Retinoic acid controls the homeostasis of pre-cDC–derived splenic and intestinal dendritic cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) comprise distinct populations with specialized immune-regulatory functions. However, the environmental factors that determine the differentiation of these subsets remain poorly defined. Here, we report that retinoic acid (RA), a vitamin A derivative, controls the homeostasis of pre-DC (precursor of DC)-derived splenic CD11b(+)CD8α(-)Esam(high) DCs and the developmentally r...
متن کاملGeneration and transcriptional programming of intestinal dendritic cells: Essential role of retinoic acid
The vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid (RA) regulates adaptive immunity in the intestines, with well-characterized effects on IgA responses, Treg induction, and gut trafficking of T- and B-effector cells. It also controls the generation of conventional dendritic cell (cDC) precursors in the bone marrow and regulates cDC subset representation, but its roles in the specialization of intestinal cD...
متن کاملPPARγ controls CD1d expression by turning on retinoic acid synthesis in developing human dendritic cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) expressing CD1d, a molecule responsible for lipid antigen presentation, are capable of enhancing natural killer T (iNKT) cell proliferation. The signals controlling CD1 expression and lipid antigen presentation are poorly defined. We have shown previously that stimulation of the lipid-activated transcription factor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma, i...
متن کاملmorphological and cytochemical characteristics of purified murine splenic dendritic cells
dendritic cells function as the main cellular population responsible for professional antigen presentation and hence for induction of primary immune responses. although they are present in virtually every tissue, nevertheless their number is usually so low that it makes their isolation for studies very difficult. in this study, we purified dendritic cells from mouse spleen by a three-step enric...
متن کاملRetinoic acid controls expression of epidermal transglutaminase at the pre-translational level.
Human epidermal keratinocytes were cultured until sub-confluence in low Ca2+ (0.15 mM) serum-free synthetic MCDB 153 medium. Raising the Ca2+ concentration to 1.15 mM caused an increase in envelope competence as well as plasma membrane associated transglutaminase (TGm) activity. This increase was not observed when the high Ca2+ medium contained retinoic acid. Immunofluorescence studies as well ...
