abstract = {Invasive cell-counting in lymph node (LN) is the current reference to assess LN changes due to inflammation, immunodeficiency and cancer in murine models. This work evaluates whether ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) can measure LN size alterations noninvasively for a large range of sizes (0.1 mm3 to 22 mm3). Correlation was assessed (rho = 0.91, p textless 0.0001) between invasive cell count and LN volume estimated with UBM (24, 2 to 28-week-old, C57BL/6 mice; 13 same-strain, transgenic mice presenting LN hyperplasia). UBM LN modification screening was applied in a skin-graft rejection model and compared with cell-counting (15 mice). UBM LN-size follow-up with fine temporal sampling was demonstrated from 9 d of age (minimum area 0.13 mm2). Reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] textgreater 0.84) and variability of UBM evaluations compared favourably with invasive cell count. UBM provides a noninvasive alternative to cell-counting in mice for early detection and longitudinal screening of LN modifications. This can enable significant reduction in the number of mice and exploration of LNs that would be too small to dissect for cell count},

abstract = {Langerhans cells (LC) are the dendritic APC population of the epidermis, where they reside for long periods and are self-replicating. The molecular signals underlying these characteristics are unknown. The TNF superfamily member receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL, TNFSF11) has been shown to sustain viability of blood dendritic cells in addition to its role in promoting proliferation and differentiation of several cell types, notably osteoclasts. In this study, we have studied expression of the RANKL system in skin and have defined a key role for this molecule in LC homeostasis. In vitro and in vivo, human KC expressed RANKL and epidermal LC expressed cell surface RANK. In vitro, RANKL sustained CD34(+) progenitor-derived LC viability following 72-h cultures in cytokine-free medium (79.5 +/- 1% vs 55.2 +/- 5.7% live cells, respectively; n = 4; p textless 0.05). In vivo, RANKL-deficient mice displayed a marked reduction in epidermal LC density (507.1 +/- 77.2 vs 873.6 +/- 41.6 LC per mm(2); n = 9; p textless 0.05) and their proliferation was impaired without a detectable effect on apoptosis. These data indicate a key role for the RANKL system in the regulation of LC survival within the skin and suggest a regulatory role for KC in the maintenance of epidermal LC homeostasis},
