Effect of engineered heterogeneous skins cells on phenotypes of langerhans cells / 中国免疫学杂志

Objective:To study the effect of seeding cells of tissue-engineered skins,keratinocytes and fibroblasts,on the phenotypes of langerhans cells (LC).Methods:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were induced by cytokines,granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF),interleukin 4 (IL-4),transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) to generate LCs,which were subsequently cocultured with allogenic keratinocytes or fibroblasts.Then the phenotypes of langerhans cells was detected by flow cytometer (FCM),and the degree of proliferation of autogeneic lymphocytes was assessed after stimulation with LCs.Results:Cultured LCs had low level expression of HLA-DR,CD80,CD86 and no expression of CD83.Cocultured with allogenic keratinocytes or fibroblasts,phenotypes of LCs did not change significantly.Simultaneously,LCs could not stimulate autogeneic lymphocytes proliferation.Conclusion:These data indicate that LCs cocultured with seeding cells of tissue-engineered skins remain immature state.It is suggested that seeding cells of tissue-engineered skins have low immunogenicity and are unable to induce significant immunological rejection of host after transplantation.
