Notch-mediated cellular interactions are known to regulate cell fate decisions In various developmental systems. A previous report Indicated that monocytes express relatively high amounts of Notch-1 and Notch-2 and that the Immobilized extracellular domain of the Notch ligand, Delta-1 Delta(ext-myc)), induces apoptosis in peripheral blood monocytes cultured with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), but not granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF). The present study determined the effect of Notch signaling on monocyte differentiation into macrophages and dendritic cells. Re-suits showed that immobilized Deltaext-myc Inhibited differentiation of monocytes into mature macrophages (CD1a(+/-)CD14(+/-)CD64(+)) with GM-CSF. However, Deltaext-myc permitted differentiation into immature dendritic cells (CD1a(+)CD14(-)CD64(-)) with GMCSF and interleukin 4 (IL-4), and further differentiation into mature dendritic cells (CD1a(+)CD83(+)) with GM-CSF, IL-4, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Notch signaling affected the differentiation of CD1a(-)CD14(+) macrophage/dendritic cell precursors derived in vitro from CD34(+) cells. With GM-CSF and TNF-alpha, exposure to Delta(ext-myc) increased the proportion of precursors that differentiated into CD1a(+)CD14(-) dendritic cells (51% in the presence of Delta(ext-myc) versus 10% in control cultures), whereas a decreased proportion differentiated into CD1a(-)CD14(+) macrophages (6% versus 65%). These data Indicate a role for Notch signaling in regulating cell fate decisions by bipotent macrophage/dendritic precursors. (C) 2001 by The American Society of Hematology.
