We have recently shown that avb8 integrin is preferentially expressed by CD103+ DCs and confers their ability to activate TGF-b and generate Tregs. However, how these DCs become specialized for this vital function is unknown. In this study, we show that b8 expression is controlled by a combination of factors Downloaded from that include DC lineage and signals derived from the tissue microenvironment and microbiota. Specifically, our data demonstrate that TGF-b itself, along with retinoic acid and TLR signaling, drives expression of avb8 in DCs. However, these signals only result in high levels of b8 expression in cells of the cDC1 lineage, CD8a+, or CD103+CD11b2 DCs, and this is associated with epigenetic changes in the Itgb8 locus. Together, these data provide a key illustrative example of how microenvironmental factors and cell lineage drive the generation of regulatory avb8-expressing DCs specialized for activation of TGF-b to facilitate Treg generation.
