DCs progenitors are generated in the bone marrow. They give rise to circulating DCs precursors. Circulating DCs precursors enter nonlymphoid tissues as immature DCs. DC are scattered throughout all non lymphoid tissues where they reside in a resting, (so-called immature) state. In the absence of ongoing inflammatory and immune responses, they constantly migrate at low rate to draining lymph nodes. DCs precursors DCs progenitors Immature DCs In inflammatory conditions, immature DC migrate to draining lymph nodes where after maturation (mature DC), they prime the rare circulating naïve antigen-specific lymphocytes. Mature DCs
There are no lineage-specific surface markers that are expressed on all DC. Moreover, DC are a heterogenous cell population. However, it has been clearly demonstrated that at least 3 distinct types of DC can be generated. Mice: myeloid DC CD11b+CD11c+, myeloid DC CD11b+ CD11c+/-, CD4+, lymphoid DC CD11b- CD8a+ The existence of different subsets of DC has lead to possibility that they can perform unique functions.
Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells • A specialized subpopulation of DC. • Resemble plasma cells in morphology – also express some B cell surface markers (e.g. CD45R [B220]). • In response to some viral infections, pDC synthesize high levels of type I IFNs – cytokines have direct antiviral effects and activate NK cells. • Plasmacytoid DC also are a significant source of IL-12 during the early response – enhance IFN-g production by NK cells, and, subsequently, CD4 and CD8 T cells.

Migration • Maturing DCs migrate into the T cell area of lymphoid organs. Immature Dcs express a variety of chemokine receptors (CCR1, CCR5, CXCR1 and CCR6) that participate in their recruitment to inflammed tissue and/or to allow their residency into non-lymphoid tissue. Exemple: Imm. Dcs express CCR6 the receptor for MIP-3a that is constitutively express in liver and lungs. Upon maturation, there is a downregulation of receptors for chemokines produced at the site of inflammation and upregulation of CCR7. SLC is a ligand for CCR7 and is expressed at high levels by HEVs in LNs and by stromal cells in T cell areas of many secondary lymphoid organs. ELC (other ligand of CCR7) made in T cell areas of lymphoid tissue. SLC (6Ckine) and ELC (MIP-3b) act together to direct DC migration to T cell areas Of lymphoid tissue and to promote encounter with T cells. Adhesion molecules Banchereau J. et al.

Developmental Stages of Dendritic Cells Developmental stages of dendritic cells (DCs) in vivo. The generation of DC precursors in the bone marrow, the recruitment of immature DCs in peripheral tissues, and the migration of DCs into the lymphoid organs are illustrated. The maturation of DCs into potent antigen-presenting cells in case of infection or inflammation and their migration have been amply documented (right), but there is also evidence that in the "steady state“ – that is, in the absence of a "danger signal“ – these immature DCs may migrate into the lymphoid organs while remaining at the immature stage (left). The phenotype of the DC migrating in baseline conditions is still unclear. The movement of maturing DCs and the "constitutive" migration of immature DCs have been shown to depend on chemokine gradients.

Cross-Presentation of Antigen by Dendritic Cells • Cross-presentation is the ability of dendritic cells to deliver exogenous antigens to the class I MHC processing and presentation pathway for the activation of CD8 T cells. • The process is rapid, occurring within 3 to 4 hours after antigen uptake. • The process requires a functional endocytic pathway –also requires a functional TAP complex, proteosome function and normal transport from the ER-Golgi to the cell surface. • The process is inhibited if the phagocytic and macropinocytic activities of the DC are inhibited. • Suggests that the DC degrades exogenous antigen in a lysosomal compartment, and then releases relatively long-length peptides into the cytoplasm, where they are ubiquinated, further cleaved by the proteosome, and then delivered to the ER by TAP.
Peptides derived from phagocytosed antigens can be presented to CD8+ T cells on MHC class I. Phenomenon called CROSS-PRESENTATION Soon after or during formation, phagosomes fuse with the ER. After antigen export to the cytosol and degradation by the proteasome, peptides are translocated by TAP into the lumen of the same phagosomes, before loading on phagosomal MHC class I molecule. Therefore, cross-presentation in dendritic cells occurs in a specialized, self-sufficient, ER-phagosome mix compartment.
