Article Abstract
Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) play a crucial role in generating high-affinity antibody-producing B cells during the germinal center (GC) reaction. Herein, we analysed the altered gene expression profile of a mouse FDC line, FL-Y, following lymphotoxin β receptor stimulation, and observed increased Slam-family member 8 (Slamf8) mRNA expression. Forced Slamf8 expression and SLAMF8-Fc addition enhanced the ability of FL-Y cells to induce FDC-induced monocytic cell (FDMC) differentiation. FDMCs accelerated GC-phenotype proliferation in cultured B cells, suggesting that they are capable of promoting GC responses. Furthermore, a pulldown assay showed that SLAMF8-Fc could bind to SLAMF8-His. Overall, the homophilic interaction of SLAMF8 promotes FDMC differentiation and SLAMF8 might act as a novel regulator of GC responses by regulating FDMC differentiation.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the high-risk infectious pathogen that caused global pandemic and high mortality, particularly in the areas lack in health resources. Clinical TB screening and diagnosis are so far mainly conducted on limited types of commercial platforms, which are expensive and require skilled personnel. In this work, we introduced a low-cost and portable finger-driven microfluidic chip (named Fd-MC) based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) for rapid on-site detection of TB.

Interleukin 34 (IL-34) constitutes a cytokine that shares a common receptor, colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R), with CSF-1. We recently identified a novel type of monocytic cell termed follicular dendritic cell-induced monocytic cells (FDMCs), whose differentiation depended on CSF-1R signaling through the IL-34 produced from a follicular dendritic cell line, FL-Y. Here, we report the functional mechanisms of the IL-34-mediated CSF-1R signaling underlying FDMC differentiation.

With the use of a mouse FDC line, FL-Y, we have been analyzing roles for FDCs in controlling B cell fate in GCs. Beside these regulatory functions, we fortuitously found that FL-Y cells induced a new type of CD11b⁺ monocytic cells (F4/80⁺, Gr-1⁻, Ly6C⁻, I-A/E(-/lo), CD11c⁻, CD115⁺, CXCR4⁺, CCR2⁺, CX₃CR1⁻) when cultured with a Lin⁻c-kit⁺ population from mouse spleen cells. The developed CD11b⁺ cells shared a similar gene-expression profile to mononuclear phagocytes and were designated as FDMCs.
