103-CD11b+ phagocytes. Moreover, changes in colonic DC subsets and distinct cytokine patterns distinguish mice with distally localized colitis from mice with colitis spread proximally. Specifically, mice with proximally spread, but not distally contained, colitis have increased IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, TNFα, and IFNγ combined with decreased IL-10 in the distal colon. These individuals also have increased numbers of CD103+CD11b+ DCs in the distal colon. CD103+CD11b+ DCs isolated from colitic but not noncolitic mice induced robust differentiation of Th17 cells but not Th1 cells ex vivo. In contrast, CD103-CD11b+ DCs from colitic Muc2-/- mice induced Th17 as well as Th1 differentiation. Thus, the local environment influences the capacity of intestinal DC subsets to induce T cell proliferation and differentiation, with CD103+CD11b+ DCs inducing IL-17-producing T cells being a key feature of extensively spread colitis. 相似文献

Cutting edge: generation of splenic CD8+ and CD8- dendritic cell equivalents in Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand bone marrow cultures 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

We demonstrate that functional and phenotypic equivalents of mouse splenic CD8(+) and CD8(-) conventional dendritic cell (cDC) subsets can be generated in vitro when bone marrow is cultured with fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (flt3) ligand. In addition to CD45RA(high) plasmacytoid DC, two distinct CD24(high) and CD11b(high) cDC subsets were present, and these subsets showed equivalent properties to splenic CD8(+) and CD8(-) cDC, respectively, in the following: 1) surface expression of CD11b, CD24, and signal regulatory protein-alpha; 2) developmental dependence on, and mRNA expression of, IFN regulatory factor-8; 3) mRNA expression of TLRs and chemokine receptors; 4) production of IL-12 p40/70, IFN-alpha, MIP-1alpha, and RANTES in response to TLR ligands; 5) expression of cystatin C; and 6) cross-presentation of exogenous Ag to CD8 T cells. Furthermore, despite lacking surface CD8 expression, the CD24(high) subset contained CD8 mRNA and up-regulated surface expression when transferred into mice. This culture system allows access to bona fide counterparts of the splenic DC subsets. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide is one of the virulence factors of the soil‐borne pathogens Burkholderia pseudomallei, B. thailandensis, B. cenocepacia and B. multivorans, which cause septic melioidosis (often in B. pseudomallei infections but rarely in B. thailandensis infections) or cepacia syndromes (commonly in B. cenocepacia infections but rarely in B. multivorans infections). The inflammatory responses in Burkholderia LPS‐induced endotoxemia were evaluated in this study. Prior to induction, the conserved structures and functions of each purified LPS were determined using electrophoretic phenotypes, the ratios of 3‐hydroxytetradecanoic to 3‐hydroxyhexadecanoic acid and endotoxin units. In an in vitro assay, cytokine expression of myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 and Toll/IL‐1 receptor domain containing adapter‐inducing INF‐β‐dependent signaling‐dependent signaling differed when stimulated by different LPS. Endotoxemia was induced in mice by s.c. injection as evidenced by increasing serum concentrations of 3‐hydroxytetradecanoic acid and the septic prognostic markers CD62E and ICAM‐1. During endotoxemia, splenic CD11b+I‐A+, CD11b+CD80+, CD11b+CD86+ and CD11b+CD11c+ subpopulations increased. After induction with B. pseudomallei LPS, there were significant increases in splenic CD49b NK cells and CD14 macrophages. The inflamed CD11b+CCR2+, CD11b+CD31+, CD11b+CD14+, resident CD11b+CX3CR1+ and progenitor CD11b+CD34+ cells showed delayed increases in bone marrow. B. multivorans LPS was the most potent inducer of serum cytokines and chemokines, whereas B. cenocepacia LPS induced relatively low concentrations of the chemokines MIP‐1α and MIP‐1β. Endotoxin activities did not correlate with the virulence of Burkholderia strains. Thus factors other than LPS and/or other mechanisms of low activity LPS must mediate the pathogenicity of highly virulent Burkholderia strains. 相似文献
