Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22158044. [PMID: 34360810 PMCID: PMC8348663 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22158044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2021] [Revised: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are cells derived from the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) of the bone marrow and form a widely distributed cellular system throughout the body. They are the most efficient, potent, and professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) of the immune system, inducing and dispersing a primary immune response by the activation of naïve T-cells, and playing an important role in the induction and maintenance of immune tolerance under homeostatic conditions. Thus, this review has elucidated the general aspects of DCs as well as the current dynamic perspectives and distribution of DCs in humans and in various species of animals that includes mouse, rat, birds, dog, cat, horse, cattle, sheep, pig, and non-human primates. Besides the role that DCs play in immune response, they also play a pathogenic role in many diseases, thus becoming a target in disease prevention and treatment. In addition, its roles in clinical immunology have also been addressed, which include its involvement in transplantation, autoimmune disease, viral infections, cancer, and as a vaccine target. Therefore, based on the current knowledge and understanding of the important roles they play, DCs can be used in the future as a powerful tool for manipulating the immune system.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that host dendritic cells (DC) initiate and regulate graft-versus-host and graft-versus-tumor reactions after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Even though decades of experimentation in the preclinical canine HCT model have substantially improved our understanding of the biology and safety of HCT in human patients, the in vivo phenotype of potent antigen-presenting cells in dogs is poorly defined. Therefore, peripheral blood leukocytes were obtained from dogs treated with recombinant human Flt3-ligand and phenotypically distinct cell populations, including putative DC, were purified by 4-color flow-cytometry and tested for their stimulatory potential in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC). Cells characterized by surface expression of CD11c and HLA-DR, and absence of expression of CD14 and DM5, a marker of mature granulocytes, were found to be highly potent stimulators in allogeneic MLC. In contrast, all other immunophenotypically different cell populations tested had either weak or absent allostimulatory potential. Transmission electron microscopy of CD11c+/HLA-DR+/CD14-/DM5- cells revealed the morphology similar to that described for DC in humans and ex vivo-generated canine DC, including long cytoplasmic extensions, discrete lysosomes, and an abundant Golgi apparatus and endoplasmatic reticulum. In summary, CD11c+/HLA-DR+/CD14-/DM5- cells obtained from canine peripheral blood have functional and morphologic characteristics similar to those of human myeloid DC.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs), which differentiate in vitro from peripheral blood monocytes (PBMOs) or bone marrow precursors, are a promising candidate for immunotherapy against cancer. The dog, which suffers common types of cancers along with humans, make an ideal large animal model for cancer studies. Monocyte-derived DCs in the dog have not been well characterized, however, since the appropriate condition for in vitro differentiation has not been established. To tackle this problem, we have developed a conditioned media by culturing T cells with immobilized anti-canine CD3 antibody, and sought to induce differentiation of DCs from PBMOs. When purified CD14+ PBMOs were cultured in the presence of 25% T cell conditioned medium (TCCM), the PBMOs increased size and had extended dendritic processes by day 12 of the culture. The cultured PBMOs were found to increase the expression of MHC class II and CD1a molecules, and significantly increased stimulatory activity for allogeneic T cells in the mixed leukocyte reaction. Moreover, the cells significantly increased their expression of IL-18 and IFN-gamma when stimulated with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (Poly (I:C)). The cells have a reduced phagocytic activity, which is a common defect in mature DCs. It follows from these results that TCCM does induce the differentiation of DCs from PBMOs.

Abstract
In this study, canine monocyte-derived dendritic cells (cMo-DC) were produced in presence of canine GM-CSF (cGM-CSF) and canine IL-4 (cIL-4), and they were characterized by their dendritic morphology, MLR functionality and phenotype. We noticed that cMo-DC were labelled with three anti-human CD86 (FUN-1, BU63 and IT2.2 clones), whereas resting and activated lymphocytes or monocytes were not stained. CD86 expression was induced by cIL-4 and was up-regulated during the differentiation of the cMo-DC, with a maximum at day 7. Furthermore, cMo-DC were very potent even in low numbers as stimulator cells in allogeneic MLR, and BU63 mAb was able to completely block the cMo-DC-induced proliferation in MLR. We also observed that cMo-DC highly expressed MHC Class II and CD32, but we failed to determine their maturation state since the lack of commercially available canine markers. Moreover, cMo-DC contained cytoplasmic periodic microstructures, potentially new ultrastructural markers of canine DC recently described. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that the CD86 costimulatory marker is now usable for a better characterization of in vitro canine DC.

