Abstract
Three distinct dendritic cell (DC) subsets capable of stimulating allogeneic naive T cells were isolated from human thymus. The most abundant subset was represented by plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), which secreted high amounts of IFN-alpha upon stimulation with inactivated influenza virus and thus likely correspond to the recently identified peripheral blood natural IFN-alpha/beta-producing cells (IPCs). Like those latter cells, thymic pDCs had distinctive phenotypic features (i.e., Lin(-), HLA-DR(int), IL-3R alpha(hi), CD45RA(hi), CD11c(-), CD13(-), and CD33(lo)) and developed into mature DCs upon culture in IL-3 and CD40L. Of the two other DC subsets, one displayed a phenotype of immature myeloid DCs (imDCs) (HLA-DR(int), CD11c(+), CD13(+), CD33(+)), and the other represented HLA-DR(hi) CD11c(+) mature DCs (mDCs). Since they also expressed DC-LAMP, these mDCs appear to correspond to interdigitating dendritic cells (IDCs). Thymic pDCs, but not myeloid imDCs, strongly expressed lymphoid-specific transcripts such as pre-T alpha, lambda-like, and Spi-B, thereby suggesting a possible lymphoid origin. The detection of Spi-B mRNA, not only upon in vitro maturation of pDCs, but also in freshly purified IDCs, suggests that in vivo pDCs may differentiate into IDCs.

Abstract
The sources and mechanisms of inorganic carbon transport for scleractinian coral calcification and photosynthesis were studied using a double labelling technique with H(14)CO(3) and (45)Ca. Clones of Stylophora pistillata that had developed into microcolonies were examined. Compartmental and pharmacological analyses of the distribution of(45)Ca and H(14)CO(3) in the coelenteron, tissues and skeleton were performed in dark or light conditions or in the presence of various seawater HCO(3)(−) concentrations. For calcification, irrespective of the lighting conditions, the major source of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is metabolic CO(2) (70–75% of total CaCO(3) deposition), while only 25–30% originates from the external medium (seawater carbon pool). These results are in agreement with the observation that metabolic CO(2) production in the light is at least six times greater than is required for calcification. This source is dependent on carbonic anhydrase activity because it is sensitive to ethoxyzolamide. Seawater DIC is transferred from the external medium to the coral skeleton by two different pathways: from sea water to the coelenteron, the passive paracellular pathway is largely sufficient, while a DIDS-sensitive transcellular pathway appears to mediate the flux across calicoblastic cells. Irrespective of the source, an anion exchanger performs the secretion of DIC at the site of calcification. Furthermore, a fourfold light-enhanced calcification of Stylophora pistillata microcolonies was measured. This stimulation was only effective after a lag of 10 min. These results are discussed in the context of light-enhanced calcification. Characterisation of the DIC supply for symbiotic dinoflagellate photosynthesis demonstrated the presence of a DIC pool within the tissues. The size of this pool was dependent on the lighting conditions, since it increased 39-fold after 3 h of illumination. Passive DIC equilibration through oral tissues between sea water and the coelenteric cavity is insufficient to supply this DIC pool, suggesting that there is an active transepithelial absorption of inorganic carbon sensitive to DIDS, ethoxyzolamide and iodide. These results confirm the presence of CO(2)-concentrating mechanisms in coral cells. The tissue pool is not, however, used as a source for calcification since no significant lag phase in the incorporation of external seawater DIC was measured.

