Dendritic cells (DC) present Ag to naive T cells and are therefore
pivotal in shaping immune responses. DC may either immunize or tolerize
T cells. Humans with pancreatic islet autoimmunity at high risk for
insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) present the opportunity to
investigate DC in autoimmune disease. We compared DC phenotype and
function in 12 euglycemic, asymptomatic IDDM relatives with islet
autoimmunity and controls matched for age, sex, and MHC class II
alleles. DC were generated from adherent peripheral blood cells by
culture with granulocyte/macrophage-CSF and IL-4. The yield of DC was
significantly lower in IDDM relatives than in controls. While the DC
phenotype, HLA-DR+CD14-, was expressed by
90% of the cells generated from relatives and controls, the
proportion of cells that expressed CD1a and the costimulator molecules
CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) was significantly lower in IDDM relatives.
In addition, B7-1 and B7-2 expression per cell was significantly lower
in IDDM relatives. These phenotypic changes were accompanied by reduced
stimulation of autologous CD4 cells by DC from IDDM relatives. Similar
findings were obtained in three recently diagnosed IDDM patients. These
findings indicate that impairment of DC phenotype and function is a
marker of islet autoimmunity and are consistent with a role for
impaired DC function in the pathogenesis of autoimmune
disease.
