Aberrant dendritic cell (DC) development and function may
contribute to autoimmune disease susceptibility. To address this
hypothesis at the level of myeloid lineage-derived DC we compared the
development of DC from bone marrow progenitors in vitro and DC
populations in vivo in autoimmune diabetes-prone nonobese diabetic
(NOD) mice, recombinant congenic nonobese diabetes-resistant (NOR)
mice, and unrelated BALB/c and C57BL/6 (BL/6) mice. In
GM-CSF/IL-4-supplemented bone marrow cultures, DC developed in
significantly greater numbers from NOD than from NOR, BALB/c, and BL/6
mice. Likewise, DC developed in greater numbers from sorted
(lineage-IL-7R
-SCA-1-c-kit+)
NOD myeloid progenitors in either GM-CSF/IL-4 or GM-CSF/stem cell
factor (SCF)/TNF-
. [3H]TdR incorporation indicated
that the increased generation of NOD DC was due to higher levels of
myeloid progenitor proliferation. Generation of DC with the
early-acting hematopoietic growth factor, flt3 ligand, revealed that
while the increased DC-generative capacity of myeloid-committed
progenitors was restricted to NOD cells, early lineage-uncommitted
progenitors from both NOD and NOR had increased DC-generative capacity
relative to BALB/c and BL/6. Consistent with these findings, NOD and
NOR mice had increased numbers of DC in blood and thymus and NOD had an
increased proportion of the putative myeloid DC
(CD11c+CD11b+) subset within spleen. These
findings demonstrate that diabetes-prone NOD mice exhibit a myeloid
lineage-specific increase in DC generative capacity relative to
diabetes-resistant recombinant congenic NOR mice. We propose that an
imbalance favoring development of DC from myeloid-committed progenitors
predisposes to autoimmune disease in NOD mice.
