expression (4). CD8
+ DCs seem to
derive from an early thymic lymphoid precursor, suggesting a lymphoid
origin, whereas CD8
- DCs appear to be of
myeloid origin (5). The existence of mouse DC subsets
prompted the search for similar subpopulations in humans. Two distinct
DC subsets were originally defined in the human blood based on the
expression of CD11c (6). More recent work has
characterized these two subsets as belonging to the myeloid or lymphoid
lineage and, although different denominations have been used, they can
be defined as myeloid DCs (M-DCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (P-DCs)
(7). M-DCs are characterized by a monocytic morphology,
express myeloid markers like CD13 and CD33, the
2 integrin CD11c, the inhibitory receptor
Tg-like transcript 1 (ILT1) and low levels of the IL-3R
-chain CD123
(8). Conversely, P-DCs have a morphology resembling plasma
cells, are devoid of myeloid markers, and express high levels of CD4,
CD62 ligand (L), and CD123 (9, 10). M-DCs
produce high levels of IL-12 (11), whereas P-DCs produce
high levels of IFN-
(10, 12). Based on their capacity
to induce, under appropriate conditions, predominantly Th1 or
Th2 cells, human M-DCs and P-DCs have also been designated as DC1
and DC2 (11). In vivo studies indicate that P-DCs, in
normal conditions, are preferentially localized in secondary lymphoid
tissues, but their location in inflammatory conditions is still unclear
(8, 10, 13). The proper localization of DCs in secondary lymphoid organs and their recruitment at sites of inflammation in response to chemotactic stimuli are critical for an optimal immune response. In this study, we report that, despite a similar expression and modulation of chemokine receptors, circulating P-DCs, in contrast to M-DCs, fail to migrate in response to inflammatory chemokines, whereas both subsets respond to lymph node-homing chemokines following CD40 ligation. These different migration programs underscore the distinct lineage of these DC subsets and point to their distinct roles in the induction and regulation of the immune response.

PBMC were isolated from buffy coats by Ficoll gradient (Pharmacia Biotech, Uppsala, Sweden) and peripheral blood DCs were purified with a blood DC cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergish Gladblach, Germany) to a purity of 8090%. Purified blood DCs were stained with Lin 1-FITC and HLA-DR PerCP, followed by CD123-PE or CD11c-PE and sorted with a FACSVantage (BD Biosciences, Mountain View, CA). Alternatively, blood M-DCs and P-DCs were magnetically sorted with BDCA-1 and BDCA-4 cell isolation kits (Miltenyi Biotec) (14), respectively, to a purity of 9098% in both cases.
Flow cytometric analysis
Flow cytometric analysis was performed as previously described (15) in the presence of 100 µg/ml mouse IgG using the following mAbs from BD PharMingen (San Diego, CA): anti-lineage mixture 1 (containing mAbs specific for CD3, CD14, CD16, CD19, CD20, and CD56) FITC, anti-HLA-DR Cy/PerCP, anti-CD123-PE, anti-CD11c-PE, anti-CD62L-FITC, anti-CD36-FITC, anti-CD45RA-FITC, anti-CCR4, anti-CCR5-PE, anti-CCR7, anti-CXCR1-PE, anti-CXCR2-PE, and anti-CXCR5-PE. Anti-CCR1-PE, anti-CCR2-PE, anti-CCR6-PE, anti-CXCR3-FITC, and anti-CXCR4-FITC were purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN). The anti-ILT1 mAb, a kind gift from Dr. M. Colonna (Basel Institute of Immunology, Basel, Switzerland), has been described previously (16). The anti-CCR3 mAb was a kind gift from Dr. C. McKay (Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Cambridge, MA). The fMLP receptor was revealed using fMLP-FITC (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR). Cells were analyzed with a FACScan flow cytometer using CellQuest software (BD Biosciences).
Chemotaxis assay
DC subset migration was measured by chemotaxis through a 5-µm
pore polycarbonate filter in 24-well transwell chambers (Corning,
Cambridge, MA). Enriched blood DCs were stained to distinguish
Lin1-HLA-DR+CD11c+
cells (M-DCs) and
Lin1-HLA-DR+CD11c-
cells (P-DCs). Alternatively, sorted DC subsets were used, as specified
in the text. Serial dilutions of chemokines were added to the lower
wells and 105 cells to the transwell insert. The
following chemokines were used: RANTES, stromal-derived factor 1
(SDF-1), eotaxin, macrophage-derived chemokine, I-309,
IFN-inducible T cell
chemoattractant (I-TAC), pulmonary and
activation-regulated chemokine (Dictagene, Geneva, Switzerland),
monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) (BD PharMingen),
macrophage inflammatory protein 3
(MIP-3
), secondary lymphoid
tissue chemokine, thymus-expressed chemokine, IFN-
-inducible protein
of 10 kDa (IP-10), monokine induced by IFN-
(Mig), B lymphocyte
chemokine, and IL-8 (R&D Systems). In addition, the chemotactic stimuli
platelet-activating factor (PAF) and fMLP (Sigma, St. Louis, MO)
were used. After incubation for 90 min at 37°C, the migrated cells
were analyzed with a FACScan flow cytometer using CellQuest software
(BD Biosciences). The number of cells in the starting population and
the migrated population was calculated for each phenotype, and the
percent migration was determined from these values. Each experiment was
performed in triplicate.
Intracellular calcium fluxes
Magnetically sorted M-DCs and P-DCs (106 cells/ml) were loaded with 4 µM fluo-3-acetoxymethyl ester in the presence of 1 µM pluronic F-127 (Molecular Probes) in HBSS containing 5% FCS for 30 min at 37°C. Cells were washed twice, incubated with the indicated chemokine concentrations or with 1 µg/ml ionomycin, and analyzed with a FACScan.

