PROJECT SUMMARY
Cutaneous immune responses must be tightly controlled to prevent inflammatory and allergic
diseases, i.e., atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and pemphigus vulgaris. Foxp3+
regulatory T cells (T regs) play a critical role in skin immunoregulation. T regs can be naturally
generated in the thymus, or can be induced de novo from CD4+ naïve T cells in the periphery by
antigen presenting cells, especially dendritic cells (DCs). The DC system is intricate and is
comprised of distinct subsets such as, skin migratory Langerhans cells, skin migratory classical
dermal DCs and CD103+ dermal DCs, and tissueresident DCs. The relative role of each of these
subsets in inducing T regs has been until now indeterminate. Using a novel approach that consists
of directing antigens to different subsets of DCs in vivo using monoclonal antibodies against
surface receptors, we have found strong evidence that not all DCs have the ability to induce
regulatory T cells, but instead skin migratory DC excel in this function. This observation leads to my
hypothesis that these subsets of skin migratory DC are intrinsically programmed by a set of
transcriptional factors to induce this type of response. Additionally, local environmental/dietary
factors are also described to play a role in the generation of T regs. For instance, the vitamin A
active compound retinoic acid, working in conjunction with TGFβ, is known to have a positive
impact in the induction of T regs in the intestinal track. Similarly, there is ample evidence in vitro
suggesting that Vitamin D acts on DCs and/or T cells for generation of a tolerogenic phenotype.
The contribution of the proposed research is expected to be: 1) the identification of DCintrinsic
signaling pathways that program subsets of skin migratory DC to the induction of T regs, 2) the
determination of the role of Vitamins, acting on DCs and/or T cells in vivo, for the generation of T
regs, and 3) the evaluation of the suppressive activity of induced Tregs in a mouse model of atopic
dermatitis. We are prepared to undertake the proposed research since we have all the necessary
tools for studying DC functions in vivo, as well as, ample experience with DC subsets. With my
mentors, I have planned the aims to achieve a comprehensive training in molecular biology
approaches and mouse genetic engineering during the K99 phase of the award. This project is of
particular relevance because in most skin inflammatory diseases the number of T regs is altered,
qualitatively and/or quantitatively, suggesting their role in the pathophysiology of the illness. A
detailed comprehension of the mechanisms of DCmediated T reg induction will help to understand
the events that lead to the appearance of skin disease. Also, this knowledge is likely to be
beneficial to the development new therapeutic targets to increase T reg, which in turn will lead to
improved treatment of inflammatory skin diseases and their complications.
