Migration of resident dendritic cells (DC) from the skin to local lymph nodes (LN) triggers T cell-mediated immune responses during cutaneous infection, autoimmune disease and vaccination. Here we investigated whether the development and migration of skin resident DC were regulated by interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4), a transcription factor that is required for the development of CD11b+ splenic DC. We found that the skin of naïve IRF4−/− mice contained normal numbers of epidermal Langerhans cells (eLC) and increased numbers of CD11b+ and CD103+ dermal DC populations, indicating that tissue DC development and skin residency is not disrupted by IRF4 deficiency. In contrast, numbers of migratory eLC and CD11b+ dermal DC were significantly reduced in the cutaneous LN of IRF4−/− mice, suggesting a defect in constitutive migration from the dermis during homeostasis. Upon induction of skin inflammation, CD11b+ dermal DC in IRF4−/− mice did not express the chemokine receptor CCR7, and failed to migrate to cutaneous LN, while the migration of eLC was only mildly impaired. Thus, while dispensable for their development, IRF4 is crucial for the CCR7-mediated migration of CD11b+ dermal DC, a predominant population in murine and human skin that plays a vital role in normal and pathogenic cutaneous immunity.
