Circulating CD1c+ myeloid dendritic cells are precursors to Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) lesion CD1a+CD207+cells


ABSTRACT: Expression data from LCH lesion subpopulations and healthy donors' peripheral blood specimens Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a myeloproliferative disorder that is characterized by the inflammatory lesions with pathogenic CD1a+CD207+ dendritic cells (DCs). BRAFV600E and other somatic activating MAPK gene mutations have been identified in differentiating bone marrow and blood myeloid cells, but the origin of the LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs and mechanisms of lesion formation remain incompletely defined. In order to identify candidate LCH CD1a+CD207+DCs’ precursor populations, gene expression profiles of LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs were first compared to established gene signatures from human myeloid cell subpopulations. Interestingly, the CD1c+ myeloid DC (mDC) gene signature was most enriched in the LCH CD1a+CD207+DC’ transcriptome. Additionally, the BRAFV600E allele was not only localized to CD1a+CD207-DCs and CD1a+CD207+DCs, but it was also identified in CD1c+mDCs in LCH lesions. Transcriptomes of CD1a+CD207-DCs were nearly indistinguishable from CD1a+CD207+DCs (both CD207low and CD207high subpopulations). Transcription profiles of LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs and peripheral blood CD1c+mDCs from healthy donors were compared to identify potential LCH DC-specific biomarkers. HLADQB2 expression was significantly increased in LCH lesion CD1a+CD207+DCs compared to circulating CD1c+mDCs from healthy donors, and HLA-DQB2 antigen was identified on LCH lesion CD1a+CD207- and CD1a+CD207+DCs as well as on CD1c+(CD1a+CD207-) mDCs, but not in any other lesion myeloid subpopulations. Interestingly, HLADQB2 expression was specific to peripheral blood of patients with BRAFV600E+ peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and HLA-DQB2+CD1c+blood cells were highly enriched for the BRAFV600E in these patients. These data support a model where blood CD1c+mDCs with activated ERK migrate to lesion sites where they differentiate into pathogenic CD1a+CD207+ DCs.
