PG - 37-42 LID - S0165-2427(16)30181-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.vetimm.2016.09.007 [doi] AB - The specific factors which regulate differentiation and maturation of dendritic cells in bovine pregnancy remain unclear. We evaluated the influence of physiologically relevant in vitro treatments of progesterone (PG) and estradiol (E2) observed in late pregnancy on the differentiation and maturation of CD14+ monocyte-derived dendritic cell (moDC) from non-pregnant, lactating dairy cows (n=7). We found that moDC differentiated in the presence of both E2 and PG had impaired E. coli-induced phenotypic maturation, specifically a significant reduction in CD80 and MHC II expression. Contrary to our previous work characterizing moDC from late gestating dairy cattle, we did not observe an increase in CD14 expression relative to the untreated control; this increase was only observed in the current data in the dexamethasone-treated moDC. The moDC treated with a combination of both E2 and PG had significantly greater upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 relative to the untreated control, but TNFalpha production was not suppressed; only dexamethasone-treated moDC showed abrogated TNFalpha production. These data suggest moDC may be regulated by E2 and PG to hinder phenotypic maturation and regulate inflammatory responses. Pregnancy-associated hormone profiles appear to be involved in the generation of maternal immune tolerance in pregnancy. These hormone-facilitated changes to moDC in pregnancy may also impede optimal immune responses to both invading pathogens and routine vaccinations administered in late gestation through limited antigen presentation and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine production. These results provide insight into maternal immune modulation and elucidate potential immune changes necessary to facilitate bovine pregnancy. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
