Perivascular clusters of dendritic cells provide critical survival signals to B cells in bone marrow niches

Abstract: Beyond its established function in hematopoiesis, the bone marrow hosts mature lymphocytes and acts as a secondary lymphoid organ in the initiation of T cell and B cell responses. Here we report the characterization of bone marrow-resident dendritic cells (bmDCs). Multiphoton imaging showed that bmDCs were organized into perivascular clusters that enveloped blood vessels and were seeded with mature B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. Conditional ablation of bmDCs in these bone marrow immune niches led to the spec… Show more

“…With our system, we did not observe enrichment of IL-15-expressing cells in proximity to the CD8 + memory T cells, as we found less than 2% of memory T cells in contact with IL-15 + cells. This might be due to the limited sensitivity of the IL-15 antibody stain, resulting in us only detecting cells with the highest IL-15 expression.It has been reported that adoptively transferred leukemic cells as well as DCs and B cells populate perivascular regions in cranial bones of mice [44,45]. In contrast to those studies, we did not observe enrichment of the transferred memory T cells to subregions within the BM, rather they were found randomly scattered throughout the BM.…”

“…The amplified memory T lymphocytes relocate to memory niches and return to proliferative and functional rest. Such immune clusters131, 152 or immune niches153 had been observed before, but their context had remained obscure. It seems that they serve mainly to amplify the antigen‐specific memory T lymphocytes.…”

“…Recent models in which pDCs are selectively eliminated highlight their contributions in some, but not all, settings of infections by pathogens [18;19]. The cDC subsets appear to be primarily concerned with priming adaptive immune responses, particularly those of T cells, although important interactions with other immune cells, such as B cells and NK cells, have also been described [20][21][22].…”
