TLDR
Treml4 is a new Trem family molecule that is abundantly expressed on CD8α+ DCs and subsets of splenic resident macrophages, and can recognize dead cells by different types of phagocytes in spleen.Abstract:
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional APCs that can control immune responses against self and altered self, typically foreign, determinants. DCs can be divided into several subsets, including CD8alpha(+) and CD8alpha(-) DCs. These subsets possess specific functions. For example, mouse splenic CD8alpha(+), but not CD8alpha(-) DCs selectively take up dying cells and cross-present cell-associated Ags to naive T cells. In this study, we identified genes that were more expressed in CD8alpha(+) than CD8alpha(-) DCs by microarray analysis. Only one of these genes, when the extracellular domains were linked to human IgG Fc domain, could bind to late apoptotic or necrotic cells. This gene was a new member of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (Trem) family, Trem-like 4 (Treml4). Treml4 mRNA and protein, the latter detected with a new mAb, were predominantly expressed in spleen. Treml4, like other Trem family members, could associate with the adaptor molecule DNAX activation protein 12 kDa, but neither DNAX activation protein 10 kDa nor FcRgamma. Consistent with the microarray data, we confirmed that Treml4 protein was more expressed on CD8alpha(+) than CD8alpha(-) DCs, and we also found that Treml4 was expressed at high levels on splenic macrophages in spleen, particularly red pulp and marginal metallophilic macrophages. In addition, Treml4 expression on DCs was not changed after maturation induced by TLR ligands. Thus, Treml4 is a new Trem family molecule that is abundantly expressed on CD8alpha(+) DCs and subsets of splenic resident macrophages, and can recognize dead cells by different types of phagocytes in spleen.read more

TL;DR: Whereas human and mouse monocyte subsets are far more broadly conserved than currently recognized, important differences between the species deserve consideration when models of human disease are studied in mice.

TL;DR: The zinc finger transcription factor zDC is uniquely expressed by the c DC lineage among immune cells, and the insertion of diphtheria toxin receptor cDNA into the zDC locus allows specific ablation of the cDC lineage in mice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TREM2 interacts with endogenous ligands on neurons, forming a receptor–ligand pair connecting microglia with apoptotic neurons, directing removal of damaged cells to allow repair.

TL;DR: The results have important implications for the clinical use of genetically modified tumor cells as therapeutic cancer vaccines and the levels of anti-tumor immunity reported previously in cytokine gene transfer studies involving live, transduced cells could be achieved through the use of irradiated cells alone.

TL;DR: The spleen enables it to remove older erythrocytes from the circulation and leads to the efficient removal of blood-borne microorganisms and cellular debris, which makes it the most important organ for antibacterial and antifungal immune reactivity.

A blast from the past: clearance of apoptotic cells regulates immune responses
TL;DR: Apoptosis, which is a programmed and physiological form of cell death, is known to shape the immune system by regulating populations of effector lymphocytes, but the binding and ingestion of dying cells by monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells can also influence immune responses markedly by enhancing or suppressing inflammation.

TL;DR: Using phage display, a gene that appears to recognize phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells is cloned and shown to be highly homologous to genes of unknown function in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, suggesting that phosphatido-serine recognition on apoptosis cells during their removal by phagocytes is highly conserved throughout phylogeny.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that C1q deficiency causes autoimmunity by impairment of the clearance of apoptotic cells is compatible with the hypothesis that a physiological action of the early part of the classical pathway protects against the development of SLE.
