Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is an innate immune molecule that regulates pathogen clearance and lung inflammation. SP-A modulates innate immune functions such as phagocytosis, cytokine production, and chemotaxis; however, little is known about regulation of adaptive immunity by SP-A. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cell with the unique capacity to activate naive T cells and initiate adaptive immunity. The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that SP-A regulates the differentiation of immature DCs into potent T cell stimulators. The data show that incubation of immature DCs for 24 h with SP-A inhibits basal- and LPS-mediated expression of major histocompatibility complex class II and CD86. Stimulation of immature DCs by SP-A also inhibits the allostimulation of T cells, enhances dextran endocytosis, and alters DC chemotaxis toward RANTES and secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine. The effects on DC phenotype and function are similar for the structurally homologous C1q, but not for SP-D. These studies demonstrate that SP-A participates in the adaptive immune response by modulating important immune functions of DCs. 相似文献

Tumor immunosurveillance is mediated by innate and adaptive components of cellular immunity. A complex network of cellular interactions is needed to elicit protective antitumoral CD4+and CD8+T cell responses. Thereby dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role as professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) that take up antigens, process, and present them to prime na?ve T cells. Recognition and lysis of tumor cells has been attributed to innate effectors such as natural killer (NK), NKT and gammadeltaT cells. Recently, novel subsets of cytotoxic DCs, called "killer DCs" (KDCs), have been reported in rodents and humans. Killer dendritic cells could directly link innate and adaptive immunity. This review aims at comparing the different KDC populations, their phenotypes, killer function, and their potential application for anticancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

Intestinal microflora plays a pivotal role in the development of the innate immune system and is essential in shaping adaptive immunity. Dysbacteriosis of intestinal microflora induces altered immune responses and results in disease susceptibility. Dendritic cells (DCs), the professional antigen‐presenting cells, have gained increasing attention because they connect innate and adaptive immunity. They generate both immunity in response to stimulation by pathogenic bacteria and immune tolerance in the presence of commensal bacteria. However, few studies have examined the effects of intestinal dysbacteriosis on DCs. In this study, changes of DCs in the small intestine of mice under the condition of dysbacteriosis induced by ceftriaxone sodium were investigated. It was found that intragastric administration of ceftriaxone sodium caused severe dysteriosis in mice. Compared with controls, numbers of DCs in mice with dysbacteriosis increased significantly (P = 0.0001). However, the maturity and antigen‐presenting ability of DCs were greatly reduced. In addition, there was a significant difference in secretion of IL‐10 and IL‐12 between DCs from mice with dysbacteriosis and controls. To conclude, ceftriaxone‐induced intestinal dysbacteriosis strongly affected the numbers and functions of DCs. The present data suggest that intestinal microflora plays an important role in inducing and maintaining the functions of DCs and thus is essential for the connection between innate and adaptive immune responses. 相似文献

Natural killer (NK) cells and dendritic cells (DCs) are two types of specialized cell of the innate immune system, the reciprocal interaction of which results in a potent, activating cross-talk. For example, DCs can prime resting NK cells, which, in turn, after activation, might induce DC maturation. However, NK cells negatively regulate the function of DCs also by killing immature DCs in peripheral tissues. Moreover, a subset of NK cells, after migration to secondary lymphoid tissues, might have a role in the editing of mature DCs based on the selective killing of mature DCs that do not express optimal surface densities of MHC class I molecules. So, cognate interactions between NK cells and DCs provide a coordinated mechanism that is involved not only in the regulation of innate immunity, but also in the promotion of appropriate downstream adaptive responses for defence against pathogens. 相似文献

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a liver-borne infectious disease that remains a major global health threat. The mechanisms whereby HCV evades the host's immune defences and establishes persistent infection remain elusive; but they likely require a complex and coordinated interruption of the interplay between innate and adaptive immune actors. This review discusses the concept that HCV evades the host's immune response to its components partly because of its ability to inactivate the major orchestrator of the adaptive immune response - the DCs. It argues that DCs constitute an immunologically relevant cellular viral host actively targeted by HCV. This targeting disrupts TRIF- and IPS-1-dependent but not MyD88-coupled pathogen recognition receptors (PRR) sensing pathways in these infected cells to foil the networks by which innate immunity to HCV is translated into virus-specific adaptive immune-mediated host resistance. Thus, as a culprit, this cell-specific and numerically restrained DC defect offers a promising field of investigation in which to study and understand the HCV-restricted nature of the deficit in cellular immunity in persistently infected -individuals who have otherwise normal immune functions to unrelated pathogens. In this model, protective immunity is contingent on proper processing and delivery of danger signals by DCs presenting HCV antigens. 相似文献

Monocyte-derived dendritic cells in innate and adaptive immunity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Monocytes have been classically considered essential elements in relation with innate immune responses against pathogens, and inflammatory processes caused by external aggressions, infection and autoimmune disease. However, although their potential to differentiate into dendritic cells (DCs) was discovered 14 years ago, their functional relevance with regard to adaptive immune responses has only been uncovered very recently. Studies performed over the last years have revealed that monocyte-derived DCs play an important role in innate and adaptive immunity, due to their microbicidal potential, capacity to stimulate CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell responses and ability to regulate Immunoglobulin production by B cells. In addition, monocyte-derived DCs not only constitute a subset of DCs formed at inflammatory foci, as previously thought, but also comprise different subsets of DCs located in antigen capture areas, such as the skin and the intestinal, respiratory and reproductive tracts. 相似文献

