Project description:Characterization of functionally distinct Dendritic Cell (DC) subsets in mice has fueled interest in whether analogous counterparts exist in humans. Transcriptional modules of coordinately expressed genes were utilized for defining shared functions between the species. Comparing modules derived for four human skin DC subsets, and modules derived from the Immunological Genome Project database for all mouse DC subsets, revealed that human Langerhans Cells (LCs) and the mouse XCR1+CD8α+CD103+ DCs shared the Class I-mediated antigen processing and cross-presentation transcriptional modules that, however, were not seen in mouse LCs. Furthermore, human LCs were enriched in a transcriptional signature specific to the blood cross-presenting CD141/BDCA-3+ DCs, the proposed equivalent to mouse CD8α+ DCs. Consistent with our analysis, LCs were highly adept at inducing primary CTL responses. Thus, our study suggests that the function of LCs may not be conserved between mouse and human and supports human LCs as an especially relevant therapeutic target. RNA from sorted populations was purified using TRIzol. RNA was processed, amplified, labeled and hybridized at Washington University Core Facility (GTAC) with Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip. Data were background subtracted and quantile normalized.

Project description:Multiple subsets of FLT3L-dependent dendritic cells (DCs) control T cell tolerance and immunity. In mouse tissues, CD8α-like DCs are identified by CD103 expression. This DC subset efficiently enters lymph nodes and cross-presents antigens, rendering CD103+ DCs promising targets for therapeutic tolerance induction or vaccination. However, only limited numbers of CD103+ DCs can be isolated with current methods. Moreover, bone marrow cultures with FLT3L produce complex mixtures of DC subsets. We developed a novel method for generating large numbers of Batf3-dependent CD103+ DCs. We used microarray analysis to compare in vitro generated CD103+ and CD103- DCs and correlated their expression patterns to published profiles and signatures of DC subsets.

Project description:Mouse splenic dendritic cells are divided into different subsets based on their phynotype. CD8α+ and CD8α- dendritic cells play different roles against pathogens. Cross-presentation is essential for immune defense against viruses, tumors and intracellular bacteria and CD8α+ DCs are more potent in cross-presentation compared to CD8α- DCs. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression to analyze the underlying mechanism in CD8α+ dendritic cells cross-presentation

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in mediating immunity to pathogens, vaccines, tumors and tolerance to self. Significant progress has been made in the study of DC subsets in murine models but the translation of these findings to human DC immunobiology has not been fully realized. Murine splenic CD8+ DC and CD103+ DC possess potent antigen cross-presenting capacity. Although recent evidence points to human blood CD141+ DCs as the functional equivalent of CD8+ DC, the precise identity of the human migratory cross-presenting DC has remained elusive. We performed phenotypic and functional analyses to interrogate the DC compartment of human non-lymphoid tissues and identified three distinct subsets: i) CD141high DCs, ii) CD1c DCs and iii) CD14+ DCs. Only CD141high DCs were capable of cross-presenting soluble antigen. Comparative transcriptome analysis of steady state monocyte and DC subsets between mouse and human confirmed conservation between species, aligning the following subsets together: i) human CD141high DCs with mouse CD8+ and CD103+ DCs, ii) human CD1c+ DCs with mouse CD4+ DCs and iii) human CD14+ DC with mouse monocyte subsets. The lack of positive association between human CD1c+ DCs and mouse non-lymphoid tissue CD11b+ DCs highlights heterogeneity and predicts the existence of a monocyte-like cell within the CD11b+ DCs.

