abstract = {Antibodies play an important role in therapy and investigative biomedical research. The TNF-family member Receptor Activator of NF-kappaB (RANK) is known for its role in bone homeostasis and is increasingly recognized as a central player in immune regulation and epithelial cell activation. However, the study of RANK biology has been hampered by missing or insufficient characterization of high affinity tools that recognize RANK. Here, we present a careful description and comparison of two antibodies, RANK-02 obtained by phage display (Newa, 2014 [1]) and R12-31 generated by immunization (Kamijo, 2006 [2]). We found that both antibodies recognized mouse RANK with high affinity, while RANK-02 and R12-31 recognized human RANK with high and lower affinities, respectively. Using a cell apoptosis assay based on stimulation of a RANK:Fas fusion protein, and a cellular NF-kappaB signaling assay, we showed that R12-31 was agonist for both species. R12-31 interfered little or not at all with the binding of RANKL to RANK, in contrast to RANK-02 that efficiently prevented this interaction. Depending on the assay and species, RANK-02 was either a weak agonist or a partial antagonist of RANK. Both antibodies recognized human Langerhans cells, previously shown to express RANK, while dermal dendritic cells were poorly labeled. In vivo R12-31 agonist activity was demonstrated by its ability to induce the formation of intestinal villous microfold cells in mice. This characterization of two monoclonal antibodies should now allow better evaluation of their application as therapeutic reagents and investigative tools},

abstract = {Microenvironment and activation signals likely imprint heterogeneity in the lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) population. Particularly LECs of secondary lymphoid organs are exposed to different cell types and immune stimuli. However, our understanding of the nature of LEC activation signals and their cell source within the secondary lymphoid organ in the steady state remains incomplete. Here we show that integrin alpha 2b (ITGA2b), known to be carried by platelets, megakaryocytes and hematopoietic progenitors, is expressed by a lymph node subset of LECs, residing in medullary, cortical and subcapsular sinuses. In the subcapsular sinus, the floor but not the ceiling layer expresses the integrin, being excluded from ACKR4+ LECs but overlapping with MAdCAM-1 expression. ITGA2b expression increases in response to immunization, raising the possibility that heterogeneous ITGA2b levels reflect variation in exposure to activation signals. We show that alterations of the level of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), by overexpression, neutralization or deletion from stromal marginal reticular cells, affected the proportion of ITGA2b+ LECs. Lymph node LECs but not peripheral LECs express RANK. In addition, we found that lymphotoxin-β receptor signaling likewise regulated the proportion of ITGA2b+ LECs. These findings demonstrate that stromal reticular cells activate LECs via RANKL and support the action of hematopoietic cell-derived lymphotoxin.},

abstract = {Inhibition of excessive Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling is a therapeutic approach pursued for many inflammatory diseases. We report that Mannoside Glycolipid Conjugates (MGCs) selectively blocked TLR4-mediated activation of human monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). They potently suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and maturation of DCs exposed to LPS, leading to impaired T cell stimulation. MGCs did not interfere with LPS and could act in a delayed manner, hours after LPS stimulation. Their inhibitory action required both the sugar heads and the lipid chain, although the nature of the sugar and the structure of the lipid tail could be modified. They blocked early signaling events at the cell membrane, enhanced internalization of CD14 receptors, and prevented colocalization of CD14 and TLR4, thereby abolishing NF-κB nuclear translocation. When the best lead conjugate was tested in a mouse model of LPS-induced acute lung inflammation, it displayed an anti-inflammatory action by suppressing the recruitment of neutrophils. Thus, MGCs could serve as promising leads for the development of selective TLR4 antagonistic agents for inflammatory diseases.},

abstract = {Receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK), known for controlling bone mass, has been recognized for its role in epithelial cell activation of the mammary gland. Because bone and the epidermo-pilosebaceous unit of the skin share a lifelong renewal activity where similar molecular players operate, and because mammary glands and hair follicles are both skin appendages, we have addressed the function of RANK in the hair follicle and the epidermis. Here, we show that mice deficient in RANK ligand (RANKL) are unable to initiate a new growth phase of the hair cycle and display arrested epidermal homeostasis. However, transgenic mice overexpressing RANK in the hair follicle or administration of recombinant RANKL both activate the hair cycle and epidermal growth. RANK is expressed by the hair follicle germ and bulge stem cells and the epidermal basal cells, cell types implicated in the renewal of the epidermo-pilosebaceous unit. RANK signaling is dispensable for the formation of the stem cell compartment and the inductive hair follicle mesenchyme, and the hair cycle can be rescued by Rankl knockout skin transplantation onto nude mice. RANKL is actively transcribed by the hair follicle at initiation of its growth phase, providing a mechanism for stem cell RANK engagement and hair-cycle entry. Thus, RANK-RANKL regulates hair renewal and epidermal homeostasis and provides a link between these two activities},

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},

abstract = {Immature dendritic cells (DCs) reside in Interstitial tissues (Int-DC) or in the epidermis, where they capture antigen and, thereafter, mature and migrate to draining lymph nodes (LNs), where they present processed antigen to T cells. We have Identified Int-DCs that express both TRANCE (tumor necrosis factor-related activation-induced cytokine) and RANK (receptor activator of NF-kappaB) and have generated these cells from CD34(+) human progenitor cells using macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). These CD34(+)-derived Int-DCs, which are related to macrophages, are long-lived, but addition of soluble RANK leads to significant reduction of cell viability and BcI-2 expression. This suggests that constitutive TRANCE-RANK interaction is responsible for CD34(+)-derived Int-DC longevity. Conversely, CD1a(+) DCs express only RANK and are short-lived. However, they can be rescued from cell death either by recombinant soluble TRANCE or by CD34(+)-derived Int-DCs. CD34(+)-derived Int-DCs mature in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus CD40 ligand (L) and become capable of CCL21/CCL19-mediated chemotaxis and naive T-cell activation. Upon maturation, they lose TRANCE, making them, like CD1a(+) DCs, dependent on exogenous TRANCE for survival. These findings provide evidence that TRANCE and RANK play important roles in the homeostasis of DCs. (C) 2002 by The American Society of Hematology},
