PG - 82-9 LID - 10.1016/j.cellimm.2011.04.010 [doi] AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) are central in regulating both innate and acquired immunity, but their possible age-related functional modifications are still unclear. Here we have analyzed the effect of age on LPS-treated monocyte-derived DCs (MDDCs). A negative correlation between age and cell expression of ICAM-1, CD25 and IL-10 was observed in a group of healthy donors. This has been confirmed by a significantly reduced expression of the same molecules in cells of subgrouped elderly versus younger individuals. On the contrary, a positive correlation between age and cell expression of IL-6 and IL-18 has been reported in all the subjects and further supported by a significant increase of the two pro-inflammatory cytokines in cells of elderly versus young subjects. Our data indicate that aging can impair the expression of ICAM-1 and CD25 and skew the production of cytokines, including IL-18, which concur to make a pro-inflammatory milieu. Altogether, the present results point to additional molecules whose role might be relevant in immunosenescence of human DCs, confirming that these cells undergo functional changes during aging.
