Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells and trigger downstream immune responses to antigen while integrating cellular pathogen and damage-associated molecular pattern (PAMP and DAMP) or immunomodulatory signals. In healthy individuals, resting and tolerogenic DCs draining skin and intestine facilitate expansion of regulatory T cells (Treg) to maintain peripheral antigen-specific immune tolerance. In patients with rheumatic diseases, however, DCs activated by PAMPs and DAMPs expand self-reactive effector T cells, including follicular helper T cells that promote the expansion of activated autoreactive B cells, chronic inflammation and end-organ damage. With the development of cellular and nanoparticle (NP)-based self-antigen-specific immunotherapies we here consider the new opportunities and the challenges for restoring immunoregulation in the treatment and prevention of autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic conditions through DCs.
树突状细胞(DCs)是专业的抗原递呈细胞,在整合细胞病原体和损伤相关分子模式(PAMP 和 DAMP)或免疫调节信号的同时,触发对抗原的下游免疫反应。在健康人体内,排出皮肤和肠道的静息和耐受性 DC 可促进调节性 T 细胞(Treg)的扩增,从而维持外周抗原特异性免疫耐受。然而,在风湿病患者中,被 PAMPs 和 DAMPs 激活的 DCs 会扩增自我反应性效应 T 细胞,包括促进活化的自反应性 B 细胞扩增、慢性炎症和内脏损伤的滤泡辅助性 T 细胞。随着基于细胞和纳米粒子(NP)的自身抗原特异性免疫疗法的发展,我们在此探讨通过 DCs 恢复免疫调节以治疗和预防自身免疫性炎症性风湿病的新机遇和挑战。
期刊介绍:
Evidence-based updates of best clinical practice across the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions.
Best Practice & Research: Clinical Rheumatology keeps the clinician or trainee informed of the latest developments and current recommended practice in the rapidly advancing fields of musculoskeletal conditions and science.
The series provides a continuous update of current clinical practice. It is a topical serial publication that covers the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions in a 4-year cycle. Each topic-based issue contains around 200 pages of practical, evidence-based review articles, which integrate the results from the latest original research with current clinical practice and thinking to provide a continuous update.
Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. The review articles seek to address the clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient. The serial is aimed at the physician in both practice and training.
