PG - 63-73 LID - S0022-1759(17)30409-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jim.2018.04.005 [doi] AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) and mast cells (MCs) are key players of the immune system, often coming in close proximity in peripheral tissues. The interplay of these cells is, however, still poorly understood, especially with regards to human cells. The reason for that is the absence of a well established in vitro human cell-based study system that would allow a simultaneous preparation of both cell types. In this study, we show a method for simultaneous generation of DCs and MCs from CD34(+) stem cell progenitors that were isolated from the non-adherent fraction of non-mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors. We observed that combining stem cells factor (SCF), IL-3 and GM-CSF in serum-free StemPro-34 medium allowed CD34(+) cells isolated from an equivalent of 450 ml of peripheral blood to expand to 10-92 x 10(6) cells after 7 weeks of culturing. These cultures comprised of 6-53% of DCs and 1-21% of MCs as determined by the expression of, respectively, CD11c/HLA-DR or CD117/FcepsilonRI. The DCs were CD1a(-)CD14(-), did not express co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD83 and chemokine receptor CCR7. However, the DCs expressed co-stimulatory molecule CD86, and had a capacity to uptake dextran, phagocyte latex particles and induce alloreactivity. MCs, on the other hand, degranulated after crosslinking of FcepsilonRI-bound IgE as determined by the externalization of CD107b. Collectively, our data show that CD34(+)-derived human DCs and MCs can be generated in a single culture using CD34(+) cells isolated from non-mobilized human peripheral blood and that this method may allow ex vivo studies on DC-MC interplay in human system.
