Studies of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) dendritic cells (DC) have been hampered by the scarcity of DC and the lack of DC-specific surface markers. Four surface Ag have been recently described as specific markers for distinct subsets of DC and have been used for the isolation and characterization of fresh noncultured DC from lung resection specimens: BDCA-1 (CD1c) and BDCA-3 for myeloid DC type 1 and type 2, respectively, and BDCA-2 and BDCA-4 for plasmacytoid DC. The aim of this study was to develop a new method for the isolation of BALF DC, using immunomagnetic separation of BDCA+ cells. Mononuclear cells were obtained from BALF after Ficoll-Paque density gradient centrifugation. Monocytes, T cells and B cells were magnetically labelled and depleted. The unlabelled cell fraction was incubated with BDCA-1, BDCA-3 and BDCA-4 beads and the total BDCA+ DC were retained. The ability of isolated DC to induce T-cell responses was evaluated by coculturing the isolated DC with immunomagnetically sorted naive T cells. The above procedure resulted in a population of viable DC that showed a strong capacity in induce T-cell responses. Functionally intact human BALF myeloid DC types 1 and 2 as well as plasmacytoid DC can be easily obtained by immunomagnetic isolation. Considering that bronchoalveolar lavage is a minimally invasive procedure, these cells are optimal candidates with which to elucidate the properties and capabilities of pulmonary DC. 相似文献

Background
Direct allorecognition, i.e., donor lung-derived dendritic cells (DCs) stimulating recipient-derived T lymphocytes, is believed to be the key mechanism of lung allograft rejection. Myeloid (cDCs) and plasmacytoid (pDCs) are believed to have differential effects on T cell activation. However, the roles of each DC type on T cell activation and rejection pathology post lung transplantation are unknown.Methods
Using transgenic mice and antibody depletion techniques, either or both cell types were depleted in lungs of donor BALB/c mice (H-2d) prior to transplanting into C57BL/6 mice (H-2b), followed by an assessment of rejection pathology, and pDC or cDC-induced proliferation and cytokine production in C57BL/6-derived mediastinal lymph node T cells (CD3+).Results
Depleting either DC type had modest effect on rejection pathology and T cell proliferation. In contrast, T cells from mice that received grafts depleted of both DCs did not proliferate and this was associated with significantly reduced acute rejection scores compared to all other groups. cDCs were potent inducers of IFNγ, whereas both cDCs and pDCs induced IL-10. Both cell types had variable effects on IL-17A production.Conclusion
Collectively, the data show that direct allorecognition by donor lung pDCs and cDCs have differential effects on T cell proliferation and cytokine production. Depletion of both donor lung cDC and pDC could prevent the severity of acute rejection episodes. 相似文献3.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of dendritic cells (DCs) plays an important role in HIV-1 transmission and pathogenesis. Here, we studied the susceptibility of ex vivo-isolated CD11c+ myeloid DCs (MDCs) and CD123+ plasmacytoid DCs (PDCs) to HIV-1 infection and the function of these cells early after infection. Both DC subsets were susceptible to CCR5- and CXCR4-using HIV-1 isolates (BaL and IIIB, respectively). However, MDCs were more susceptible to HIV-1(BaL) infection than donor-matched PDCs. In addition, HIV-1(BaL) infected MDCs more efficiently than HIV-1(IIIB), whereas PDCs were equally susceptible to both isolates. While exposure to HIV-1 alone resulted in only weak maturation of DCs, Toll-like receptor 7/8 ligation induced full maturation in both infected and uninfected DCs. Maturation did not increase HIV-1 replication in infected DCs, and infected DCs retained their ability to produce tumor necrosis factor alpha after stimulation. Both HIV-1 isolates induced alpha interferon production exclusively in PDCs, irrespective of productive infection. In conclusion, PDCs and MDCs were susceptible to HIV-1 infection, but neither displayed functional defects as a consequence of infection. The difference in susceptibility of PDCs and MDCs to HIV-1 may have implications for HIV-1 transmission and DC-mediated transfer of HIV-1 to T cells. 相似文献