Cutting Edge: Plasmacytoid dendritic cells provide innate immune protection against mucosal viral infection in situ 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Dendritic cells (DCs) are powerful APCs capable of activating naive lymphocytes. Of the DC subfamilies, plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) are unique in that they secrete high levels of type I IFNs in response to viruses but their role in inducing adaptive immunity remains divisive. In this study, we examined the importance of pDCs and their ability to recognize a virus through TLR9 in immunity against genital HSV-2 infection. We show that a low number of pDCs survey the vaginal mucosa at steady state. Upon infection, pDCs are recruited to the vagina and produce large amounts of type I IFNs in a TLR9-dependent manner and suppress local viral replication. Although pDCs are critical in innate defense against genital herpes challenge, adaptive Th1 immunity developed normally in the absence of pDCs. Thus, by way of migrating directly into the peripheral mucosa, pDCs act strictly as innate antiviral effector cells against mucosal viral infection in situ. 相似文献

Inverse correlation of maturity and antibacterial activity in human dendritic cells 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a key part of host defense against microbial pathogens, being part of the innate immune system, but also instructing the adaptive T cell response. This study was designed to evaluate whether human DCs directly contribute to innate immunity by killing intracellular bacteria, using tuberculosis as a model. DCs were detected in bronchoalveolar lavage samples indicating that DCs are available for immediate interaction with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. Tb) after inhalation of the pathogen. The phenotype of DC in bronchoalveolar lavage closely resembles monocyte-derived immature DC (iDC) according to the expression of CD1a, CD83, and CCR7. The antimicrobial activity of iDC against intracellular M. Tb inversely correlated with TNF-alpha-release and was enhanced by treatment with anti-TNF-alpha Abs. Differentiation of iDC into mature DC by addition of TNF-alpha or activation via Toll-like receptors further reduced killing of M. Tb. The antibacterial activity against intracellular M. Tb of all DCs was significantly lower than alveolar macrophages. Therefore, the maintenance of a pool of DCs at the site of disease activity in tuberculosis, and the maturation of these DC by TNF-alpha provides a mechanism by which M. Tb escapes the innate immune system. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the professional APCs of the immune system, enabling T cells to perceive and respond appropriately to potentially dangerous microbes, while also being able to maintain T cell tolerance toward self. In part, such tolerance can be determined by IL-10 released from certain types of regulatory T cells. IL-10 has previously been shown to render DCs unable to activate T cells and it has been assumed that this process represents a general block in maturation. Using serial analysis of gene expression, we show that IL-10 pretreatment of murine bone marrow-derived DCs alone causes significant changes in gene expression. Furthermore, these cells retain the ability to respond to Toll-like receptor agonists, but in a manner skewed toward the selective induction of mediators known to enhance local inflammation and innate immunity, among which we highlight a novel CXCR2 ligand, DC inflammatory protein-1. These data suggest that, while the presence of a protolerogenic and purportedly anti-inflammatory agent such as IL-10 precludes DCs from acquiring their potential as initiators of adaptive immunity, their ability to act as initiators of innate immunity in response to Toll-like receptor signaling is enhanced. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DC) play an important role in innate and adaptive immunity, interacting with T cells, NK, and NKT cells. A critical step in the interaction of the parasitic protozoa Leishmania with their host is the evasion of both innate and adaptive immunity, producing a long-lasting chronic infection. There is growing evidence that these parasites can modify the Ag-presenting and immunoregulatory functions of DCs. The cells and mechanisms involved in innate immune response against Leishmania are still poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how Leishmania infantum infection affects DC interactions with NK and invariant NKT (iNKTs) cells in humans. We found that infected immature DCs (iDCs) do not up-regulate HLA class I molecules. Despite this, iDCs become resistant to killing mediated by autologous NK cells due to the up-regulation of HLA-E expression, which protects target cells from NK-mediated lysis through interaction with the inhibitory receptor CD94/NKG2A. Furthermore, iDCs infected with L. infantum up-regulate CD1d cell surface expression and consequently can be efficiently recognized and killed by iNKT cells that produce IFN-gamma. These data suggest that L. infantum could be able to evade NK recognition; in contrast, iNKTs may play an important role in the immune response against Leishmania. 相似文献

