The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The IRF8-dependent subset of classical dendritic cells (cDC), termed cDC1, is important for cross-priming cytotoxic T cell responses against pathogens and tumors. Culture of hematopoietic progenitors with DC growth factor Flt3 ligand (Flt3L) yields very few cDC1 (in humans) or only immature "cDC1-like" cells (in the mouse). We report that OP9 stromal cells expressing Notch ligand Delta-like 1 (OP9-DL1) optimize Flt3L-driven development of cDC1 from murine immortalized progenitors and primary bone marrow cells. Co-culture with OP9-DL1 induced IRF8-dependent cDC1 with the phenotype (CD103+ Dec205+CD8+) and expression profile resembling primary splenic cDC1. OP9-DL1-induced cDC1 showed preferential migration towards Ccr7 ligands in vitro and superior T cell cross- priming and antitumor vaccination in vivo. Co-culture with OP9-DL1 also greatly increased the yield of IRF8-dependent CD141+ cDC1 from human bone marrow progenitors cultured with Flt3L. Thus, Notch signaling optimizes cDC generation in vitro and yields authentic cDC1 for functional studies and translational applications.
