Update on the role of plasmacytoid dendritic cells in inflammatory/autoimmune skin diseases

Abstract: Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) represent a specialized dendritic cell population that exhibit plasma cell morphology, express CD4, CD123, blood-derived dendritic cell antigen-2 (BDCA-2) and Toll-like receptor (TLR)7 and TLR9 within endosomal compartments. When activated, pDCs are capable of producing large quantities of type I IFNs (mainly IFN-a/b), which provide antiviral resistance and link the innate and adaptive immunity. While generally lacking from normal skin, pDCs infiltrate the skin and appear to… Show more

“…In cell culture models, FasL induces the characteristic hypergranulosis while IFN‐γ causes keratinocyte apoptosis with cytoid body formation, and ICAM‐1 expression . Increasing evidence suggests an additional and important role for plasmacytoid dendritic cells and IFN‐α in the pathogenesis of lichenoid diseases, possibly via recruitment and amplification of interface dermatitis …”

“…These studies may focus on mechanisms involving plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), the most potent producers of type I IFN. Chronic pDC activation is known to contribute to the initiation of different autoimmune skin disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, vitiligo and alopecia aerata [58]. Furthermore, the occurrence of a feedback regulatory loop does exist between DCs and FOXP3+ Treg cells, which are essential for maintaining self tolerance [59].…”
