  • Regulation of Macrophage Development and Function in Peripheral Tissues
    REVIEWS Regulation of macrophage development and function in peripheral tissues Yonit Lavin, Arthur Mortha, Adeeb Rahman and Miriam Merad Abstract | Macrophages are immune cells of haematopoietic origin that provide crucial innate immune defence and have tissue-specific functions in the regulation and maintenance of organ homeostasis. Recent studies of macrophage ontogeny, as well as transcriptional and epigenetic identity, have started to reveal the decisive role of the tissue stroma in the regulation of macrophage function. These findings suggest that most macrophages seed the tissues during embryonic development and functionally specialize in response to cytokines and metabolites that are released by the stroma and drive the expression of unique transcription factors. In this Review, we discuss how recent insights into macrophage ontogeny and macrophage–stroma interactions contribute to our understanding of the crosstalk that shapes macrophage function and the maintenance of organ integrity. Mononuclear phagocyte Macrophages are key components of the innate immune characterized the transcriptional and epigenetic pro- system system that reside in tissues, where they function as grammes of tissue-resident macrophages and revealed (MPS).

  • Patterning Langerhans Cell Proliferation and Rsk Signaling
    The Journal of Immunology The PDK1–Rsk Signaling Pathway Controls Langerhans Cell Proliferation and Patterning Rossana Zaru,*,1 Stephen P. Matthews,* Alexander J. Edgar,* Alan R. Prescott,* Diego Gomez-Nicola,† Andre´ Hanauer,‡ and Colin Watts* Langerhans cells (LC), the dendritic cells of the epidermis, are distributed in a distinctive regularly spaced array. In the mouse, the LC array is established in the first few days of life from proliferating local precursors, but the regulating signaling pathways are not fully understood. We found that mice lacking the kinase phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 selectively lack LC. Deletion of the phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 target kinases, ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (Rsk1) and Rsk2, produced a striking perturbation in the LC network: LC density was reduced 2-fold, but LC size was increased by the same magnitude. Reduced LC numbers in Rsk1/22/2 mice was not due to accelerated emigration from the skin but rather to reduced proliferation at least in adults. Rsk1/2 were required for normal LC patterning in neonates, but not when LC were ablated in adults and replaced by bone marrow– derived cells. Increased LC size was an intrinsic response to reduced LC numbers, reversible on LC emigration, and could be observed in wild type epidermis where LC size also correlated inversely with LC density. Our results identify a key signaling pathway needed to establish a normal LC network and suggest that LC might maintain epidermal surveillance by increasing their “footprint” when their numbers are limited.

Infiltration of mast cells and Langerhans cells in the same lesion has been published before, but, to our knowledge, this is the first time that the occurrence of two mastocytomas and Langerhans cell histiocytosis is reported. It could be hypothesized that both clonal disorders of bone-marrow-derived cells could have a common origin. Keywords: Langerhans cell histiocytosis, mastocytoma, mastocytosis, neonate. Introduction Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a proliferation of immature myeloid dendritic cells, with a broad clinical spectrum from isolated skin lesions to multisystem life-threatening disease. Mastocytomas are a common type of cutaneous mastocytosis, which generally appear in the first year of life and resolve during childhood. Both are clonal disorders of bone-marrow-derived cells, most commonly seen in the pediatric age. The occurrence of two mastocytomas and Langerhans cell histiocytosis has never been described.
