CSF and the production of mononuclear phagocytes Part of the support for DC as a separate cell type from macro- phages has come from efforts to show that different growth fac- tors promote their development. The production of mononu- clear phagocytes from progenitor cells is directed by CSF, including M-CSF (CSF-1), GM-CSF, and Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L).

Such cultures produce DCs resembling spleen plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), http://www.nature.com/natureimmunology CD8+ conventional DCs (cDCs) and CD8– cDCs. Here we isolated two sequential DC-committed precursor cells from such cultures: dividing ‘pro-DCs’, which gave rise to transitional ‘pre-DCs’ en route to differentiating into the three distinct DC subtypes (pDCs, CD8+ cDCs and CD8– cDCs). We also isolated an in vivo equivalent of the DC-committed pro-DC precursor cell, which also gave rise to the three DC subtypes. Clonal analysis of the progeny of individual pro-DC precursors demonstrated that some pro-DC precursors gave rise to all three DC subtypes, some produced cDCs but not pDCs, and some were fully committed to a single DC subtype. Thus, commitment to particular DC subtypes begins mainly at this pro-DC stage. Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells crucial for the innate macrophages12.

  • Hematopoiesis Leading to a Diversity of Dendritic Antigen Presenting Cell Types
    Review Immunology and Cell Biology Hematopoiesis leading to a diversity of dendritic antigen presenting cell types Sawang Petvises1 and Helen C O’Neill1 1Stem Cell and Immunology Lab Research School of Biology The Australian National University Canberra ACT AUSTRALIA _____________________________________________________________________ Correspondence: Professor HC O’Neill, Division of Biomedical Sciences, Research School of Biology, The Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) undergo expansion and differentiation giving rise to all terminally differentiated blood cells throughout life. HSC are found in distinct anatomical sites during development, and in adults, hematopoiesis occurs predominantly on the luminal side of the bone cavity in bone marrow. Millions of newly formed blood cells are generated per second to accommodate the short half-life of hematopoietic cells. In order for this to happen, HSC must sustain their self-renewal capacity as well as their capability to commit and differentiate towards multiple cell lineages. Development of the hematopoietic system is finely regulated as the animal ages, so that it does not become exhausted or misdirected. This review covers aspects of hematopoietic development from the embryonic period through adult life in relation to development of dendritic cells (DC). It also considers a role for HSC in extramedullary sites and their possible role in myelopoiesis with formation of tissue-specific antigen presenting cells (APC). Keywords: hematopoiesis, hematopoietic stem cells, dendritic cells, myelopoiesis 2 EARLY HEMATOPOIESIS The hematopoietic and cardiovascular organ systems are the first to emerge during embryogenesis because the embryo requires a functional heart, vascular system, and blood for survival and growth in the early post-implantation period.

However, they are only beneficial in a limited fraction of patients most probably due to lack of sufficient CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes against tumor antigens in the host. In this regard, dendritic cells are useful tools to induce host immune responses against exogenous antigens. In particular, recently characterized cross-presenting dendritic cells are capable of inducing CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes against exogenous antigens such as tumor antigens and uniquely express the chemokine receptor XCR1. Here we focus on the recent progress in DC-based cancer vaccines and especially the use of the XCR1 and its ligand XCL1 axis for the targeted delivery of cancer vaccines to cross-presenting dendritic cells. Abstract: Cancer immunotherapy aims to treat cancer by enhancing cancer-specific host immune responses. Recently, cancer immunotherapy has been attracting much attention because of the Citation: Matsuo, K.; Yoshie, O.; successful clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD- Kitahata, K.; Kamei, M.; Hara, Y.; L1 pathways.
