TNF Skews Monocyte Differentiation from Macrophages to Dendritic Cells

Abstract: Monocytes represent a large pool of circulating precursors of APCs, both macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). It is thus important to identify the mechanisms by which microenvironment regulates monocyte differentiation. We have previously shown that, upon contact with resting stromal cells such as fibroblasts, monocytes differentiate into macrophages in an IL-6/M-CSF-dependent fashion. Yet, in the inflamed tissue, monocytes need to yield DCs for the adaptive immunity to be induced. Inasmuch as TNF and IL-1 a… Show more

“…C1q, a recognition unit of complement, is mainly considered as a pro-inflammatory mediator, sharing several features with TNF-a and CD40L which are pivotal DC-activating factors [9,11,27,29]. However, we found that C1qDC did not express the chemokine receptor CCR-7, usually up-regulated in mature DC (Fig.…”

“…Although DC developed more dendrites than C1qDC (Fig. 1A), both cell populations exhibited a condensed cytoplasm, typical of DC, and an absence of cells with vacuolated cytoplasm, excluding a differentiation towards macrophages [27].…”

“…However, the abnormal cytokine profile that has been shown for NOD macrophages (38) might make them inhibitory instead of supportive for the growth and maturation of DC in culture. A potential inhibitory cytokine might be IL-6 as it has been shown that IL-6 shifts the differentiation of human monocytes from DC toward macrophages, whereas TNF-␣ favors maturation into DC (39,40); however, in the supernatants collected from day 7 BM cultures, we could not detect appreciable levels of TNF-␣, IL-6, or IL-1␤, and when stimulated with LPS, C57BL and NOD BM-derived cells produced similar levels of these cytokines (data not shown). Therefore, it is less likely that an increased production of inhibitory cytokines in NOD cultures is the decisive factor in the deviated DC generation.…”

“…M-CSF signaling in monocytes (30). We therefore analyze TNF-a in DC differentiating cultures and observe that Wnt proteins also promoted TNF-a secretion, which may redirect DC differentiation (Fig.…”