Enriched peripheral blood DCs (Lin-
CD4+) from healthy donors were sorted
based on the expression of CD123. Two discrete populations, both
HLA-DR+, were obtained, expressing high and low
levels of CD123 (Fig. 1
A). The
CD123low cells expressed the ILT1
(16), whereas the CD123high were
ILT1-. Based on the previously described subsets
of blood DCs (10), the
CD123lowILT1+ cells
correspond to M-DCs and the
CD123highILT1- cells to
P-DCs. Additional phenotypic analysis of the sorted populations
demonstrated that M-DCs were CD11c+,
CD62Llow, CD36low, and
CD45RAlow, whereas P-DCs were
CD11c-, CD62Lhigh,
CD36high, and CD45RAhigh
(data not shown), confirming the subset assignment
(10).

In contrast with the overall similar pattern of chemokine receptor
expression, with the exception of CCR7, circulating M-DCs and P-DCs
exhibited a profoundly different migration capacity in response to
chemokines (Fig. 2
). A relatively high
proportion of M-DCs migrated in response to RANTES, renamed CCL5
(17), MCP-1/CCL2, and SDF-1/CXCL12, whereas a lower
proportion migrated in response to eotaxin/CCL11, MIP-3
/CCL20,
IP-10/CXCL10, I-TAC/CXCL11, and Mig/CXCL9. No significant migration was
seen in response to MDC/CC chemokine ligand (CCL)22, thymus and
activation-regulated chemokine/CCL17, EBI 1 ligand chemokine
(ELC)/CCL19, I-309/CCL1, thymus-expressed chemokine/CCL25, B lymphocyte
chemokine/CXCL13, and IL-8/CXCL8. Conversely, P-DCs migrated only in
response to SDF-1, the ligand of CXCR4. SDF-1 has previously been
reported to induce migration of both P-DCs and M-DCs (18).
The migration of P-DCs to SDF-1, although lower than M-DCs, was
substantial (percentage of migrated cells 6.4 ± 1.6 vs 33.2
± 3.6, n = 9). The migration index to SDF-1 was
249 ± 52 for P-DCs and 42 ± 9 for M-DCs, arguing against a
generalized migration defect in P-DCs. Intriguingly, in addition to
CXCR4, P-DCs expressed CCR7 and CXCR3, but did not migrate in response
to any of the ligands of these two receptors, except for a negligible
migration (<2% of input cells) to the highest dose of ELC tested (1
µg/ml). Similarly, the high expression of CCR2 and CCR5 by P-DCs was
not paralleled by migration in response to MCP-1 or RANTES. Thus,
although blood P-DCs can migrate in response to chemokines, as shown by
the chemotactic response to SDF-1, it appears that most of the
chemokine receptors expressed by this DC subset are not functional.
This conclusion is also supported by the fact that a calcium flux was
observed following stimulation of P-DCs with SDF-1 but not IP-10 nor
RANTES, indicating a proximal defect in ligand signaling via CXCR3 and
CCR5, respectively (Fig. 3
).