Abstract
The comprehension of the immune system and the role of DC in the pathological diseases may contribute to their use in veterinary medicine in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Currently, most dendritic cell (DC) research occurs in the human and murine model systems on the generation of cells from the bone marrow or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) cultured in vitro. Despite the lack of available immunological reagents such as antibodies and cytokines, analogous cells have been generated and identified in many different species and reviewed in this study.

Abstract
For physiological and practical reasons the dog is a large animal model used increasingly to study the pathogenesis of human diseases and new therapeutic approaches, in particular for immune disorders. However, some immunological resources are lacking in this model, especially concerning dendritic cells. The aim of our study was to develop an efficient method to generate dendritic cells (DC) in vitro from dog peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and to characterize their functional, structural and ultrastructural properties. PBMC were cultured in vitro with IL-4 and GM-CSF. After 1 week of culture, a great proportion of non-adherent cells displayed typical cytoplasmic processes, as evidenced both by optical and electron microscopy. Cytometric analysis revealed the presence of 41.7+/-24.6% CD14+ cells expressing both CD11c and MHC class II molecules. Allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reactions confirmed the ability of these cultures to stimulate the proliferation of allogeneic lymphocytes as already reported as a characteristic of DC in other species. In addition, we describe for the first time the presence in canine DC of cytoplasmic periodic microstructures (PMS) that could represent ultrastructural markers of canine DC. In conclusion, our study provides an easy method to generate DC from PBMC in sufficient numbers for immunological in vitro investigations in dogs, a pre-clinical model for many human diseases.

Abstract
Dendritic cells are specialized antigen-presenting cells with immuno-modulating functions that are attractive for clinical applications for cancer immunotherapy. This study examined immunostimulatory functions of phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated adherent cells (PHA-Ad cells) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in dogs. PHA-Ad cells enhanced interferon-gamma from autologous PBMC in vitro. PHA-Ad cells also stimulated antigen-independent proliferation of peripheral blood lymphocytes. These results suggest that PHA-Ad cells from PBMC possess a stimulatory function to evoke anti-tumour immunity and that they demonstrate potential for therapeutic applications in dogs.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells that are expected to be therapeutic agents for tumor immunotherapy. In this study, we generated DCs of sufficient number for DC-based immunotherapy from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in dogs. PBMC were cultured in the presence of phytohemagglutinin (PHA). On day 6, large adherent cells with dendrite-like projections were seen, and the number of these large cells with projections increased on day 8. These cells were positive for esterase staining. They expressed MHC class II, CD11b, CD8 and weakly CD4 on their surface. They tended to make contact with lymphocytes under culture conditions. We obtained about 2-5 x 10(6) of DCs from 10 ml of peripheral blood. These DCs phagocytosed HEK-293 cells by overnight co-culturing. These cells generated from PBMC are possible canine DCs and are applicable to clinical trials of DC-based whole tumor cell immunotherapy in dogs.

Abstract
Abundant evidence indicates that dendritic cells arise from the bone marrow. In vitro, precursors that differ phenotypically from mature dendritic cells divide several times to form functional dendritic cells. A soluble factor(s) produced in the supernatants of ConA-stimulated spleen cells enhances the production of dendritic cells. This factor(s) has not been fully characterized. Further maturation of dendritic cells occurs after they are released from the bone marrow; species differences exist. Interrelationships between various types of dendritic cells need to be elucidated.

