abstract = {Epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs) and dermal dendritic cells (dDCs) capture cutaneous antigens and present them to T-cells in lymph nodes (LNs). The function of LCs and Langerin+ dDCs was extensively studied in the mouse, but their anatomical repartition is unknown. Here, we found LCs in back skin, footpads and tail skin of C57BL/6, BALB/c, 129/Sv and CBA/J mice. Langerin+ dDCs were readily observed in back skin of all strains, but only in footpads and tail of BALB/c and CBA/J mice. Similarly, while LCs were equally present in all LNs and strains, Langerin+ dDCs were found in popliteal LNs (draining footpads) only in BALB/c and CBA/J mice. The sciatic LNs, which we identified as the major tail-draining lymphoid organ, were devoid of Langerin+ dDCs in all strains. Thus, functionally different DCs reside in different skin areas, with variations among mouse strains, implying a potential impact on the cutaneous immune reaction.},

abstract = {Humoral responses are central to the development of chronic autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Indeed, autoantibody deposition is responsible for tissue damage, the kidneys being one of the main target organs. As the source of pathogenic antibodies, plasma cells are therefore critical players in this harmful scenario, both at systemic and local levels. The aim of the present study was to analyze plasma cells in NZB/W lupus mice and to get a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying their involvement in the renal inflammation process. Using various techniques (i.e. flow cytometry, quantitative PCR, ELISpot), we identified and extensively characterized three plasma cell intermediates, according to their B220/CD138/MHCII expression levels. Each of these cell subsets displays specific proliferation and antibody secretion capacities. Moreover, we evidenced that the inflammation-related CXCR3 chemokine receptor is uniquely expressed by CD138(high)MHCII(+) plasma cells, which encompass both short- and long-lived cells and mostly produce IgG (auto)antibodies. Expression of CXCR3 allows efficient chemotactic responsiveness of these cells to cognate chemokines, which production is up-regulated in the kidneys of diseased NZB/W mice. Finally, using fluorescence and electron microscopy, we demonstrated the presence of CD138(+)CXCR3(+)IgG(+) cells in inflammatory areas in the kidneys, where they are very likely involved in the injury process. Thus, early differentiated CD138(high)MHCII(+) rather than terminally differentiated CD138(high)MHCII(low) plasma cells may be involved in the renal inflammatory injury in lupus, due to CXCR3 expression and IgG secretion.},
