abstract = {OBJECTIVE: The role of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) and type I interferons (IFNs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains a subject of controversy. This study was undertaken to explore the contribution of PDCs and type I IFNs to RA pathogenesis using various animal models of PDC depletion and to monitor the effect of localized PDC recruitment and activation on joint inflammation and bone damage.
METHODS: Mice with K/BxN serum-induced arthritis, collagen-induced arthritis, and human tumor necrosis factor transgene insertion were studied. Symptoms were evaluated by visual scoring, quantification of paw swelling, determination of cytokine levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and histologic analysis. Imiquimod-dependent therapeutic effects were monitored by transcriptome analysis (using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) and flow cytometric analysis of the periarticular tissue.
RESULTS: PDC-deficient mice showed exacerbation of inflammatory and arthritis symptoms after arthritogenic serum transfer. In contrast, enhancing PDC recruitment and activation to arthritic joints by topical application of the Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR-7) agonist imiquimod significantly ameliorated arthritis in various mouse models. Imiquimod induced an IFN signature and led to reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells.
CONCLUSION: The therapeutic effects of imiquimod on joint inflammation and bone destruction are dependent on TLR-7 sensing by PDCs and type I IFN signaling. Our findings indicate that local recruitment and activation of PDCs represents an attractive therapeutic opportunity for RA patients.},

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 = {Incorporation of Ags by dendritic cells (DCs) increases when Ags are targeted to endocytic receptors by mAbs. We have previously demonstrated in the mouse that mAbs against C-type lectins administered intradermally are taken up by epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs), dermal Langerin(neg) DCs, and dermal Langerin(+) DCs in situ. However, the relative contribution of these skin DC subsets to the induction of immune responses after Ag targeting has not been addressed in vivo. We show in this study that murine epidermal LCs and dermal DCs transport intradermally injected mAbs against the lectin receptor DEC-205/CD205 in vivo. Skin DCs targeted in situ with mAbs migrated through lymphatic vessels in steady state and inflammation. In the skin-draining lymph nodes, targeting mAbs were found in resident CD8alpha(+) DCs and in migrating skin DCs. More than 70% of targeted DCs expressed Langerin, including dermal Langerin(+) DCs and LCs. Numbers of targeted skin DCs in the nodes increased 2-3-fold when skin was topically inflamed by the TLR7 agonist imiquimod. Complete removal of the site where OVA-coupled anti-DEC-205 had been injected decreased endogenous cytotoxic responses against OVA peptide-loaded target cells by 40-50%. Surprisingly, selective ablation of all Langerin(+) skin DCs in Langerin-DTR knock-in mice did not affect such responses independently of the adjuvant chosen. Thus, in cutaneous immunization strategies where Ag is targeted to DCs, Langerin(+) skin DCs play a major role in transport of anti-DEC-205 mAb, although Langerin(neg) dermal DCs and CD8alpha(+) DCs are sufficient to subsequent CD8(+) T cell responses},

abstract = {RANK and its ligand RANKL play important roles in the development and regulation of the immune system. We show that mice transgenic for Rank in hair follicles display massive postnatal growth of skin-draining lymph nodes. The proportions of hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic stromal cells and their organization are maintained, with the exception of an increase in B cell follicles. The hematopoietic cells are not activated and respond to immunization by foreign Ag and adjuvant. We demonstrate that soluble RANKL is overproduced from the transgenic hair follicles and that its neutralization normalizes lymph node size, inclusive area, and numbers of B cell follicles. Reticular fibroblastic and vascular stromal cells, important for secondary lymphoid organ formation and organization, express RANK and undergo hyperproliferation, which is abrogated by RANKL neutralization. In addition, they express higher levels of CXCL13 and CCL19 chemokines, as well as MAdCAM-1 and VCAM-1 cell-adhesion molecules. These findings highlight the importance of tissue-derived cues for secondary lymphoid organ homeostasis and identify RANKL as a key molecule for controlling the plasticity of the immune system},

abstract = {Vaccinations in medicine are typically administered into the muscle beneath the skin or into the subcutaneous fat. As a consequence, the vaccine is immunologically processed by antigen-presenting cells of the skin or the muscle. Recent evidence suggests that the clinically seldom used intradermal route is effective and possibly even superior to the conventional subcutaneous or intramuscular route. Several types of professional antigen-presenting cells inhabit the healthy skin. Epidermal Langerhans cells (CD207/langerin(+)), dermal langerin(neg), and dermal langerin(+) dendritic cells (DC) have been described, the latter subset so far only in mouse skin. In human skin langerin(neg) dermal DC can be further classified based on their reciprocal expression of CD1a and CD14. The relative contributions of these subsets to the generation of immunity or tolerance are still unclear. Yet, specializations of these different populations have become apparent. Langerhans cells in human skin appear to be specialized for induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes; human CD14(+) dermal DC can promote antibody production by B cells. It is currently attempted to rationally devise and improve vaccines by harnessing such specific properties of skin DC. This could be achieved by specifically targeting functionally diverse skin DC subsets. We discuss here advances in our knowledge on the immunological properties of skin DC and strategies to significantly improve the outcome of vaccinations by applying this knowledge.},

