The development of both macrophages are constantly repopulated by blood-derived Langerhans cells (LCs) and microglia is highly depen- circulating myeloid precursors. In contrast, epidermal LCs and dent on Csf-1 receptor signaling but independent microglia derive from embryonic precursors that take residence of Csf-1. Here we show that in both mice and in the skin and brain prior to birth and are maintained locally throughout adult life in the steady state (Ginhoux et al., 2010; humans, interleukin-34 (IL-34), an alternative ligand Hoeffel et al., 2012; Merad et al., 2002). Apart from the cytokine for Csf-1 receptor, is produced by keratinocytes in transforming growth factor b (TGF-b), which is essential for the the epidermis and by neurons in the brain.

As for microglia, the factors that and lymphoid tissue macrophages and DCs were govern their development and maintenance remain largely unaffected. We identified IL-34 as a nonredundant unclear. cytokine for the development of LCs during embryo- Csf-1 is a critical growth factor for the generation, differentia- genesis as well as for their homeostasis in the adult tion, and survival of macrophages and monocytes (Dai et al., skin.

In particular, on it for their maintenance in the adult brain. mice deficient in Csf-1r also lack epidermal LCs and microglia (Ginhoux et al., 2006, 2010).

  • Regulation of Microglia Development and Homeostasis
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Regulation of microglia development and homeostasis Greter, Melanie ; Merad, Miriam Abstract: Microglia represent the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) and account for 10% of the adult glial cell population in the normal brain. Although microglial cells are thought to contribute to most pathological conditions including CNS infections, neuroinflammatory lesions, brain tumors, and neurodegenerative diseases, their exact role in CNS development, homeostasis, and disease remains poorly understood. In contrast to most macrophage populations, microglia survive high-dose ionizing radiation and maintain themselves locally and independently of circulating precursors in the steady state. However, controversies remain on the origin of microglia in the brain and whether they could potentially be repopulated by circulating myeloid precursors after brain injury. Microglia-targeted therapies through the use of genetically modified circulating hematopoietic cells proved to be a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of brain diseases. It is thus of great importance to understand the contribution and developmental cues of circulating myeloid cells as potential microglia progenitors to the adult pool of microglia in the steady state and under inflammatory conditions.

    MINI REVIEW published: 26 May 2015 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2015.00249 Microglia versus myeloid cell nomenclature during brain inflammation Melanie Greter*, Iva Lelios and Andrew Lewis Croxford Institute of Experimental Immunology, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland As immune sentinels of the central nervous system (CNS), microglia not only respond rapidly to pathological conditions but also contribute to homeostasis in the healthy brain. In contrast to other populations of the myeloid lineage, adult microglia derive from primitive myeloid precursors that arise in the yolk sac early during embryonic development, after which they self-maintain locally and independently of blood-borne myeloid precursors. Under neuro-inflammatory conditions such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyeli- tis, circulating monocytes invade the CNS parenchyma where they further differentiate into macrophages or inflammatory dendritic cells. Often it is difficult to delineate resident microglia from infiltrating myeloid cells using currently known markers.

  • Monocytes Promote UV‐Induced Epidermal Carcinogenesis
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 Monocytes promote UV‐induced epidermal carcinogenesis Lelios, Iva ; Stifter, Sebastian A ; Cecconi, Virginia ; Petrova, Ekaterina ; Lutz, Mirjam ; Cansever, Dilay ; Utz, Sebastian G ; Becher, Burkhard ; van den Broek, Maries ; Greter, Melanie Abstract: Mononuclear phagocytes consisting of monocytes, macrophages, and DCs play a complex role in tumor development by either promoting or restricting tumor growth. Cutaneous squamous cell carci- noma (cSCC) is the second most common nonmelanoma skin cancer arising from transformed epidermal keratinocytes. While present at high numbers, the role of tumor-infiltrating and resident myeloid cells in the formation of cSCC is largely unknown. Using transgenic mice and depleting antibodies to eliminate specific myeloid cell types in the skin, we investigated the involvement of mononuclear phagocytes in the development of UV-induced cSCC in K14-HPV8-E6 transgenic mice. Although resident Langerhans cells were enriched in the tumor, their contribution to tumor formation was negligible. Equally, der- mal macrophages were dispensable for the development of cSCC. In contrast, mice lacking circulating monocytes were completely resistant to UV-induced cSCC, indicating that monocytes promote tumor de- velopment. Collectively, these results demonstrate a critical role for classical monocytes in the initiation of skin cancer.

  • Antigen Presentation in Autoimmunity and CNS Inflammation: How T Lymphocytes Recognize the Brain
    J Mol Med (2006) 84: 532–543 DOI 10.1007/s00109-006-0065-1 REVIEW Burkhard Becher . Ingo Bechmann . Melanie Greter Antigen presentation in autoimmunity and CNS inflammation: how T lymphocytes recognize the brain Received: 4 November 2005 / Accepted: 2 March 2006 / Published online: 14 June 2006 # Springer-Verlag 2006 Abstract The central nervous system (CNS) is traditionally viewed as an immune privileged site in which overzealous immune cells are prevented from doing irreparable damage. It was believed that immune responses occurring within the CNS could potentially do more damage than the initial pathogenic insult itself. However, virtually every aspect of CNS tissue damage, including degeneration, tumors, infec- tion, and of course autoimmunity, involves a significant cellular inflammatory component. While the blood–brain barrier (BBB) inhibits diffusion of hydrophilic (immune) molecules across brain capillaries, activated lymphocytes readily pass the endothelial layer of postcapillary venules without difficulty.
