Interstitial Dendritic Cell Guidance by Haptotactic Chemokine Gradients

Abstract: Directional guidance of cells via gradients of chemokines is considered crucial for embryonic development, cancer dissemination, and immune responses. Nevertheless, the concept still lacks direct experimental confirmation in vivo. Here, we identify endogenous gradients of the chemokine CCL21 within mouse skin and show that they guide dendritic cells toward lymphatic vessels. Quantitative imaging reveals depots of CCL21 within lymphatic endothelial cells and steeply decaying gradients within the perilymphatic i… Show more

“…Although it is intuitive to assume that B cells would follow a chemotactic gradient from their site of entry in the T-cell zone toward adjacent B-cell follicles, as recently observed during dendritic cell migration to lymphatic vessels, 35,36 we did not find evidence for directed motility inside lymphoid tissue. While we cannot exclude a subtle follicle-directed B-cell taxis that is undetectable due to the confined observation volume and duration, 37 B cells in close proximity to follicles typically turned back into the T-cell area.…”

“…The mechanism by which CCR7 mediates accumulation of migratory DCs in draining LN involves guidance of the DCs within the perilymphatic interstitium along gradients of the CCR7 ligand CCL21 that is produced by the lymphatic capillary endothelial cells (48). Although we could not detect CCR7 on SI LP DCs directly ex vivo, the moderate difference observed between WT and MyD88-deficient SI LP-derived CD103 + DCs in the MLN indicates that MyD88 is involved in regulating CCR7 expression in these cells also in the steady state.…”

“…Although this concept has been established based on in vitro assays, it is widely accepted. Two recent studies now provide direct evidence from tissues that gradients of the chemokines CXCL8 and CCL21 for attracting leukocytes are established by glycan binding [3,4]. Interestingly, some chemokines such as CCL2 are additionally stored locally in vesicles resembling type 2 granules that are docked on actin fibers just beneath the plasma membrane of endothelial cells, and hence are not exposed at the surface and not visible [5].…”

“…The importance of CME for focal adhesion disassembly is highlighted by the fact that depletion of dynamin2 blocks b1 integrin internalization leading to impaired focal adhesion disassembly and consequently to defects in cell migration [86]. CME depends on phosphatidylinositol (4,5)bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P 2 ] which is generated by the enzyme PIPK1b and contributes to the recruitment of endocytic proteins like AP-2. Consistently, depletion of PIPK1b likewise decreased internalization of active b1 integrin, focal adhesion turnover and migration due to the impaired recruitment of the endocytic machinery to focal adhesion sites [87].…”
