isolation and phenotyping of normal mouse liver dendritic cells by an improved method

چکیده
introduction dendritic cells (dcs) are bone marrow-derived cells, which migrate to lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs via blood. liver dcs are believed to play an important role in the regulation of hepatic allograft acceptance. however, because of inherent difficulties in isolating adequate numbers of dcs from liver, limited information is available on the phenotype and functions of liver dcs. to address this issue, we isolated dcs from normal c57bl/6 mouse liver using a modified procedure and described their immunophenotypic characteristics. materials and methods non-parenchymal cells (npcs) were obtained by collagenase digestion of perfused liver fragments and density gradient centrifugation (14.5% nycodenz column). after overnight (18 hr) incubation of the npcs, enrichment for transiently adherent, low- density cells on 13% nycodenz gradients permitted the recovery of low numbers of cells (approximately 1.2-1.5 x 105 per liver), many of which displayed distinct dcs morphology (abundant cytoplasm with prominent projections and irregularly shaped nuclei). results flowcytometric analysis revealed that most of these cells were recognized by anti-cd11c (60-70%). the results obtained from double staining with pe and fitc conjugated monoclonal antibodies indicated that these cells were cd11c+/mhc-ii+ (53%), cd11c+/cd86+ (53.5%), cd11c+/ cd8a+ (36%) and cd11c+/cd11b+ (45%). conclusion these findings indicate that the purity of dcs isolated by nycodenz gradient is higher than other reported methods. considering the similar ratio of lymphoid (cd11c+/cd8a+) and myeloid (cd11c+/cd11b+) dcs in the liver, and the known role of lymphoid dcs in tolerance induction, it seems that this subpopulation of dcs is not the main reason of liver tolerogenecity. therefore, other factors such as the immaturity of liver dcs or the effect of liver microenvironment on these cells, etc. may explain the acceptance of hepatic allograft.

متن کاملIsolation, phenotype, and allostimulatory activity of mouse liver dendritic cells.
Donor liver-derived dendritic cells (DC) have recently been identified within various lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues of organ allograft recipients, including nonimmunosuppressed mice transplanted with and permanently accepting major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-disparate hepatic allografts. These findings have raised questions about the basis of the tolerogenicity of the liver--and, in pa...

Isolation of mouse lung dendritic cells.
Lung dendritic cells (DC) play a fundamental role in sensing invading pathogens (1,2) as well as in the control of tolerogenic responses (3) in the respiratory tract. At least three main subsets of lung dendritic cells have been described in mice: conventional DC (cDC) (4), plasmacytoid DC (pDC) (5) and the IFN-producing killer DC (IKDC) (6,7). The cDC subset is the most prominent DC subset in ...
متن کاملIsolation of mouse spleen dendritic cells.
It is now over 20 years since dendritic cells (DC) were first identified in and isolated from the spleens of mice (1,2) and they continue to be a much-studied population. Only a small proportion of spleen cells are DC, but the large size of the organ means that useful numbers of DC can still be purified. In recent years the ability to grow cells with the phenotypic and functional properties of ...
