abstract = {Cutaneous innervation is increasingly recognized as a major element of skin physiopathology through the neurogenic inflammation driven by neuropeptides that are sensed by endothelial cells and the immune system. To investigate this process in vitro, models of innervated tissue-engineered skin (TES) were developed, yet exclusively with murine sensory neurons extracted from dorsal root ganglions. In order to build a fully human model of innervated TES, we used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) generated from human skin fibroblasts. Nearly 100% of the iPSC differentiated into sensory neurons were shown to express the neuronal markers BRN3A and β3-tubulin after 19 days of maturation. In addition, these cells were also positive to TRPV1 and neurofilament M, and some of them expressed Substance P, TrkA and TRPA1. When stimulated with molecules inducing neuropeptide release, iPSC-derived neurons released Substance P and CGRP, both in conventional monolayer culture and after seeding in a 3D fibroblast-populated collagen sponge model. Schwann cells, the essential partners of neurons for function and axonal migration, were also successfully differentiated from human iPSC as shown by their expression of the markers S100, GFAP, p75 and SOX10. When cultured for one additional month in the TES model, iPSC-derived neurons seeded at the bottom of the sponge formed a network of neurites spanning the whole TES up to the epidermis, but only when combined with mouse or iPSC-derived Schwann cells. This unique model of human innervated TES should be highly useful for the study of cutaneous neuroinflammation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The purpose of this work was to develop in vitro an innovative fully human tissue-engineered skin enabling the investigation of the influence of cutaneous innervation on skin pathophysiology. To reach that aim, neurons were differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from normal human skin fibroblasts. This innervated tissue-engineered skin model will be the first one to show iPSC-derived neurons can be successfully used to build a 3D nerve network in vitro. Since innervation has been recently recognized to play a central role in many human skin diseases, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, this construct promises to be at the forefront to model these diseases while using patient-derived cells.},

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 = {The relative roles of Langerhans cells (LC), dermal dendritic cells (DC), and, in particular, the recently discovered Langerin(+) dermal DC subset in the induction and control of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses remain controversial. 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.},

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.

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.

However, in contrast to dendritic cells (DC) or blood monocytes, these antigen-presenting cells (APC) have not been well studied. We have previously described long-lived CD14(+) cells generated from CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitors, which may represent model cells for interstitial CD14(+) APC. Here, we show that these cells carry DC-SIGN and differentiate into immature DC in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. We have compared the CD14(+) cells and the DC derived from these cells with respect to dengue virus and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Both cell types are permissive to dengue virus infection, but the CD14(+) cells secrete the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 10 and no tumor necrosis factor alpha. Regarding HIV, the CD14(+) cells are permissive to HIV-1, release higher p24 levels than the derived DC, and more efficiently activate HIV Pol-specific CD8(+) memory T cells. The CD14(+) DC precursors infected with either virus retain their DC differentiation potential. The results suggest that interstitial CD14(+) APC may contribute to HIV-1 and dengue virus infection and the shaping of an antiviral immune response.},

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},

abstract = {A high specific activity tritiated ecdysone precursor, 2,22,25-trideoxyecdysone, was used to probe the capacity of various embryonic and larval tissues to perform the last 3 hydroxylation steps in ecdysone biosynthesis. Embryos at early stages of development, prior to the differentiation of their endocrine glands and embryonic heads, thoraces and abdomens of later stages, were found to have the capacity to hydroxylate the precursor to ecdysone. Larval epidermis and fat body are also able to transform 2,22,25-trideoxyecdysone into ecdysone; Malpighian tubules and midgut hydroxylate the precursor at C-2 but are apparently unable to hydroxylate both at C-22 and C-25. Larval prothoracic glands convert the precursor to ecdysone at a very efficient rate, which is 1-2 magnitudes higher than that of the other tissues investigated; several data argue for the existence of a privileged sequence of hydroxylations, C-25, C-22, C-2, in the larval prothoracic glands.},
