CCL18 differentiates dendritic cells in tolerogenic cells able to prime regulatory T cells in healthy subjects.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the nonchemotactic function of CCL18 on human dendritic cells (DCs). In different protocols of DC differentiation, CCL18 was highly produced, suggesting that it may constitute a mandatory mediator of the differentiation process. Differentiation of monocytes from healthy subjects in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and CCL18 l...
متن کاملPharmacological induction of tolerogenic dendritic cells and regulatory T cells.
Immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory agents are able to generate tolerogenic DCs, leading, in some cases, to induction or enhancement of regulatory T cells with suppressive activity. This novel mechanism of action, shared by several immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory agents, is becoming firmly established and contributes to explain their functional properties. The possibility to manipul...
متن کاملHow tolerogenic dendritic cells induce regulatory T cells.
Since their discovery by Steinman and Cohn in 1973, dendritic cells (DCs) have become increasingly recognized for their crucial role as regulators of innate and adaptive immunity. DCs are exquisitely adept at acquiring, processing, and presenting antigens to T cells. They also adjust the context (and hence the outcome) of antigen presentation in response to a plethora of environmental inputs th...
متن کاملRegulatory T Cells in Colorectal Cancer
One of the essential protection mechanisms of immune system is Treg cells which play an important role in maintenance ofimmune homeostasis. However, they may also inhibit immune functions against tumor cells. It has been reported that Treg cellsare increased in patients suffering from different types of cancer. Increased number of Treg cells has been shown in tumor lymphnodes, peripheral blood,...
متن کاملTolerogenic Dendritic Cells for Regulatory T Cell Induction in Man
Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly specialized professional antigen-presenting cells that regulate immune responses, maintaining the balance between tolerance and immunity. Mechanisms via which they can promote central and peripheral tolerance include clonal deletion, the inhibition of memory T cell responses, T cell anergy, and induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs). These properties have led t...
