TIM-4 is differentially expressed in the distinct subsets of dendritic cells in skin and skin-draining lymph nodes and controls skin Langerhans cell homeostasis

Abstract: T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-4 (TIM-4), mainly expressed on dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages, plays an essential role in regulating immune responses. Langerhans cells (LC), which are the sole DC subpopulation residing at the epidermis, are potent mediators of immune surveillance and tolerance. However, the significance of TIM-4 on epidermal LCs, along with other cutaneous DCs, remains totally unexplored. For the first time, we discovered that epidermal LCs expressed TIM-4 and displayed an increased leve… Show more

“…8 During sensitization, allergens (or haptens) are topically applied to the skin, where they gain immunogenicity after internalization by skin-resident antigen-presenting cells (APCs), notably dermal DCs (dDC1 and dDC2s) and Langerhans cells (LCs). 17,[29][30][31] Hapten-activated APCs traffic to skin-draining lymph nodes (sdLNs), where they activate CD4 1 and CD8 1 T cells. During elicitation, reexposure to the same hapten at a neutral skin site triggers a robust activation of this primed T-cell response, resulting in localized inflammation, irritation, and edema.…”

“…Recently, Zhang et al (52) found that the expression of Tim-4 was variable in the different subsets of DCs in skin and skindraining LNs that were studied. Dermal CD207 + DCs and LNs resident CD207 − CD4 + DCs highly expressed Tim-4.…”

“…We have previously shown that ectopic expression of human and mouse TIM-4 in HEK 293T cells enhances rVSV/EBOV GP entry [50,51]. While it is appreciated that tissue macrophage and dendritic cell populations express endogenous TIM-4 in both humans and mice [91,92], the role of this receptor in filovirus infection of those primary populations has not been previously reported. Two lines of evidence indicated that TIM-4 is important for EBOV infection of pmacs.…”
