BRIEF DEFINITIVE REPORT:
Transforming Growth Factor 1, in the Presence of Granulocyte/Macrophage Colony-stimulating Factor and Interleukin 4, Induces Differentiation of Human Peripheral Blood Monocytes into Dendritic Langerhans Cells

By Frederic Geissmann,^* Catherine Prost,^§ Jean-Paul Monnet,^* Michel Dy, Nicole Brousse,^* and Olivier Hermine

From the ^* Service d'Anatomie Pathologique,  URA CNRS 1461, Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades, ^§ Service de Dermatologie, Hôpital Saint-Louis, and  Service d'Hématologie Clinique, Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades, Université René Descartes-Paris V, Paris, France

Langerhans cells (LCs) are dendritic cells (DCs) that are present in the epidermis, bronchi, and mucosae. Although LCs originate in bone marrow, little is known about their lineage of origin. In this study, we demonstrate that in vitro LCs may originate from monocytes. Adult peripheral blood CD14⁺ monocytes differentiate into LCs (CD1a⁺, E-cadherin⁺, cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen⁺, Birbeck granules⁺, Lag⁺) in the presence of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin 4, and transforming growth factor 1 (TGF-1). This process occurs with virtually no cell proliferation and is not impaired by 30 Gy irradiation. Selection of monocyte subpopulations is ruled out since monocyte-derived DCs can further differentiate into LCs. Our data suggest that in vivo LC differentiation may be induced peripherally, from a nonproliferating myeloid precursor, i.e., the monocyte, in response to a TGF-1-rich microenvironment, as found in the skin and epithelia. Therefore, the monocyte may represent a circulating precursor critical to the immune response in vivo.
