Dendritic Cell Differentiation Signals Induce Anti-Inflammatory Properties in Human Adult Microglia

Abstract: Microglia are resident cells of the CNS that belong to the myeloid cell lineage. In experimental models of neuroinflammation, they have limited capacity to function as APCs when compared with dendritic cells (DCs). Human peripheral blood monocytes have the plasticity to differentiate into mature DCs when exposed to GM-CSF and IL-4 followed by LPS. In this study we addressed the potential of human microglia to acquire phenotypic and functional properties of mature DCs under similar inducing conditions. Treated … Show more

“…Several lines of evidences indicate that pro-inflammatory ability of MDDCs correlates positively with the expression level of CD1a [30], [31], [32]. Our findings document for the first time the property of certain PIs to support generation of CD1a low DCs, which secrete normal levels of TNF-α, and lower amounts of IL-12p70 and IL-15.…”

“…However, numerous other inflammatory factors have been detected in the CNS during neuroinflammation. We therefore assessed a range of cytokines (interferon, interleukins and chemokines) with known importance to CNS inflammation [26-28] to see if they induced similar effect to IL-1β and TNFα. The pro-inflammatory mediator IFNγ did not affect astrocyte adhesion, nor did IL-2, IL-4 or GMCSF, which were used as negative controls (Figure 5a).…”

“…Most DENV receptors are also expressed in microglia under differentiated stimulation conditions 26, 27 . Although our findings demonstrated that DENV infected microglia, the cell receptor(s) required for viral binding and entry during DENV infection is unknown.…”
