Abstract

In this study we investigated the role of blood CD1c(+) myeloid dendritic cells 1 (mDC1), a key mDC subtype, in patients with autoimmune uveitis. We observed a significant increase of blood CD1c(+) mDC1 in uveitis patients. The increased CD1c(+) mDC1 exhibited high HLADR expression and less antigen uptake. CD1c(+) mDC1 were divided into two subpopulations. CD1c(hi) mDC1 subpopulation showed less antigen uptake and higher HLADR expression compared to CD1c(lo) mDC1 subpopulation. Importantly, the CD1c(hi) mDC1 subpopulation was increased in uveitis patients. In vitro, mature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs), characterized by lower levels of antigen uptake, induced more CD4(+)CD62L(-) T helper cell proliferation. The mature phenotype and function of CD1c(+) mDC1 were regulated by TNFα via a p38 MAPK-dependent pathway. These data show that alterations in the systemic immune response are involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune uveitis and invite the therapeutic possibility of attenuating uveitis by manipulating blood CD1c(+) mDC1.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
