Stromal Cell Subsets Directing Neonatal Spleen Regeneration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Development of lymphoid tissue is determined by interactions between stromal lymphoid tissue organiser (LTo) and hematopoietic lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells. A failure for LTo to receive appropriate activating signals during embryogenesis through lymphotoxin engagement leads to a complete cessation of lymph node (LN) and Peyer's patch development, identifying LTo as a key stromal population for lymphoid tissue organogenesis. However, little is known about the equivalent stromal cells that induce spleen development. Here, by dissociating neonatal murine spleen stromal tissue for re-aggregation and transplant into adult mouse recipients, we have identified a MAdCAM-1+CD31+CD201+ spleen stromal organizer cell-type critical for new tissue formation. This finding provides an insight into the regulation of post-natal spleen tissue organogenesis, and could be exploited in the development of spleen regenerative therapies.

Haematopoietic stem cells in spleen have distinct differentiative potential for antigen presenting cells
Dendritic cells (DC) are known to develop from macrophage dendritic progenitors (MDP) in bone marrow (BM), which give rise to conventional (c)DC and monocytes, both dominant antigen presenting cell (APC) subsets in spleen. This laboratory has however defined a distinct dendritic-like cell subset in spleen (L-DC), which can also be derived in long-term cultures of spleen. In line with the restri...
متن کاملFetal Spleen Development, the Ride toward Multiple Functions
The aim of this review is to clarify the different steps of fetal and neonatal spleen development that lead to the formation of a functional adult immune organ. The adult spleen harbors a highly organized architecture directly correlated with its roles in the innate and adaptive immune system. Before achieving these immune functions, the spleen undergoes two important steps: the acquisition of ...

Stromal cells provide the structural foundation of secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs), and regulate leukocyte access and cell migration within the different compartments of spleen and lymph nodes (LNs). Furthermore, several stromal cell subsets have been implied in shaping of T cell responses through direct presentation of antigen. Despite significant gain of knowledge on the biology of different...
متن کاملCharacterisation of Dendritic Cells Arising from Progenitors Endogenous to Murine Spleen
Heterogeneity amongst dendritic cell (DC) subsets leads to a spectrum of immune response capacity against pathogens. Several DC subsets in spleen have been described which differ in terms of phenotype and function. We have previously reported a distinct population of CD11c(lo)CD11b(hi)MHC-II(-)CD8(-) dendritic-like "L-DC" in murine spleen, which can also be generated in splenic stromal longterm...
