How quantitative differences in dendritic cell maturation can direct TH1/TH2-cell polarization

چکیده

The polarization of TH1 or TH2 responses by dendritic cells (DCs) requires distinct maturation conditions. Our data indicate that quantitative differences in DC maturation dictate a TH1 or TH2-cell polarization outcome. We discuss how chromatin remodeling at DC loci coding for pro-inflammatory vs. polarizing cytokines may explain differential TH-cell polarization.

 Background & Aims: Dendritic cells are the most potent antigen presenting cells in induction or polarization of T-dependent immune responses. In cancerous patients, suppressive or detoured immune responses regard to tumor cells, prevent appropriate functions of dendritic cells. Nowadays, in vitro production, expansion and maturation of dendritic cells in presence of safe maturation factors whi...

Microbial compounds selectively induce Th1 cell-promoting or Th2 cell-promoting dendritic cells in vitro with diverse th cell-polarizing signals.

Upon microbial infection, specific Th1 or Th2 responses develop depending on the type of microbe. Here, we demonstrate that different microbial compounds polarize the maturation of human myeloid dendritic cells (DCs) into stably committed Th1 cell-promoting (DC1) or Th2 cell-promoting (DC2) effector DCs that polarize Th cells via different mechanisms. Protein extract derived from the helminth S...

Maturation of dendritic cell 2 phenotype by a helminth glycan uses a Toll-like receptor 4-dependent mechanism.

The biology of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) stimulating APCs to differentiate into a Th1-promoting phenotype has been well characterized. Conversely, not a single pathogen product that promotes a Th2 phenotype has been rigorously identified. Strong Th2 responses and dendritic cell 2 maturation are driven by helminth extracts, and carbohydrates have been shown to be responsible...

Prostaglandin E2 induces the final maturation of IL-12-deficient CD1a+CD83+ dendritic cells: the levels of IL-12 are determined during the final dendritic cell maturation and are resistant to further modulation.

Activation of immature dendritic cells (DC) in peripheral tissues induces their migration to lymph nodes and their maturation into CD83+ DC, which are able to prime naive T cells. The inflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and TNF-alpha induce mature DC, which can secrete IL-12 and promote the development of Th0/Th1-biased cells. DC maturation factors with a Th2-promoting function have not been descri...

Polarization of naive T cells into Th1 or Th2 by distinct cytokine-driven murine dendritic cell populations: implications for immunotherapy.

Dendritic cells (DCs) activate T cells and regulate their differentiation into T helper cell type 1 (Th1) and/or Th2 cells. To identify DCs with differing abilities to direct Th1/Th2 cell differentiation, we cultured mouse bone marrow progenitors in granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM), GM + interleukin (IL)-4, or GM + IL-15 and generated three distinct DC populations. The GM +...
