Project description:Langerhans dendritic cells represent abundantly occuring and evolutionary highly conserved DCs specifically located in the stratified epithelial tissues. LCs are unique among DC family members in that they express epithelial-type adhesion molecules, allowing them to form a tight three-dimensional network in basal and suprabasal epidermal keratinocyte layers and developmentally dependent on the cytokine TGF-M-NM-21. In the present study, we identified BMP-7 as another key factor inducing LC differnetiation. Here we have performed comparative analysis of highly purified CD207+/CD1a+ in vitro generated Langerhans cells in the presence of BMP-7 and TGF-M-NM-21. We have identified that both BMP-7-LCs and TGF-M-NM-21-LCs are closely related to each other. CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells were isolated from freshly obtained cord blood and cultured in the presence of GM-CSF, SCF, Flt3L, TNFa and either TGF-M-NM-21 or BMP-7 for 7 days to get immature LCs. RNA was isolated from these in vitro genetared LCs.

LCs are unique among DC family members in that they express epithelial-type adhesion molecules, allowing them to form a tight three-dimensional network in basal and suprabasal epidermal keratinocyte layers and developmentally dependent on the cytokine TGF-β1. In the present study, we identified BMP-7 as another key factor inducing LC differnetiation.

Project description:Tissue-resident and infiltrating immune cells are continuously exposed to molecules derived from the local cells that often come in form of secreted factors, such as cytokines. These factors are known to impact the immune cells' biology. However, very little is known about whether the tissue resident immune cells in return also affect the local environment. In this study, with the help of RNA-sequencing, we show for the first time that long-term absence of epidermal resident Langerhans cells led to significant gene expression changes in the local keratinocytes and resident dendritic epidermal T cells. Thus, immune cells might play an active role in maintaining tissue homeostasis, which should be taken in consideration at data interpretation.

Project description:Langerhans cells (LCs) are a unique population of phagocytes programmed within embryonic skin to maintain tissue and immunological homeostasis at the epidermal barrier site. Unique amongst tissue-resident macrophages, LCs play roles in skin innervation and repair, while also functioning as migrating professional antigen presenting cells, a capability classically assigned to dendritic cells (DC). We current lack insight into the molecular pathways that determine this dichotomy, when they are established, and whether precursors recruited to the adult skin niche access the same instructive signals laid down in utero. Tracking differentiation of monocyte-derived (m)LCs after destruction of embryo-derived cells in murine adult skin, revealed intrinsic intra-epidermal heterogeneity and selection of MDP-monocytes to by-pass gene programmes specifying a macrophage fate. Adopting a process unique to adult skin, subsequent extrinsic specification of EpCAM+ precursors via follicular Notch ligands, and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) signalling, combined to determine commitment to resident mLCs. Using a unique human LC dataset, we demonstrated that embryo-derived (e)LCs in newborn human skin retained transcriptional evidence of their macrophage origin, which was superseded by a distinct DC-like immune modules following proliferation in infant skin. Thus, convergent differentiation of monocytes within adult skin exploits novel molecular pathways to replicate conditioning of eLC towards more immunogenic DC-like cells within post-natal skin.

Project description:It is still debated whether the homeostatic function of tissue macrophages is dependent on their origin, and evidence suggests this may depend on the tissue of macrophage residence. Here, we answered this question for Langerhans cells (LCs), an embryonic-derived mononuclear phagocyte that has features of both tissue macrophages and dendritic cells. Using time-course analyses, bone marrow chimeras and fate tracing models, we found that the complete elimination of embryonic-derived LCs at steady state results in their repopulation from circulating monocytes. However, monocyte-derived LCs inefficiently replenished the epidermal niche. Instead, these cells preferentially migrated to skin draining lymph nodes. Mechanistically, we show that the superior migratory capability of monocyte-derived LCs is associated with higher expression of CD207/Langerin, a C-type lectin involved in the capture of skin microbes. Our data shows that ontogeny plays a role in the migratory behavior of epidermal LCs.

Project description:Langerhans-cell histiocytosis (LCH) is characterized by heterogeneous lesions containing CD207+ Langerhans cells (LCs) and lymphocytes. In this study, we isolated CD207+ cells and CD3+ T cells from LCH lesions to determine cell-specific gene expression. Compared to control epidermal CD207+ cells, the LCH CD207+ cells yielded 2113 differentially-expressed genes (FDR<0.01). Surprisingly, expression of many genes previously associated with LCH, including cell-cycle regulators, pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were not significantly different from control LCs in our study. However, several novel genes whose products activate and recruit T cells to sites of inflammation, including SPP1 (osteopontin), were highly over-expressed in LCH CD207+ cells. Furthermore, several genes associated with immature myeloid dendritic cells were over-expressed in LCH CD207+ cells. Compared to the peripheral CD3+ cells from LCH patients, the LCH lesion CD3+ cells yielded only 162 differentially-regulated genes (FDR<0.01), and the expression profile of the LCH lesion CD3+ cells was consistent with an activated regulatory T cell phenotype with increased expression of FOXP3, CTLA4 as well as SPP1. Based on these results, we propose a new model of LCH pathogenesis in which lesions do not arise from epidermal Langerhans cells, but from accumulation of bone-marrow derived immature myeloid dendritic cells that recruit activated lymphocytes.

Project description:In an HPV-induced hyperplastic epithelium mouse model, hyperproliferative Keratinocytes (KCs) showed reduced Interleukin 34 (IL34) expression and chromatin accessibility, associating disturbing cell-cell interaction and immune response genes. Correspondingly, Langerhans cells (LCs) exhibited altered chromatin accessibility, including increased accessibility of IL34's receptor - the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (Csf1r) and reduced accessibility in antigen uptake and presentation genes.

Cell-specific gene expression from LCH biopsy specimens was evaluated by comparing hybridization signal from amplified cDNA on Affymetrix gene chips (U133A Plus 2.0) (Table1). Three sets of comparisons were performed: 1) Thirteen LCH CD207+ samples were compared to 12 control skin LCH CD207+ samples. 2) Seven LCH lesion CD3+ samples were compared to 7 peripheral blood CD3+ samples from the same patients. 3) Twelve LCH lesion CD3+ samples were compared to 4 pooled control tonsil CD3+ samples (5 individual tonsil CD3+ samples/pool).