Chemokine-like receptor 1 expression and chemerin-directed chemotaxis distinguish plasmacytoid from myeloid dendritic cells in human blood 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are versatile cells of the immune response, secreting type I IFNs and differentiating into potent immunogenic or tolerogenic APCs. pDCs can express adhesion and chemokine receptors for lymphoid tissues, but are also recruited by unknown mechanisms during tissue inflammation. We use a novel mAb specific for serpentine chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) to evaluate its expression by circulating leukocytes in humans. We show that CMKLR1 is expressed by circulating pDCs in human blood, whereas myeloid DCs (mDCs) as well as lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils are negative. We identify a major serum agonist activity for CMKLR1 as chemerin, a proteolytically activated attractant and the sole known ligand for CMKLR1, and we show that chemerin is activated during blood coagulation and attracts pDC but not mDC in ex vivo chemotaxis assays. We conclude that CMKLR1 expression and chemerin-mediated chemotaxis distinguish circulating pDCs from mDCs, providing a potential mechanism for their differential contribution to or regulation of immune responses at sites of bleeding or inflammatory protease activity. 相似文献

Cutting edge: differential chemokine production by myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

To examine the different roles of myeloid dendritic cells (M-DCs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (P-DCs) in the induction and regulation of immune response, we have studied chemokine secretion by freshly isolated DC subsets in response to bacterial, viral, and T cell-derived stimuli. M-DCs selectively produced very high levels of the homeostatic chemokines CC chemokine ligand (CCL)17 and CCL22, while P-DCs produced very little if any. In contrast, the proinflammatory chemokine CCL3 was secreted mostly by P-DCs, whereas CCL4 and CXC chemokine ligand 8 were produced by both subsets. The selective production of CCL17 and CCL22 by M-DCs but not P-DCs was confirmed in vivo by immunohistology on human reactive lymph node sections. The high production of CCR4 ligands by M-DCs suggests their capacity to selectively recruit at sites of inflammation T cells with regulatory properties or with a Th2 phenotype, whereas P-DCs, by preferentially secreting CCR1/CCR5 ligands, would mostly recruit effector T cells and, in particular, Th1-type cells. 相似文献

The plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) constitutes a unique DC subset that links the innate and adaptive arm of the immune system. Whereas the unique capability of pDCs to produce large amounts of type I IFNs in response to pathogen recognition is generally accepted,their antigen-presenting function is often neglected since most studies on antigen presentation are aimed at other DC subsets. Recently, pDCs were demonstrated capable to present antigen leading to protective tumor immunity. In this review, we discuss how pDCs could be exploited in the fight against cancer by analyzing their capacity to capture,process and (cross-) present antigen. 相似文献

In this study, we analyzed the phenotypic and physiological consequences of the interaction of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). pDCs are one cellular target of HIV-1 and respond to the virus by producing alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) and chemokines. The outcome of this interaction, notably on the function of bystander myeloid DC (CD11c+ DCs), remains unclear. We therefore evaluated the effects of HIV-1 exposure on these two DC subsets under various conditions. Blood-purified pDCs and CD11c+ DCs were exposed in vitro to HIV-1, after which maturation markers, cytokine production, migratory capacity, and CD4 T-cell stimulatory capacity were analyzed. pDCs exposed to different strains of infectious or even chemically inactivated, nonreplicating HIV-1 strongly upregulated the expression of maturation markers, such as CD83 and functional CCR7, analogous to exposure to R-848, a synthetic agonist of toll-like receptor-7 and -8. In addition, HIV-1-activated pDCs produced cytokines (IFN-alpha and tumor necrosis factor alpha), migrated in response to CCL19 and, in coculture, matured CD11c+ DCs, which are not directly activated by HIV. pDCs also acquired the ability to stimulate na?ve CD4+ T cells, albeit less efficiently than CD11c+ DCs. This HIV-1-induced maturation of both DC subsets may explain their disappearance from the blood of patients with high viral loads and may have important consequences on HIV-1 cellular transmission and HIV-1-specific T-cell responses. 相似文献

Activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Four years after the discovery of mouse plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC), pDC are still very much an 'enigmatic' cell type. It is clear that pDC are potent producers of type I IFN in response to viral, bacterial and even mammalian nucleotides. The role that they play in vivo before and after activation is still under scrutiny. This review concentrates on the pathways to activation of pDC, examining the activating ligands, receptors and signalling molecules that are known to be involved, and the relevance of these activation pathways to human disease. 相似文献