Monoclonal antibodies directed against DC-SIGN have been generated, but their systemic characterization for interfering with binding of the HIV-1 glycoprotein 120 has often been omitted. Moreover, so far, no anti-DC-SIGN monoclonal antibody has been described that recognizes its antigen after formalin fixation and paraffin embedding. In this study, we have generated new anti-DC-SIGN monoclonal antibodies using HeLa cells stably expressing DC-SIGN as immunogen. We have obtained 11 hybridoma clones producing antibodies that recognized DC-SIGN on monocyte-derived dendritic cells and on dermal-type macrophages. Seven monoclonal antibodies displayed a capacity to interfere with DC-SIGN binding to HIV-1 gp120. One recognized DC-SIGN on formalin-fixed dendritic cells and macrophages. Using this antibody we have obtained specific labelling of DC-SIGN and colocalisation with the dermal macrophage marker CD163 on human skin. The described monoclonal anti-human DC-SIGN antibodies will be of use to the scientific community to address fundamental immunology issues, in particular concerning macrophages and dendritic cells, and help elucidate infection events of pathogen targeting DC-SIGN as recognition receptor},

Using an inducible mouse model, in which LC and other Langerin(+) DC can be depleted by injection of diphtheria toxin, we previously reported impaired transport of topically applied antigen to draining lymph nodes and reduced CHS in the absence of all Langerin(+) skin DC. In this study, we demonstrate that mice with a selective depletion of LC exhibit attenuated CHS only upon sensitization with a low hapten dose but not with a high hapten dose. In contrast, when painting a higher concentration of hapten onto the skin, which leads to increased antigen dissemination into the dermis, CHS is still diminished in mice lacking all Langerin(+) skin DC. Taken together, these data suggest that the magnitude of a CHS reaction depends on the number of skin DC, which have access to the hapten, rather than on the presence or absence of a particular skin DC population. LC and (Langerin(+)) dermal DC thus seem to have a redundant function in regulating CHS.},

These include different dendritic cells (DCs) such as epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs), dermal DCs, and dermal langerin+ DCs. To evaluate access of dermal antigens to skin DCs, we used mAb to two C-type lectin endocytic receptors, DEC-205/CD205 and langerin/CD207. When applied to murine and human skin explant cultures, these mAbs were efficiently taken up by epidermal LCs. In addition, anti-DEC-205 targeted langerin+ CD103+ and langerin- CD103- mouse dermal DCs. Unexpectedly, intradermal injection of either mAb, but not isotype control, resulted in strong and rapid labeling of LCs in situ, implying that large molecules can diffuse through the basement membrane into the epidermis. Epidermal LCs targeted in vivo by ovalbumin-coupled anti-DEC-205 potently presented antigen to CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in vitro. However, to our surprise, LCs targeted through langerin were unable to trigger T-cell proliferation. Thus, epidermal LCs have a major function in uptake of lectin-binding antibodies under standard vaccination conditions.},