Project description:miRNA profiling of CD34+ derived, in vitro-generated Langerhans cells (LCs) and interstitial-type dendritic cells (intDCs). Epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs) form a network of dendritic cells (DCs) in basal/suprabasal layers of the skin and are characterized by a unique phenotype (CD207+ CD1abright CD324+ CD11b-). Due to their specific location at body surfaces, LCs are constantly exposed to environmental stimuli. Conversely, interstitial-type DCs (intDCs) are located in adjacent tissues and can be discriminated from LCs phenotypically (CD207- CD1adim CD324- CD11b+). These DCs constitute a second line of defense against pathogens that have crossed the epithelial barrier. During development both DC subsets originally arise from myeloid progenitor cells via monocyte-committed intermediates in response to specific microenvironmental signals. Additionally certain pools of DCs can be replenished by tissue resident cells or monocytes in response to specific microenvironmental signals (2, 4, 5). In vitro generated GM-CSF/IL-4-dependent DCs derived either from CD14+ monocytes or via CD14+CD11b+ monocyte intermediates from CD34+ progenitor cells share many characteristics with intDCs in vivo. On the other hand, LCs generated from CD34+ cells under serum-free TGF-beta1-dependent conditions phenotypically resemble epidermal-resident LCs. Since these two DC subsets are of considerable interest for clinical cell therapy studies, an improved understanding of their development and function is of substantial relevance. To identify differentially expressed miRNAs in DC subsets, we performed a miRNA screen. Therefore, we generated LCs or intDCs from human CD34+ cord blood haematopoietic progenitor cells as described. For intDCs, CD34+ cells (1 x 104 to 2 x 104/ml per well) were cultured in 24-well tissue culture plates in serum free CellGro® DC medium (CellGenix, Freiburg, Germany) supplemented with GM-CSF (100 ng/ml), SCF (20 ng/ml), FL (50 ng/ml) and TNFalpha (2.5 ng/ml) for 3-5 days and subsequently with GM-CSF (100 ng/ml) and IL-4 (2.5 ng/ml) for 4-5 days. For LCs, CD34+ cells (1 x 104 to 2 x 104/ml per well) were cultured in 24-well tissue culture plates in serum free CellGro® DC medium (CellGenix, Freiburg, Germany) supplemented with GM-CSF (100 ng/ml), SCF (20 ng/ml), FL (50 ng/ml), TNFalpha (2.5 ng/ml) and TGF-beta1 (0.5 ng/ml). The well-established immunophenotype of LCs (CD1ahi CD11b- CD207+ CD324+) and intDCs (CD1a+ CD11b+ CD207- CD324-) was confirmed by FACS. These two DC subsets were purified and submitted to differential miRNA profiling. Two conditioned experiment LCs vs. intDCs. Biological replicates: 3 LCs, 3 intDCs, independently differentiated, harvested and purified. 3 replicates each were pooled and hybridized on one array. Supplementary files linked below.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are a complex group of cells which play a critical role in vertebrate immunity. Spleen or lymph node resident DCs are subdivided into conventional DC (cDC) subsets (CD11b and CD8alpha in mouse; BDCA1 and BDCA3 in man) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). It is currently unclear if these various DC populations belong to a unique hematopoietic lineage and if the subsets identified in the mouse and human systems are evolutionary homologs. To bring novel insights into these questions, we sought conserved genetic signatures for these DCs through the analysis of a compendium of genome-wide expression profiles of mouse or human leukocytes. We show through clustering analysis that all spleen resident DC subsets form a distinct branch within the leukocyte family tree, and reveal a transcriptomal signature evolutionary conserved in all these DC subsets. Moreover we identify a large gene expression program shared between mouse and human plasmacytoid DCs, and smaller conserved profiles shared between mouse and human cDC subsets. Finally, we use compendium analysis to re-evaluate the classification of interferon-producing killer DCs (IKDCs) and lin-CD16+HLA-DR+ cells, which have both been claimed to be DCs, and show that these cells are more closely linked to NK or myeloid cells, respectively. Our study thus provides a unique resource for future investigation of the evolutionarily conserved molecular pathways governing the ontogeny and functions of leukocyte subsets, especially DCs. Experiment Overall Design: This study includes data from cell sort purified dendritic cells, B cells, NK cells, and CD8 T cells. 2 or 3 independent replicates were made for each cell type. The genearray was performed in an attempt to investigate the relationships between DCs subsets and with other leukocytes, in mouse, in human, and between these 2 species. To this end, public data for mouse CD4 T cells and macrophages, as well as public data for human leukocyte subsets were also used in the analysis. The results have led to the identification of specific transcriptional programs conserved between human and mouse dendritic cell subsets.