CD1d-restricted invariant NK T (iNKT) cells and dendritic cells (DCs) have been shown to play crucial roles in various types of immune responses, including TLR9-dependent antiviral responses initiated by plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). However, the mechanism by which this occurs is enigmatic because TLRs are absent in iNKT cells and human pDCs do not express CD1d. To explore this process, pDCs were activated with CpG oligodeoxyribonucleotides, which stimulated the secretion of several cytokines such as type I and TNF-alpha. These cytokines and other soluble factors potently induced the expression of activation markers on iNKT cells, selectively enhanced double-negative iNKT cell survival, but did not induce their expansion or production of cytokines. Notably, pDC-derived factors licensed iNKT cells to respond to myeloid DCs: an important downstream cellular target of iNKT cell effector function and a critical contributor to the initiation of adaptive immune responses. This interaction supports the notion that iNKT cells can mediate cross-talk between DC subsets known to express mutually exclusive TLR and cytokine profiles. 相似文献

Self-stabilized CpG DNAs optimally activate human B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

We recently showed that 5'-terminal secondary structures in CpG DNA affect activity significantly more than those at the 3'-end [Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 306 (2003) 948]. The need for an accessible 5'-end of CpG DNA for activity suggested that the receptor reads the DNA sequence from this end. In continuation of these studies, we have designed immunomodulatory oligonucleotides (IMOs), consisting of a nine-mer stimulatory domain, containing a CpG motif and a hairpin-loop structure at the 3'-end, referred to as self-stabilized CpG DNAs. We studied the ability of self-stabilized CpG DNAs to stimulate human B-cell proliferation and interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) secretion in plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) culture assays. Self-stabilized CpG DNAs activated human B cells and induced plasmacytoid dendritic cells to secrete high levels of IFN-alpha. While both stimulatory and secondary structures in CpG DNAs were required for pDC activation, CpG motifs were sufficient to activate B cells. Interestingly, CpG motifs were not required for activity in the hairpin duplex region. Further modifications of the hairpin duplex region with a mixture of oligodeoxynucleotides and oligo-2'-O-methylribonucleotides in a heteroduplex formation permitted activation of both human B cells and pDCs. 相似文献

The loss of myeloid (mDC) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) from the blood of HIV-infected individuals is associated with progressive disease. It has been proposed that DC loss is due to increased recruitment to lymph nodes, although this has not been directly tested. Similarly as in HIV-infected humans, we found that lineage-negative (Lin(-)) HLA-DR(+)CD11c(+)CD123(-) mDC and Lin(-)HLA-DR(+)CD11c(-)CD123(+) pDC were lost from the blood of SIV-infected rhesus macaques with AIDS. In the peripheral lymph nodes of SIV-naive monkeys the majority of mDC were mature cells derived from skin that expressed high levels of HLA-DR, CD83, costimulatory molecules, and the Langerhans cell marker CD1a, whereas pDC expressed low levels of HLA-DR and CD40 and lacked costimulatory molecules, similar to pDC in blood. Surprisingly, both DC subsets were depleted from peripheral and mesenteric lymph nodes and spleens in monkeys with AIDS, although the activation status of the remaining DC subsets was similar to that of DC in health. In peripheral and mesenteric lymph nodes from animals with AIDS there was an accumulation of Lin(-)HLA-DR(moderate)CD11c(-)CD123(-) cells that resembled monocytoid cells but failed to acquire a DC phenotype upon culture, suggesting they were not DC precursors. mDC and pDC from the lymphoid tissues of monkeys with AIDS were prone to spontaneous death in culture, indicating that apoptosis may be a mechanism for their loss in disease. These findings demonstrate that DC are lost from rather than recruited to lymphoid tissue in advanced SIV infection, suggesting that systemic DC depletion plays a direct role in the pathophysiology of AIDS. 相似文献

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are a specialized sensor of viral and bacterial nucleic acids and a major producer of IFN-α that promotes host defense by priming both innate and acquired immune responses. Although synthetic Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands, pathogenic bacteria and viruses activate pDC, there is limited investigation of non-pathogenic microbiota that are in wide industrial dietary use, such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB). In this study, we screened for LAB strains, which induce pDC activation and IFN-α production using murine bone marrow (BM)-derived Flt-3L induced dendritic cell culture. Microbial strains with such activity on pDC were absent in a diversity of bacillary strains, but were observed in certain spherical species (Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Streptococcus and Pediococcus), which was correlated with their capacity for uptake by pDC. Detailed study of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis JCM5805 and JCM20101 revealed that the major type I and type III interferons were induced (IFN-α, -β, and λ). IFN-α induction was TLR9 and MyD88-dependent; a slight impairment was also observed in TLR4(-/-) cells. While these responses occurred with purified pDC, IFN-α production was synergistic upon co-culture with myeloid dendritic cells (mDC), an interaction that required direct mDC-pDC contact. L. lactis strains also stimulated expression of immunoregulatory receptors on pDC (ICOS-L and PD-L1), and accordingly augmented pDC induction of CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) Treg compared to the Lactobacillus strain. Oral administration of L. lactis JCM5805 induced significant activation of pDC resident in the intestinal draining mesenteric lymph nodes, but not in a remote lymphoid site (spleen). Taken together, certain non-pathogenic spherical LAB in wide dietary use has potent and diverse immunomodulatory effects on pDC potentially relevant to anti-viral immunity and chronic inflammatory disease. 相似文献