abstract = {Langerhans cells, a subset of skin dendritic cells in the epidermis, survey peripheral tissue for invading pathogens. In recent functional studies it was proven that Langerhans cells can present exogenous antigen not merely on major histocompatibility complexes (MHC)-class II molecules to CD4+ T cells, but also on MHC-class I molecules to CD8+ T cells. Immune responses against topically applied antigen could be measured in skin-draining lymph nodes. Skin barrier disruption or co-application of adjuvants was required for maximal induction of T cell responses. Cytotoxic T cells induced by topically applied antigen inhibited tumor growth in vivo, thus underlining the potential of Langerhans cells for immunotherapy. Here we review recent work and report novel observations relating to the potential use of Langerhans cells for immunotherapy. We investigated the potential of epicutaneous immunization strategies in which resident skin dendritic cells are loaded with tumor antigen in situ. This contrasts with current clinical approaches, where dendritic cells generated from progenitors in blood are loaded with tumor antigen ex vivo before injection into cancer patients. In the current study, we applied either fluorescently labeled protein antigen or targeting antibodies against DEC-205/CD205 and langerin/CD207 topically onto barrier-disrupted skin and examined antigen capture and transport by Langerhans cells. Protein antigen could be detected in Langerhans cells in situ, and they were the main skin dendritic cell subset transporting antigen during emigration from skin explants. Potent in vivo proliferative responses of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were measured after epicutaneous immunization with low amounts of protein antigen. Targeting antibodies were mainly transported by langerin+ migratory dendritic cells of which the majority represented migratory Langerhans cells and a smaller subset the new langerin+ dermal dendritic cell population located in the upper dermis. The preferential capture of topically applied antigen by Langerhans cells and their ability to induce potent CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses emphasizes their potential for epicutaneous immunization strategies.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: An important question in dengue pathogenesis is the identity of immune cells involved in the control of dengue virus infection at the site of the mosquito bite. There is evidence that infection of immature myeloid dendritic cells plays a crucial role in dengue pathogenesis and that the interaction of the viral envelope E glycoprotein with CD209/DC-SIGN is a key element for their productive infection. Dermal macrophages express CD209, yet little is known about their role in dengue virus infection.
METHODS AND FINDINGS: Here, we showed that dermal macrophages bound recombinant envelope E glycoprotein fused to green fluorescent protein. Because dermal macrophages stain for IL-10 in situ, we generated dermal-type macrophages from monocytes in the presence of IL-10 to study their infection by dengue virus. The macrophages were able to internalize the virus, but progeny virus production was undetectable in the infected cells. In addition, no IFN-alpha was produced in response to the virus. The inability of dengue virus to grow in the macrophages was attributable to accumulation of internalized virus particles into poorly-acidified phagosomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Aborting infection by viral sequestration in early phagosomes would present a novel means to curb infection of enveloped virus and may constitute a prime defense system to prevent dengue virus spread shortly after the bite of the infected mosquito.},

Here, we describe striking differences in langerin-expressing cells between inbred mouse strains. While langerin+ cells are observed in comparable numbers and with comparable phenotypes in the epidermis, two distinct DC subsets bear langerin in peripheral, skin-draining lymph nodes of BALB/c mice (CD11c(high) CD8alpha(high) and CD11c(low) CD8alpha(low)), whereas only the latter subset is present in C57BL/6 mice. The CD11c(high) subset is detected in mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen of BALB/c mice, but is virtually absent from C57BL/6 mice. Similar differences are observed in other mouse strains. CD11c(low) langerin+ cells represent skin-derived Langerhans cells, as demonstrated by their high expression of DEC-205/CD205, maturation markers, and recruitment to skin-draining lymph nodes upon imiquimod-induced inflammation. It will be of interest to determine the role of lymphoid tissue-resident compared to skin-derived langerin+ DC.},

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 = {Langerhans cells and dermal dendritic cells migrate to the draining lymph nodes through dermal lymphatic vessels. They do so in the steady-state and under inflammatory conditions. Peripheral T cell tolerance or T cell priming, respectively, are the consequences of migration. The nature of dendritic cell-containing vessels was mostly defined by electron microscopy or by their lack of blood endothelial markers. Selective markers for murine lymph endothelium were hitherto rare or not available. Here, we utilised recently developed antibodies against the murine hyaluronan receptor, LYVE-1, to study the lymph vessel network in mouse skin in more detail. In hairless skin from the ears, lymph vessels were spread out in a horizontal plane. They formed anastomoses, and they possessed frequent blind endings that were occasionally open. Lymph vessels were wider than blood vessels, which were identified by their strong CD31 expression. In body wall skin LYVE-1 reactive vessels did not extend laterally but they dived straight down into the deeper dermis. There, they are connected to each other and formed a network similar to ear skin. The number and width of lymph vessels did not grossly change upon inflammatory stimuli such as skin explant culture or tape stripping. There were also no marked changes in caliber in response to the TLR 7/8 ligand Imiquimod. Double-labelling experiments of cultured skin showed that most of the strongly cell surface MHC II-expressing (i.e. activated) dendritic cells were confined to the lymph vessels. Langerin/CD207(+) cells within this population appeared later than dermal dendritic cells, i.e. langerin-negative cells. Comparable results were obtained after stimulating the skin in vivo with the TLR 7/8 ligand Imiquimod or by tape stripping. In untreated skin (i.e. steady state) a few MHC II(+) and Langerin/CD207(+) cells, presumably migrating skin dendritic cells including epidermal Langerhans cells, were consistently observed within the lymph vessels. The novel antibody reagents may serve as important tools to further study the dendritic cell traffic in the skin under physiological conditions as well as in conditions of adoptive dendritic cell transfer in immunotherapy.},