At an early phase of viral infection, contact and cooperation between dendritic cells (DCs) and NK cells activates innate immunity, and also influences recruitment, when needed, of adaptive immunity. Influenza, an adaptable fast-evolving virus, annually causes acute, widespread infections that challenge the innate and adaptive immunity of humanity. In this study, we dissect and define the molecular mechanisms by which influenza-infected, human DCs activate resting, autologous NK cells. Three events in NK cell activation showed different requirements for soluble mediators made by infected DCs and for signals arising from contact with infected DCs. IFN-alpha was mainly responsible for enhanced NK cytolysis and also important for CD69 up-regulation, whereas IL-12 was necessary for enhancing IFN-gamma production. Increased CD69 expression and IFN-gamma production, but not increased cytolysis, required recognition of influenza-infected DCs by two NK cell receptors: NKG2D and NKp46. Abs specific for these receptors or their known ligands (UL16-binding proteins 1-3 class I-like molecules for NKG2D and influenza hemagglutinin for NKp46) inhibited CD69 expression and IFN-gamma production. Activation of NK cells by influenza-infected DCs and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C))-treated DCs was distinguished. Poly(I:C)-treated DCs did not express the UL16-binding protein 3 ligand for NKG2D, and in the absence of the influenza hemagglutinin there was no involvement of NKp46. 相似文献

Dendritic cells and cytokines in immune rejection of cancer 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in linking innate and adaptive immunity and, thus, in the generation of a protective immune response against both infectious diseases and tumors. The ability of DCs to prime and expand an immune response is regulated by signals acting through soluble mediators, mainly cytokines and chemokines. Understanding how cytokines influence DC functions and orchestrate the interactions of DCs with other immune cells is strictly instrumental to the progress in cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we will illustrate how certain cytokines and immune stimulating molecules can induce and sustain the antitumor immune response by acting on DCs. We will also discuss these cytokine-DC interactions in the light of clinical results in cancer patients. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in innate immune responses, and their interactions with T cells are critical for the induction of adaptive immunity. However, immunodeficiency viruses are efficiently captured by DCs and can be transmitted to and amplified in CD4(+) T cells, with potentially deleterious effects on the induction of immune responses. In DC-T-cell cocultures, contact with CD4(+), not CD8(+), T cells preferentially facilitated virus movement to and release at immature and mature DC-T-cell contact sites. This occurred within 5 min of DC-T-cell contact. While the fusion inhibitor T-1249 did not prevent virus capture by DCs or the release of viruses at the DC-T-cell contact points, it readily blocked virus transfer to and amplification in CD4(+) T cells. Higher doses of T-1249 were needed to block the more robust replication driven by mature DCs. Virus accumulated in DCs within T-1249-treated cocultures but these DCs were actually less infectious than DCs isolated from untreated cocultures. Importantly, T-1249 did not interfere with the stimulation of virus-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell responses when present during virus-loading of DCs or for the time of the DC-T-cell coculture. These results provide clues to identifying strategies to prevent DC-driven virus amplification in CD4(+) T cells while maintaining virus-specific immunity, an objective critical in the development of microbicides and therapeutic vaccines. 相似文献

Recent reports introduce a novel cell subset of DCs with antigenic phenotypes shared by both NK cells and B cells, but without surface markers of pDCs and T cells, appearing to be a chimera of NK cells and DCs, namely interferon-producing killer dendritic cells(IKDCs).IKDCs not only secret type I and type II interferons to recognize and kill tumor cells effectively, but also express MHC-II molecules to present antigens.Thus, IKDCs are considered as important immunosurveilance cells for tumors, providing a link between innate and adaptive immunity. 相似文献

Dendritic cells are specialized antigen presenting cells that bridge innate and adaptive immunity in mammals. This link between the ancient innate immune system and the more evolutionarily recent adaptive immune system is of particular interest in fish, the oldest vertebrates to have both innate and adaptive immunity. It is unknown whether dendritic cells co-evolved with the adaptive response, or if the connection between innate and adaptive immunity relied on a fundamentally different cell type early in evolution. We approached this question using the teleost model organism, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), with the aim of identifying dendritic cells based on their ability to stimulate naïve T cells. Adapting mammalian protocols for the generation of dendritic cells, we established a method of culturing highly motile, non-adherent cells from trout hematopoietic tissue that had irregular membrane processes and expressed surface MHCII. When side-by-side mixed leukocyte reactions were performed, these cells stimulated greater proliferation than B cells or macrophages, demonstrating their specialized ability to present antigen and therefore their functional homology to mammalian dendritic cells. Trout dendritic cells were then further analyzed to determine if they exhibited other features of mammalian dendritic cells. Trout dendritic cells were found to have many of the hallmarks of mammalian DCs including tree-like morphology, the expression of dendritic cell markers, the ability to phagocytose small particles, activation by toll-like receptor-ligands, and the ability to migrate in vivo. As in mammals, trout dendritic cells could be isolated directly from the spleen, or larger numbers could be derived from hematopoietic tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) as a rare type of leukocytes play an important role in bridging the innate and adaptive immune system. A subset of DCs, monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs), exists in very low numbers at steady state but become abundant in inflammatory states. These inflammation-associated DCs are potent producers of pro-inflammatory cytokines and potent inducers of T helper differentiation. They behave as a “double-edge” sword so that they not only mediate protective immunity but also immuno-pathology. It is still incompletely understood how their function is regulated. Emerging evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs), as a new class of gene regulators, potently regulate the function of moDCs. Here we summarize recent progress in this area. 相似文献
