Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen-presenting cells with a unique capacity to initiate and regulate immune responses. Immature CD1a(+) DC can be cultured from CD14(+) monocytes in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4 and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor in vitro. Results of this study show that the nonsteroidal anti-estrogens toremifene and tamoxifen inhibit this differentiation. In the presence of anti-estrogens the cells lose CD14 expression, but remain CD1a(-) and clearly have less dendritic processes than immature DC, Functionally, anti-estrogen-treated cells are inferior to immature DC in inducing proliferation of allogeneic T cells and in producing IL-12 p70 protein after CD40 ligation, The expression of the costimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 is differentially regulated by anti-estrogens during DC differentiation. Furthermore, antiestrogens are also able to inhibit the terminal maturation of DC. By inhibiting the functional differentiation of DC, antiestrogens may have a role in the treatment and prevention of autoimmune diseases.
