Abstract:
:Dendritic cells (DC) are the most effective cells for antigen presentation in primary immune responses. Human cord blood CD34+ progenitors cultured in the presence of GM-CSF and TNF alpha generate a heterogeneous population of DC including Langerhans-like DC (LLDC) and monocytes. We describe here that IL-4 exerts different effecs in such culture according to the cells considered. Thus, IL-4 favors DC components at the expense of monocytic development, and permits long-time persistence of DC which can be maintained up to one month in culture. These results show an IL-4-dependent inhibition of proliferation and emergence of CD14+ cells. Notably, however, IL-4 also acts on the DC precursors. Thus, IL-4 enhances survival and delays maturation of LLDC from CD1a+ CD14- precursors. In addition, IL-4 also favors orientation of CD14+ CD1a- DC/monocyte precursors towards dermal-type CD1a+ DC. DC recovered from IL-4 treated cultures display reduced allostimulatory capacity, but this function is restored upon IL-4 weaning. Finally, a short (48h) IL-4 pulse is sufficient to favor DC development. The present study demonstrates that IL-4 positively regulates DC development at several levels on distinct precursor cells.
