PG - 110215 LID - S0165-2427(21)00033-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.vetimm.2021.110215 [doi] AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen presenting cells (APCs). Because of the difficulty in obtaining these cells directly from tissues, different sources of DCs are frequently used for in vitro experimentation and many of their biological and functional characteristics were studied using these systems. Until recently, it was assumed that specific culture conditions polarized the differentiation of either DCs or macrophages (Macs); however, it was shown that some DC culture systems in other species generate heterogeneous cell populations that can be identified according to their CD11c and MHC class II (MHC-II) expression. Following this approach, porcine DCs were directly isolated from peripheral blood or differentiated in vitro by culturing bone marrow (BM) progenitor cells or blood monocytes treated with growth factors. Mostly homogeneous monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) were obtained with similar phenotype and phagocytic characteristics to that of blood DCs. On the contrary, BM-derived DC (BMDC) cultures generated two distinct heterogeneous populations identified as MHC-II(+) and MHC-II(++) cells. BMDCs MHC-II(+) had similar phenotypic and phagocytic characteristics to those of MoDCs and blood DCs. However, BMDCs MHC-II(++) population expressed a higher amount of surface markers and transcribed genes associated with Macs-lineage exhibiting a higher phagocytic capacity than all the other cells. Noteworthy, every cell system expressed different genetic signatures. These results will help interpreting and re-interpreting data obtained using in vitro systems. CI - Copyright (c) 2021.
