Lymph node stromal cells support the maturation of pre-DCs into cDCs via colony stimulating factor 1

ABSTRACT: Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) arise from committed precursor dendritic cells (pre DCs) in the bone marrow that continuously seed the periphery. Pre-DCs and other upstream progenitors proliferate and mature in response to Fms-related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L), which is considered the most important cytokine for cDC development. However, other cytokines such as stem cell factor (SCF) and colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) were also shown to induce pre-DC maturation into DC-like cells. It is not completely understood which cells contribute to cDC development once pre-DCs arrive in peripheral tissues. Here, we analyzed the impact of lymph node (LN) fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) on the maturation of pre-DCs into cDCs. We could demonstrate that ex vivo isolated LN FSCs co-cultured with pre-DCs induce precursor maturation into DC-like cells, which were capable of efficiently promoting the proliferation of naïve CD4+ T cells. Interestingly, FSCs isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) or peripheral LNs (pLNs) induced DC-like cells with highly comparable transcriptomes, showing similarity to both ex vivo isolated DCs and macrophages based on characteristic signature genes. Finally, by performing supplementation and receptor blocking studies we could demonstrate that CSF1 is a driving factor for LN FSC-mediated pre-DC maturation into DC-like cells. In summary, we could identify CSF1 as a novel stromal cell-derived factor that supports the maturation of pre-DCs into cDCs within secondary lymphoid organs.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) in lymphoid tissue comprise conventional DCs (cDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) that develop from common DC progenitors (CDPs). CDPs are Flt3+c-kitintM-CSFR+ and reside in bone marrow. Here we describe a two-step culture system that recapitulates DC development from c-kithiFlt3-/lo multipotent progenitors (MPPs) into CDPs and further into cDC and pDC subsets. MPPs and CDPs are amplified in vitro with Flt3 ligand, stem cell factor, hyper-IL-6 and insulin- like growth factor-1. The four-factor cocktail readily induces self-renewal of MPPs and their progression into CDPs and has no self-renewal activity on CDPs. The amplified CDPs respond to all known DC poietins and generate all lymphoid tissue DCs in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, in vitro CDPs recapitulate the cell surface marker and gene expression profile of in vivo CDPs and possess a DC-primed transcription profile. Transforming growth factor-Î²1 (TGF-Î²1) impacts on CDPs and directs their differentiation towards cDCs. Genome-wide gene expression profiling of TGF-Î²1-induced genes identified transcription factors, such as interferon regulatory factor-4 (IRF-4) and RelB, that are implicated as instructive factors for cDC subset specification. TGF-Î²1 also induced the transcription factor inhibitor of differentiation/DNA binding 2 (Id2) that suppresses pDC development. Thus, TGF-Î²1 directs CDP differentiation into cDC by inducing both cDC instructive factors and pDC inhibitory factors. 20 samples in total.
