Biorheological changes of dendritic cells at the different differentiation stages

Abstract: The differentiation, maturation and functioning of Dendritic cells (DCs) are dynamic processes. This study investigated the changes of DCs' migration ability and biorheological properties during their differentiation. Transmigration assay showed that, DCs' migration rate was improved significantly as they differentiate (p < 0.05); NSC (Rac1 blocker) treatment could significantly decrease their migration rates (p < 0.05). Confocal images showed that, F-actin uniformly distributed in monocytes; with DC's differe… Show more

“…EPM is one of the biophysical parameters, which reflect the negative charges on the surface of cell membrane. Our previous studies have shown that DCs’ EPM continuously increased during their differentiation process [ 42 ]. Here, we found that EPMs of mDCs were decreased after the treatment of IL-10 ( Fig 1 ), suggesting that the surface charges on the membrane of mDCs were reduced.…”

“…The electrophoretic mobility of DCs was associated with the presence of negative charges on their surface membrane. It has be established that the number of these charges continuously increases during the differentiation process (maturation and activation) of the DCs, which is directly linked with their movability [22]. Decrease of these charges on the surface of the cell membrane leads to an increase in the adhesion forces of the DCs to the components of the tumor microenvironment, and limits the motility of the DCs.…”
