Abstract

Dendritic cells (DCs) are important mediators of the innate and adaptive immune responses. However,the network of genes governing the differentiation of these cells has been a topic of discussion for along time, mainly because of their similarity to other myeloid lineages, such as monocytes and macrophages. DC differentiation was induced ex vivo using a Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L)dependent culture resulting in the formation of bone marrow-derived CD11c+ DCs (BMDCs). To gain insights into the epigenetic processes and signaling networks that govern DC differentiation we performed DNA methylation and transcriptome profiling on distinct stages of the differentiation process. Distinct CpG dinucleotides demonstrated dynamic methylation changes during differentiation.Transcriptome analysis identified a reduction in gene expression of developmental signaling pathways including the Wnt pathway that included decreased expression of Wnt5a and an increase in the expression of Cyclin D1 (Ccnd1). Differentiation of BMDC in the absence of Ccnd1 resulted in a reduction in CD11c+ cells suggesting a role for Ccnd1 in governing differentiation of DCs.
