Skin dendritic cells : activation, maturation and migration

Eaton, Laura January 2012 (has links)
Langerhans’ cells (LC) are the dendritic cells (DC) of the epidermis and, as sentinels of the immune system, act as a bridge between the innate and adaptive immune responses. When LC, and other DC, recognise an antigen or pathogen they mature and are stimulated to migrate to the lymph nodes, where they orchestrate immune responses. Pathogen derived toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands, and chemical allergens, are recognised as being potentially harmful and stimulate LC to mobilise and mature. Cytokine signals, including tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18, all induce LC migration and are required for initiating LC mobilisation in response to certain contact allergens. Subsequently, chemokines promote the migration and localisation of LC within the draining lymph nodes. Chemokines are also involved in shaping the adaptive immune response by promoting differential T cell activation, such as T helper (Th)1 or Th2 responses, which are involved in immunity against different pathogens, and also in the development of different types of chemical allergy. The hypothesis is that LC phenotype (activation, migration and chemokine production), is dependent on the nature of the challenge ligand. The murine LC-like cell line XS106 was used to investigate the response of LC following stimulation with TLR ligands and chemical allergens. In addition, LC migration in response to these stimuli was investigated in vivo and the role of TNF-α was examined using mice deficient in either one of the two TNF-α receptors; TNF-R1 or TNF-R2.XS106 cells and freshly isolated LC were associated with a selective type 2 immune response, as determined by preferential expression of type 2 associated chemokines. Furthermore, XS106 cells responded to type 2, but not to type 1, associated TLR ligands. In contrast, all of the TLR ligands tested induced the migration of LC from the epidermis in vivo. Similarly, chemical allergens failed to induce a maximal response of XS106 cells, but did induce the migration of LC in vivo. There were differences in LC migration between the two mouse strains tested, with C57/BL6 strain mice being less responsive to administration of TNF-α and the contact allergen oxazolone compared with BALB/c strain mice. However, C57/BL6 and BALB/c strain mice responded similarly after exposure to the contact allergen 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). Furthermore, DNCB was able to induce LC migration in mice deficient in TNF-R2, the TNF-α receptor expressed by LC.Collectively, these data suggest a paradigm in which keratinocytes and LC in the epidermis have distinct roles in promoting type 1 and type 2 immune responses, respectively. Therefore, LC may not be activated directly by certain TLR ligands or chemical allergens that are associated with type 1 responses. Consequently the migration of LC in vivo after encounter with these stimuli may be secondary to interaction with keratinocytes, or with other skin resident cells. Together, LC and keratinocytes allow the epidermis to respond to a range of pathogens, in addition to developing the necessary type 1 and type 2 responses. Chemical allergens may have divergent cytokine signalling requirements for the induction of LC migration as, unlike other contact allergens (and other stimuli such as irritant and ultraviolet [UV]B exposure), DNCB may induce LC migration independently of TNF-α.

Le rôle de ST18 dans la cellule pancréatique bêta

Henry, Cindy 18 April 2018 (has links)
Une étude génomique réalisée dans notre laboratoire a identifié le facteur de transcription ST18 comme étant potentiellement un régulateur transcriptionnel important de la cellule pancréatique bêta. Nous avons donc voulu découvrir son rôle, selon l'hypothèse que ST18 pourrait servir de commutateur transcriptionnel liant la masse et la fonction de la cellule bêta à son statut nutritionnel. Nos résultats indiquent tout d'abord qu'au niveau du pancréas, l'expression de ST18 est restreinte au tissu endocrine. De plus, l'expression et l'activité de liaison à l'ADN de ST18 sont augmentées in vitro en présence de traitements délétères, tels que le palmitate et les cytokines. Aussi, notre étude démontre que ST18 induit l'apoptose de la cellule bêta, en plus de réduire la replication cellulaire ainsi que la sécrétion d'insuline. Somme toute, nos résultats identifient et caractérisent ST18 comme un régulateur négatif de la fonction et de la masse de cellules bêta.

Induction d'une différentiation en lymphocytes Th17 par le PAF

Drolet, Anne-Marie January 2009 (has links)
Le PAF (Platelet-Activating Factor) est un médiateur reconnu pour son implication dans plusieurs effets physiologiques et pathologiques, particulièrement les états inflammatoires. À l'instar du PAF, les lymphocytes T Th17 sont aussi reconnus comme exerçant un rôle majeur dans la physiopathologie des maladies auto-immunes. L'objectif de ce projet est de déterminer s'il existe un lien entre ces deux composants. En fait, nous avons émis l'hypothèse que le PAF pourrait provoquer une production de cytokines spécifiques par les cellules présentatrices d'antigène qui elles, interagissant avec les lymphocytes T, pourraient mener ultimement à une différentiation en Th17. En effet, les cellules T ne peuvent interagir directement avec le PAF puisqu'elles n'expriment pas de récepteur pour celui-ci à leur surface. Les cellules T Th17 expriment un facteur de transcription spécifique RORr, nécessitent absolument la sous-unité IL-23p19 pour leur expansion et produisent IL-17. Nous avons donc, dans un premier temps, regardé la capacité d'un type de cellules présentatrices d'antigène, les cellules de Langerhans à produire IL-23p19 en réponse au PAF. Ensuite, nous avons mis en contact ces cellules de Langerhans pré-stimulées au PAF avec des lymphocytes T activés pendant 5 jours pour vérifier l'expression de RORII et la production d'IL-17 dans ces lymphocytes T, plus précisément les lymphocytes T CD4 + . Cette étude nous a permis de mettre en évidence que certains éléments impliqués dans les processus inflammatoires sont possiblement inséparables et interagissent probablement les uns avec les autres pour mener aux séquelles multiples de l'inflammation.
