Liver Dendritic Cells Are Less Immunogenic Than Spleen Dendritic Cells because of Differences in Subtype Composition1

The unique immunological properties of the liver may be due to the function of hepatic dendritic cells (DC). However, liver DC have not been well characterized because of the difficulty in isolating adequate numbers of cells for analysis. Using immunomagnetic bead and flow cytometric cell sorting, we compared freshly isolated murine liver and spleen CD11c+ DC. We found that liver DC are less mature, capture less Ag, and induce less T cell stimulation than spleen DC. Nevertheless, liver DC were able to generate high levels of IL-12 in response to CpG stimulation. We identified four distinct subtypes of liver DC based on the widely used DC subset markers CD8{alpha} and CD11b. Lymphoid (CD8{alpha}+CD11b-) and myeloid (CD8{alpha}-CD11b+) liver DC activated T cells to a similar degree as did their splenic DC counterparts but comprised only 20% of all liver DC. In contrast, the two more prevalent liver DC subsets were only weakly immunostimulatory. Plasmacytoid DC (B220+) accounted for 19% of liver DC, but only 5% of spleen DC. Our findings support the widely held notion that liver DC are generally weak activators of immunity, although they are capable of producing inflammatory cytokines, and certain subtypes potently activate T cells.