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) is an immunomodulatory agent inducing dendritic cells (DCs) to become tolerogenic. To further understand its mechanisms of action, we have examined the effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on tolerogenic properties of blood myeloid (M-DCs) and plasmacytoid (P-DCs) human DC subsets. Exposure of M-DCs to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) up-regulated production of CCL22, a chemokine attracting regulatory T cells, whereas production of CCL17, the other CCR4 ligand, was reduced. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) also decreased IL-12p75 production by M-DCs, as expected, and inhibited CCR7 expression. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) treatment markedly increased CD4(+) suppressor T cell activity while decreasing the capacity of M-DCs to induce Th1 cell development. Surprisingly, 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) did not exert any discernible effect on tolerogenic properties of P-DCs, and even their high production of IFN-alpha was not modulated. In particular, the intrinsically high capacity of P-DCs to induce CD4(+) suppressor T cells was unaffected by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). Both DC subsets expressed similar levels of the vitamin D receptor, and its ligation by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) similarly activated the primary response gene cyp24. Interestingly, 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) inhibited NF-kappaB p65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation in M-DCs but not P-DCs, suggesting a mechanism for the inability of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) to modulate tolerogenic properties in P-DCs. 相似文献

Islet Ag-specific CD4(+) T cells receive antigenic stimulation from MHC class II-expressing APCs. Herein, we delineate the direct in vivo necessity for distinct subsets of macrophages and dendritic cells (DC) in type 1 diabetes mellitus of the NOD mouse by using diphtheria toxin-mediated cell ablation. The ablation of macrophages had no impact on islet Ag presentation or on the induction of insulitis or diabetes in either transfer or spontaneous models. However, the ablation of CD11b(+)CD11c(+) DC led to the loss of T cell activation, insulitis, and diabetes mediated by CD4(+) T cells. When the specific myeloid DC subset was "added-back" to mice lacking total DC, insulitis and diabetes were restored. Interestingly, when NOD mice were allowed to progress to the insulitis phase, the ablation of DC led to accelerated insulitis. This accelerated insulitis was mediated by the loss of plasmacytoid DC (pDC). When pDC were returned to depleted mice, the localized regulation of insulitis was restored. The loss of pDC in the pancreas itself was accompanied by the localized loss of IDO and the acceleration of insulitis. Thus, CD11c(+)CD11b(+) DC and pDC have countervailing actions in NOD diabetes, with myeloid DC providing critical antigenic stimulation to naive CD4(+) T cells and pDC providing regulatory control of CD4(+) T cell function in the target tissue. 相似文献

We have previously shown that very few rotavirus (RV)-specific T cells that secrete gamma interferon circulate in recently infected and seropositive adults and children. Here, we have studied the interaction of RV with myeloid immature (IDC) and mature dendritic cells (MDC) in vitro. RV did not induce cell death of IDC or MDC and induced maturation of between 12 and 48% of IDC. Nonetheless, RV did not inhibit the maturation of IDC or change the expression of maturation markers on MDC. After treatment with RV, few IDC expressed the nonstructural viral protein NSP4. In contrast, a discrete productive viral infection was shown in MDC of a subset of volunteers, and between 3 and 46% of these cells expressed NSP4. RV-treated IDC secreted interleukin 6 (IL-6) (but not IL-1beta, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor alpha, or transforming growth factor beta), and MDC released IL-6 and small amounts of IL-10 and IL-12p70. The patterns of cytokines secreted by T cells stimulated by staphylococcal enterotoxin B presented by MDC infected with RV or uninfected were comparable. The frequencies and patterns of cytokines secreted by memory RV-specific T cells evidenced after stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with RV were similar to those evidenced after stimulation of PBMC with RV-infected MDC. Finally, IDC treated with RV strongly stimulated naive allogeneic CD4+ T cells to secrete Th1 cytokines. Thus, although RV does not seem to be a strong maturing stimulus for DC, it promotes their capacity to prime Th1 cells. 相似文献

