Regulation of T cell cytokine production by dendritic cells generated in vitro from hematopoietic progenitor cells

Abstract

When dendritic cells (DC) present antigens to T cells, reciprocal cellular interactions occur that lead to cytokine production. This cytokine response is regulated by specific properties of DC, notably their maturation/activation status and perhaps their origin. The latter possibility prompted us to determine if DC produced along distinct developmental pathways induced distinct T cell responses. Hematopoietic progenitor cells with the potential to differentiate into multiple lineages of cells were induced to differentiate into DC along two pathways. One leads to the formation of lymphoid-related DC but not of monocyte-derived DC and is induced by culture of CD34(+) cells with flt-3 ligand (F), c-kit ligand (K), GM-CSF (Gm), IL-1beta ("1"), and IL-7 ("7") (FKGm17). Another pathway with distinct molecular requirements supports in part monocyte-derived DC and is induced by the cytokines F, K, Gm, TNF-alpha (T), and IL-4 ("4") (FKGmT4). DC produced along these two pathways were isolated by flow cytometry and compared. They differed only slightly in phenotype and morphology and both induced Th1-type cytokine production in MLR (mixed lymphocyte reactions). However, on a cell-per-cell basis, FKGm17-DC produced more IL-18 or IL-12 and ...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
