Enhanced epidermal Langerhans cell migration in IL-10 knockout mice.

The migration of epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) to lymph nodes (LN) is critical in the initiation of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses. Studies suggest that contact allergen-induced epidermal proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1 and TNF-alpha, play important roles in promoting LC migration. Contact allergens also induce epidermal anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10. Since IL-...

Contribution of Langerhans cell-derived IL-18 to contact hypersensitivity.

The epidermal Langerhans cells (LC), a member of the dendritic cell family, and the LC-derived cytokine IL-12 play a pivotal role in the initiation of contact hypersensitivity (CHS), a Th1 immune response in the skin. Because IL-18, another LC-derived cytokine, shares functional and biological properties with IL-12, we examined a potential role for IL-18 in CHS initiation. Our studies demonstra...

Langerhans cell maturation and contact hypersensitivity are impaired in aryl hydrocarbon receptor-null mice.

Langerhans cells (LC) are professional APCs of the epidermis. Recently, it was suggested that they are tolerogenic and control adverse immune reactions, including against low molecular mass chemicals. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, is involved in low molecular mass chemical metabolism and cell differentiation. Growing evidence suggests a role for t...

Langerhans cells suppress contact hypersensitivity responses via cognate CD4 interaction and langerhans cell-derived IL-10.

Mice lacking epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) develop exaggerated contact-hypersensitivity (CHS) responses due to the absence of LC during sensitization/initiation. Examination of T cell responses reveals that the absence of LC leads to increased numbers of hapten-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells but does not alter cytokine expression or development of T regulatory cells. CHS responses and Ag-specif...

Antigen-presenting activity of non-Langerhans epidermal cells in contact hypersensitivity reactions.

Despite the critical role of the Langerhans cells in the induction of contact hypersensitivity reactions, non-Langerhans antigen-presenting cells in already sensitized individuals may play a role in the elicitation phase of a contact hypersensitivity reaction. Following epicutaneous challenge with antigens, the number of CD1+DR+ epidermal Langerhans cells increased in a time-dependent way and, ...