Modulation of responsiveness to chemokines in mature M-DCs and P-DCs
Signals that induce DC maturation affect also their capacity to
migrate in response to chemotactic signals (19, 20, 21). We
have examined the migration to chemokines and the expression of
chemokine receptors in M-DCs and P-DCs ex vivo and after maturation
induced by CD40 ligation, as shown by CD83 expression (Fig. 4
). Culture of M-DCs and P-DCs with
CD40L-expressing cells abrogated the capacity of freshly isolated M-DCs
to migrate to RANTES and IP-10, while up-regulating the capacity to
migrate in response to ELC and maintaining responsiveness to SDF-1,
despite undetectable CXCR4 expression. As with circulating M-DCs, the
expression of chemokine receptors in cells matured in vitro paralleled
their capacity to migrate in response to chemokines. In contrast, P-DCs
cultured for 2 day in IL-3 and stimulated by CD40 ligation lost the
capacity to respond to SDF-1, the only chemotactic signal tested active
on blood P-DCs, but acquired the capacity to migrate in response
to ELC.
|
In both subsets, the modulation of chemokine receptor expression upon maturation followed the pattern exhibited by monocyte-derived DCs, with down-regulation of CCR5, CXCR3, and CXCR4 and strong up-regulation of CCR7 (19). Thus, the expression of chemokine receptors not functional in blood P-DCs, like CCR5, CCR7, and CXCR3, is modulated similarly to their functional counterparts expressed by M-DCs.
| Discussion |

|
|
|---|
P-DCs are found in lymph nodes where they have migrated from the blood via the high endothelial venules (13), but this does not appear to be mediated by responsiveness to IP-10, Mig, or I-TAC, the ligands of CXCR3. Indeed, blood P-DCs fail to migrate in response to these chemokines, although this was inferred by their expression of CXCR3 (10). Rather P-DCs may reach lymph nodes, independently of inflammatory stimuli (8), using CXCR4, the receptor of SDF-1, a chemokine expressed within the lymph node (22), and CD62L that interacts with L-selectin ligands expressed by high endothelial venules (23). This interaction may provide a maturation signal (24) that couples CCR7 with migration, allowing proper positioning of P-DCs in the T cell areas of secondary lymphoid tissues in response to secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine and ELC. A comparative analysis of migration and chemokine receptor expression in blood and tonsil or lymph node P-DCs is ongoing to further clarify this issue.
The uncoupling of chemokine receptor expression and migration has been
reported in other cell types. Germinal center B lymphocytes express
CXCR4 but do not migrate to SDF-1 (25), and circulating B
cells do not respond to MIP-3
despite the surface expression of CCR6
(26). Furthermore, the expression of nonfunctional IL-8
receptors has been described in human monocytes (27) and
monocyte-derived DCs (28). Finally, uncoupled chemokine
receptors induced by IL-10 in LPS-stimulated monocyte-derived DCs have
been proposed to generate functional decoy receptors that act as
molecular sinks and scavengers for inflammatory chemokines
(29). Although blood P-DCs constitute a sparse population
that may not accumulate at sites where these ligands are active, it is
possible that the membrane expression of nonfunctional chemokine
receptors by P-DCs may influence the trafficking properties of
activated cells and contribute to the regulation of the immune
response.
During maturation of human monocyte-derived DCs, the expression of CCR1, CCR2, CCR5, CCR6, and CXCR1 is down-regulated with increased expression of CCR7 (19, 20, 30). This "switch paradigm" seems to hold also for M-DCs and P-DCs. However, blood P-DCs already express high membrane levels of CCR7, and this expression is further increased during maturation. Intriguingly, maturation allows coupling of CCR7 to cell migration in P-DCs. This is associated with down-regulation of receptors for inflammatory chemokines, indicating that also mature P-DCs fail to respond to inflammatory chemotactic stimuli. In addition to maturation, it is possible that other signals, for example, via Toll receptors (31) or virus infection (32), may allow rapid coupling of migration with chemokine receptor expression. This may endow P-DCs with the capacity to migrate to sites of inflammation, as shown by their dramatic increase in the nasal mucosa during the allergic reaction (33). Migration of M-DCs and P-DCs to SDF-1 is also differently regulated by maturation, being maintained in the former and lost in the latter cell subset. Therefore, M-DCs and P-DCs present a different regulation of their migration profile, both at the immature and mature stage.
In conclusion, the different migration programs of blood M-DCs and P-DCs, and the expression by P-DCs of nonfunctional chemokine receptors point to a primary involvement of M-DCs in inflammation and of P-DCs in the homeostatic control of the immune response. This would be consistent with the capacity of P-DCs not only to induce Th1 (34) but also Th2 (11) and possibly T regulatory (35) cells.