Abstract
The surgical interruption of afferent lymphatics in the hind limb of dog leads to peripheral lymph stasis. The stagnated lymph contains large numbers of immunocompetent cells originating solely from the skin. This experimental model allows a study of the functions of the afferent skin-draining lymph cell population, the recovery and assessment of the lymphokines and other mediators liberated by these cells during the culture, and the production of anti-sera against different types of lymph cells. In the present study, we focused on the functional, morphological and cytochemical evaluation of the non-lymphoid cells, isolated from the whole lymph cell population by means of the gradient centrifugation technique. The non-lymphoid cells were large, with an irregularly-shaped nucleus and numerous cytoplasmic projections, giving them a "veiled" cell (VC) appearance. All VC were strongly positive for DLA-class II antigens and membrane-associated ATP-ase, and 60% of them exhibited the activity of non-specific esterase. In the functional assays, VC displayed the potent accessory-cell activity in the mitogen-induced response of autologous blood- and lymph-derived lymphocytes. In the mixed leukocyte cultures, VC acted as stimulators of the allogeneic and autologous lymphocyte proliferation. The high spontaneous and mitogen-induced responsiveness of the whole lymph cell population was found to be dependent on the presence of VC. The small number of VC (5% of cultured cells) was sufficient to produce the above-mentioned effects. These results indicate that VC is a cell responsible for the antigen presentation in the skin-associated immune reactions in dog, which is relevant to the observations on similar cells from the other species.

Abstract
Previous work has shown that purified rat macrophages lack both accessory activity for T lymphocyte responses to mitogens and stimulatory activity in a mixed leukocyte reaction, in marked contrast to the potent activity of dendritic cells. This study was designed to re-evaluate macrophages as accessory cells by treating various cell preparations with either silica or L-leucine methyl ester, which have been reported to be toxic to macrophages, and then determining the effect of the treated cells on responses to the mitogens, sodium periodate or concanavalin A. These studies indicated that treatment with L-leucine methyl ester failed to kill rat macrophages or dendritic cells, whereas silica was specifically toxic for rat macrophages. The studies therefore focused on silica. Co-culturing mitogen-treated lymph node cells with silica over a wide range of concentrations had no effect on responses. The same results were obtained if mitogen-treated lymphocytes were enriched with lymph node macrophages and dendritic cells and then co-cultured with silica. Preparations containing both macrophages and dendritic cells were incubated with silica for 24 h to ensure the death of virtually all macrophages; upon the addition of mitogen-treated lymphocytes, the macrophage-depleted accessory cells induced vigorous proliferative responses. Peritoneal exudate cells showed variable, but low accessory activity that increased after incubation with silica. Elimination of more than 90% of the macrophages from peritoneal exudate cells, as determined by staining for non-specific esterase, failed to eliminate this accessory activity. Taken together, these findings confirm and extend the conclusion that rat macrophages lack or have exceedingly low accessory activity.

Abstract
The proliferative response of T lymphocytes to Concanavalin A (Con A) and the oxidative mitogens, sodium periodate (NaIO4) and neuraminidase plus galactose oxidase (NGO), requires the participation of dendritic cells (DC). High density cells (HDC) recovered from the fractionation of lymph node cells on a discontinuous gradient of bovine plasma albumin did not respond to NaIO4, but responded well above background levels to NGO or Con A. Addition of DC elevated these responses further. By an indirect panning technique, the HDC were exhaustively depleted of cells expressing Ia surface antigens. Ninety-nine percent of these HDC displayed T cell surface antigens. These Ia- T cells did not respond to any of the three mitogen treatments until DC were added, whereupon the proliferative responses were restored in a concentration-dependent manner, with maximal levels attained at a DC to T cell ratio of 1:200. The addition of a purified preparation of IL2 to untreated or mitogen-treated Ia- T cells increased the proliferative responses slightly and was unable to substitute for the potent activity of dendritic cells. Only the addition of DC was able to stimulate mitogen-induced proliferation to maximal levels. The limiting factor in these responses was the number of dendritic cells, which controlled the induction of both the release of IL2 and responsiveness to IL2 for the oxidative mitogens and Con A. Thus, DC function as potent accessory cells for each of the three mitogens.
