A CD1a1/CD11c1 Subset of Human Blood Dendritic Cells Is a Direct Precursor of Langerhans Cells1 Tomoki Ito,*† Muneo Inaba,† Kayo Inaba,‡ Junko Toki,† Shinji Sogo,§ Tomoko Iguchi,*† Yasushi Adachi,† Kazuyuki Yamaguchi,* Ryuichi Amakawa,* Jenny Valladeau,¶ Sem Saeland,¶ Shirou Fukuhara,* and Susumu Ikehara2* Based on the relative expression of CD11c and CD1a, we have identified three fractions of dendritic cells (DCs) in human peripheral blood, including a direct precursor of Langerhans cells (LCs). The first two fractions were CD11c1 DCs, comprised of a major CD1a1/CD11c1 population (fraction 1), and a minor CD1a2/CD11c1 component (fraction 2). Both CD11c1 fractions displayed a monocyte-like morphology, endocytosed FITC-dextran, expressed CD45RO and myeloid markers such as CD13 and CD33, and possessed the receptor for GM-CSF. The third fraction was comprised of CD1a2/CD11c2 DCs (fraction 3) and resembled plasmacytoid T cells. These did not uptake FITC-dextran, were negative for myeloid markers (CD13/CD33), Downloaded from and expressed CD45RA and a high level of IL-3Ra, but not GM-CSF receptors. After culture with IL-3, fraction 3 acquired the characteristics of mature DCs; however, the expression of CD62L (lymph node-homing molecules) remained unchanged, indi- cating that fraction 3 can be a precursor pool for previously described plasmacytoid T cells in lymphoid organs. Strikingly, the CD1a1/CD11c1 DCs (fraction 1) quickly acquired LC characteristics when cultured in the presence of GM-CSF 1 IL-4 1 TGF-b1. Thus, E-cadherin, Langerin, and Lag Ag were expressed within 1 day of culture, and typical Birbeck granules were 2 1 2 2 observed. In contrast, neither CD1a /CD11c (fraction 2) nor CD1a /CD11c (fraction 3) cells had the capacity to differ- http://www.jimmunol.org/ entiate into LCs. Furthermore, CD141 monocytes only expressed E-cadherin, but lacked the other LC markers after culture in these cytokines. Therefore, CD1a1/CD11c1 DCs are the direct precursors of LCs in peripheral blood.
