Abstract:
:In view of the critical role of dendritic cells in immune mediated skin diseases, we have investigated the membrane antigen patterns and ultrastructure of cutaneous dendritic cells in eight patients with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus and five with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus. In the lesional epidermis, the expression of HLA-DR antigens by epidermal dendritic cells was reduced, as compared with perilesional, clinically normal skin. In addition, only few CD1a+ dendritic cells (Langerhans' cells), along with some CD11c+ and CD14+ cells (presumable precursors of Langerhans' cells), were found in atrophic areas of lesional epidermis. In contrast, the number of Langerhans' cells in non-atrophic areas of lesional epidermis was similar to that in perilesional skin. On electronmicroscopy, epidermal Langerhans' cells appeared depleted of organelles and dendrites and contained tubuloreticular inclusions. In the lesional dermis, both CD1a+ and CD36+ dendritic cells were found, associated with CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, respectively. Moreover, CD11c+ and CD14+ cells were found around capillaries in the papillary dermis on electronmicroscopy. Indeterminate cells (dendritic cells with features of Langerhans' cell lineage, but apparently without Birbeck granules) and dendritic macrophages were found, associated with lymphocytes and mast cells. No cells with intermediate/transitional features between these two dendritic cell types were found. Conversely, peculiar dendritic cells--with short and blunt dendrites and cytoplasm containing many flat, rough cisternae, moderately well developed Golgi apparatus and no lysosomes--were found in the same location as the CD11c+ and CD14+ cells identified by light microscopy. These findings might be interpreted as follows: 1 the alterations in cytological differentiation and expression of functionally meaningful molecules by epidermal Langerhans' cells in cutaneous lupus erythematosus lesions suggest an impairment of their immunological efficiency; 2 in the lesional dermis of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, a CD4+ T-cell/CD1a+ dendritic cell-based, delayed-type immune response is possibly modulated by a suppressor T-cell circuit in which CD36+ dendritic cells may act as accessory cells; 3 CD11c+ and CD14+ cells with peculiar ultrastructure are possible precursors of both CD1a+ indeterminate cells and CD36+ dermal dendrocytes in the dermis.