The reciprocal interaction of NK cells with plasmacytoid or myeloid dendritic cells profoundly affects innate resistance functions 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25

A reciprocal activating interaction between NK cells and dendritic cells (DC) has been suggested to play a role in the functional regulation of these cells in immunity, but it has been studied only using in vitro generated bone marrow- or monocyte-derived DC. We report that human peripheral blood plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and myeloid DC are necessary to induce NK cell function depending on the type of microbial stimulus. pDC and myeloid DC are required for strongly increased NK cytolytic activity and CD69 expression, in response to inactivated influenza virus or CpG-containing oligonucleotides and poly(I:C), respectively. Secreted type I IFN is required and sufficient for the augmentation of NK cell cytolytic activity in the coculture with pDC or myeloid DC, whereas CD69 expression is dependent on both type I IFN and TNF. In addition, in response to poly(I:C), myeloid DC induce NK cells to produce IFN-gamma through a mechanism dependent on both IL-12 secretion and cell contact between NK cells and myeloid DC, but independent of type I IFN. IL-2-activated NK cells have little to no cytolytic activity for immature myeloid DC and pDC, but are able to induce maturation of these cells. Moreover, IL-2-activated NK cells induce, in the presence of a suboptimal concentration of CpG-containing oligonucleotides, a strong IFN-alpha and TNF production. These data suggest that the reciprocal functional interaction between NK cells and either pDC or myeloid DC may play an important physiological role in the regulation of both innate resistance and adaptive immunity to infections. 相似文献

We have previously described enrichment of antigen-presenting HLA-DR+ nuclear RelB+ dendritic cells (DCs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium. CD123+HLA-DR+ plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and their precursors have been identified in human peripheral blood (PB), lymphoid tissue, and some
inflamed tissues. We hypothesized recruitment of pDCs into the inflamed RA synovial environment and their contribution as
antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and inflammatory cells in RA. CD11c+ myeloid DCs and CD123+ pDCs were compared in normal and RA PB, synovial fluid (SF), and synovial tissue by flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry,
and electron microscopy and were sorted for functional studies. Nuclear RelB-CD123+ DCs were located in perivascular regions of RA, in a similar frequency to nuclear RelB+CD123- DCs, but not normal synovial tissue sublining. Apart from higher expression of HLA-DR, the numbers and phenotypes of SF pDCs
were similar to those of normal PB pDCs. While the APC function of PB pDCs was less efficient than that of PB myeloid DCs,
RA SF pDCs efficiently activated resting allogeneic PB T cells, and high levels of IFN-γ, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor
α were produced in response to incubation of allogeneic T cells with either type of SF DCs. Thus, pDCs are recruited to RA
synovial tissue and comprise an APC population distinct from the previously described nuclear RelB+ synovial DCs. pDCs may contribute significantly to the local inflammatory environment. 相似文献

Human CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) play an essential role in the prevention of autoimmune diseases. However, the mechanisms of immune suppression and the spectrum of cells they target in vivo remain incompletely defined. In particular, although Treg directly suppress conventional T cells in vitro, they have been shown to inhibit the Ag-presenting functions of macrophage- and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC). We have now studied the maturation of human blood-derived myeloid DC and plasmacytoid DC activated with TLR ligands in the presence of Treg. Preactivated Treg suppressed strongly TLR-triggered myeloid DC maturation, as judged by the blocking of costimulatory molecule up-regulation and the inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines secretion that resulted in poor Ag presentation capacity. Although IL-10 played a prominent role in inhibiting cytokines secretion, suppression of phenotypic maturation required cell-cell contact and was independent of TGF-beta and CTLA-4. In contrast, the acquisition of maturation markers and production of cytokines by plasmacytoid DC triggered with TLR ligands were insensitive to regulatory T cells. Therefore, human Treg may enlist myeloid, but not plasmacytoid DC for the initiation and the amplification of tolerance in vivo by restraining their maturation after TLR stimulation. 相似文献

NIPCs have had a long history of study, with the first observations of peripheral blood cells with IFN-producing capacity being made approximately 20 years ago. Over the past three years with the identification of NIPCs as plasmacytoid dendritic cells, an enormous amount has been learned about their function in both innate and adaptive immunity and their dysregulation in certain viral infections such as HIV infection and in autoimmunity. Further studies of their mechanisms of IFN-alpha induction, of their distribution and in vivo function are required. It is anticipated that a further understanding of the PDC will lead to the ability to specifically manipulate these cells in human disease. 相似文献