DC precursors themselves also recognize microbial products, and it remains unclear how these stimulated DC precursors modulate the immune response. We show here that M-CSF-conditioned human DC precursors responded to LPS, Mycobacteria bovis, and inflammatory cytokines by a rapid and robust production of IL-10, largely superior to that observed with immature DC or monocytes. The endogenous IL-10 restrained the DC precursors from converting into professional APC, as blocking the IL-10 receptor in the presence of LPS resulted in the formation of efficient T cell stimulators. LPS stimulation concomitant with DC differentiation gave rise to immature DC, which were tolerant to a secondary LPS exposure. Furthermore, the LPS-activated DC precursors reduced bystander DC maturation and anti-CD3/CD28-triggered T cell activation. These data suggest that when exposed to inflammatory or microbial signals, M-CSF-conditioned DC precursors can participate in the modulation of inflammation and immune response by rapid release of IL-10},

abstract = {INTRODUCTION: The spliceosome, which is a particle containing a molecule of U-RNA and proteins that are specific to each U ribonuclear particle (U-snRNP) or common to every U-snRNPs, is one of the numerous nuclear targets recognized by the antibodies (Abs) and CD4+ T cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus mice.
EXEGESIS: We recently characterized a peptide from the spliceosomal protein U1-70K (sequence 131-151), which is recognized by the Abs and CD4+ T cells from lupus mice and patients. This peptide contains a conserved RNP1 motif, which is also present in other spliceosomal proteins targeted by the Abs from individuals with lupus. We further showed that peptide 131-151 containing a phosphoserine at position 140 (peptide P140) possessed tolerogenic properties in lupus mice and was recognized by the Abs and CD4+ T cells from lupus patients.
CONCLUSION: Thanks to its RNP1 motif, the peptide P140 might play an important role in the initiation and perpetuation steps of the humoral and cellular immune response diversification in lupus individuals. Therapeutic and particularly immunomodulating properties of P140 peptide are being evaluated in humans (a phase III clinical trial will be undertaken in the next weeks).},

abstract = {Large B cell lymphomas can comprise numerous CD14+ cells in the tumor stroma, which raises the question of whether monocytes can support B cell survival and proliferation. We show that the coculture of monocytes with B cells from peripheral blood or from diffuse large B cell lymphoma enabled prolonged B cell survival. Under these conditions, diffuse large lymphoma B cells proliferated, and addition of B cell-activating factor of the TNF family (BAFF) and IL-2 enhanced cell division. Monocytes and dendritic cells (DC) had similar antiapoptotic activity on healthy B cells but displayed differences with respect to B cell proliferation. Monocytes and cord blood-derived CD14+ cells promoted B cell proliferation in the presence of an anti-CD40 stimulus, whereas DC supported B cell proliferation when activated through the BCR. DC and CD14+ cells were able to induce plasmocyte differentiation. When B cells were activated via the BCR or CD40, they released the leukocyte attractant CCL5, and this chemokine is one of the main chemokines expressed in diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The data support the notion that large B cell lymphoma recruit monocytes via CCL5 to support B cell survival and proliferation},

abstract = {Gram-positive bacteria entering the dentinal tissue during the carious process are suspected to influence the immune response in human dental pulp. Odontoblasts situated at the pulp/dentin interface are the first cells encountered by these bacteria and therefore could play a crucial role in this response. In the present study, we found that in vitro-differentiated odontoblasts constitutively expressed the pattern recognition receptor TLR1-6 and 9 genes but not TLR7, 8, and 10. Furthermore, lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a wall component of Gram-positive bacteria, triggered the activation of the odontoblasts. LTA up-regulated the expression of its own receptor TLR2, as well as the production of several chemokines. In particular, an increased amount of CCL2 and CXCL10 was detected in supernatants from LTA-stimulated odontoblasts, and those supernatants augmented the migration of immature dendritic cells in vitro compared with controls. Clinical relevance of these observations came from immunohistochemical analysis showing that CCL2 was expressed in vivo by odontoblasts and blood vessels present under active carious lesions but not in healthy dental pulps. In contrast with this inflammatory response, gene expression of major dentin matrix components (type I collagen, dentin sialophosphoprotein) and TGF-beta1 was sharply down-regulated in odontoblasts by LTA. Taken together, these data suggest that odontoblasts activated through TLR2 by Gram-positive bacteria LTA are able to initiate an innate immune response by secreting chemokines that recruit immature dendritic cells while down-regulating their specialized functions of dentin matrix synthesis and mineralization.},
