PG - 851017 LID - 10.3389/ftox.2022.851017 [doi] LID - 851017 AB - Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a complex skin pathology occurring in reaction against environmental substances found in the workplace (cement, hair dyes, textile dyes), in the private environment (e.g., household products, cosmetic ingredients), or following skin exposure to drugs. Many cells are involved in the initiation of ACD during the sensitization phase. The four key events (KE) of skin sensitization AOP are covalent binding to skin proteins (KE1), keratinocyte activation (KE2), activation of DCs (KE3), and T-cell activation and proliferation (KE4), leading to the adverse outcome of ACD. Dendritic cells (DCs) are thus playing a key role in ACD pathophysiology. Indeed, in the presence of chemical sensitizers, DCs migrate from the skin to the draining lymph nodes and present peptide-chemical conjugates to T cells, leading to their activation and proliferation. In vitro methods have been actively developed to assess the activation of DCs by chemicals to establish a reliable in vitro sensitization test. Therefore, this review will detail the most used methods and protocols to develop DC models in vitro. Three different models of DCs will be addressed: 1) DCs derived from Cord Blood (CD34-DCs), 2) DCs derived from Monocytes (Mo-DCs), and 3) DCs derived from mice Bone-Marrow (BM-DCs). In addition, a model of exposition to contact sensitizers to assess KE3 of skin sensitization will be detailed for each of the models presented.
