Project description:Abstract Two major dendritic cell (DC) subsets have been described in the islets of mice: The immunogenic CD8α-CD11b+ DCs and the tolerogenic CD8α+CD103+ DCs. We have recently reported on reduced numbers of the minor population of tolerogenic CD8α+CD103+ DCs in the pancreas of 5 week old pre-diabetic non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. Aim: To analyze also the larger subset of CD11c+CD8α- DCs isolated from the pancreas of pre-diabetic NOD mice 1) for maturation and tolerance inducing molecules found abnormally expressed on CD8α+CD103+ DCs, and 2) for genome-wide gene expression to further elucidate abnormalities in underlying gene expression networks. Methods: CD11c+CD8α- DCs were isolated from 5 week old C57BL/6 and NOD pancreas. Expression of cell surface markers including CD86, CCR5, CD11b, CD103, Clec9a, CD24 and CD200R3 were measured by FACS. Genome-wide gene expression by microarray was assessed during the steady state and after in vitro LPS stimulation. Results: The steady state pancreatic CD11c+ CD8α- DCs during the pre-diabetic stage showed: 1) A reduced expression of several gene networks important for the prime functions of the cell, such as for cell renewal, immune stimulation and immune tolerance induction, for migration and for the provision of growth factors for beta cell regeneration. This general deficiency state was corroborated by a reduced in vivo proliferation (BrdU incorporation) of the cells and the reduced expression in FACS analysis of CD86, CCR5, CD103, Clec9a, CD24 and CD200R3 on the cells. 2) A hyper reactivity of these cells to LPS correlated with an enhanced pro-inflammatory state characterized by altered expression of a number of classical pro-inflammatory factors and cytokines. Conclusion: The NOD CD11c+CD8α- DCs seem to be Janus-faced depending on the conditions: Deficient in steady state with reduced immune stimulation capabilities also for tolerance induction; over-inflammatory with a molecular profile suggesting a preferential stimulatory capacity for Th1 cells when encountering a Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMP) in the form of LPS. We used microarray gene expression analysis to explain the abnormal expression of several cell surface markers involved in tolerace, migration and maturation in the steady-state and to measure the effect of a PAMP such as LPS