Abstract
In this study, we describe human FDF03, a novel member of the Ig superfamily expressed as a monomeric 44-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein and containing a single extracellular V-set Ig-like domain. Two potential secreted isoforms were also identified. The gene encoding FDF03 mapped to chromosome 7q22. FDF03 was mostly detected in hemopoietic tissues and was expressed by monocytes, macrophages, and granulocytes, but not by lymphocytes (B, T, and NK cells), indicating an expression restricted to cells of the myelomonocytic lineage. FDF03 was also strongly expressed by monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC) and preferentially by CD14+/CD1a- DC derived from CD34+ progenitors. Moreover, flow cytometric analysis showed FDF03 expression by CD11c+ blood and tonsil DC, but not by CD11c- DC precursors. The FDF03 cytoplasmic tail contained two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-like sequences. When overexpressed in pervanadate-treated U937 cells, FDF03 was tyrosine-phosphorylated and recruited Src homology-2 (SH2) domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP)-2 and to a lesser extent SHP-1. Like engagement of the ITIM-bearing receptor LAIR-1/p40, cross-linking of FDF03 inhibited calcium mobilization in response to CD32/FcgammaRII aggregation in transfected U937 cells, thus demonstrating that FDF03 can function as an inhibitory receptor. However, in contrast to LAIR-1/p40, cross-linking of FDF03 did not inhibit GM-CSF-induced monocyte differentiation into DC. Thus, FDF03 is a novel ITIM-bearing receptor selectively expressed by cells of myeloid origin, including DC, that may regulate functions other than that of the broadly distributed LAIR-1/p40 molecule.

Abstract
In vivo, dendritic cells (DC) form a network comprising different populations. In particular, Langerhans cells (LC) appear as a unique population of cells dependent on transforming growth factor beta(TGF-beta) for its development. In this study, we show that endogenous TGF-beta is required for the development of both LC and non-LC DC from CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) through induction of DC progenitor proliferation and of CD1a+ and CD14+ DC precursor differentiation. We further demonstrate that addition of exogenous TGF-beta polarized the differentiation of CD34+ HPC toward LC through induction of differentiation of CD14+ DC precursors into E-cadherin+, Lag+CD68-, and Factor XIIIa-LC, displaying typical Birbeck granules. LC generated from CD34+ HPC in the presence of exogenous TGF-beta displayed overlapping functions with CD1a+ precursor-derived DC. In particular, unlike CD14(+)-derived DC obtained in the absence of TGF-beta, they neither secreted interleukin-10 (IL-10) on CD40 triggering nor stimulated the differentiation of CD40-activated naive B cells. Finally, IL-4, when combined with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), induced TGF-beta-independent development of non-LC DC from CD34+ HPC. Similarly, the development of DC from monocytes with GM-CSF and IL-4 was TGF-beta independent. Collectively these results show that TGF-beta polarized CD34+ HPC differentiation toward LC, whereas IL-4 induced non-LC DC development independently of TGF-beta.

Abstract
We have identified a novel member of the calcium-dependent (C-type) lectin family. This molecule, designated DCIR (for dendritic cell (DC) immunoreceptor), is a type II membrane glycoprotein of 237 aa with a single carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD), closest in homology to those of the macrophage lectin and hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptors. The intracellular domain of DCIR contains a consensus immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif. A mouse cDNA, encoding a homologous protein has been identified. Northern blot analysis showed DCIR mRNA to be predominantly transcribed in hematopoietic tissues. The gene encoding human DCIR was localized to chromosome 12p13, in a region close to the NK gene complex. Unlike members of this complex, DCIR displays a typical lectin CRD rather than an NK cell type extracellular domain, and was expressed on DC, monocytes, macrophages, B lymphocytes, and granulocytes, but not detected on NK and T cells. DCIR was strongly expressed by DC derived from blood monocytes cultured with GM-CSF and IL-4. DCIR was mostly expressed by monocyte-related rather than Langerhans cell related DC obtained from CD34+ progenitor cells. Finally, DCIR expression was down-regulated by signals inducing DC maturation such as CD40 ligand, LPS, or TNF-alpha. Thus, DCIR is differentially expressed on DC depending on their origin and stage of maturation/activation. DCIR represents a novel surface molecule expressed by Ag presenting cells, and of potential importance in regulation of DC function.

Abstract
CD40 is a 50-kDa protein expressed on B cells, dendritic cells, monocytes and epithelial cells, but the distribution of CD40 expression in humans is not completely known. It binds to a ligand (CD40L) which is expressed essentially on activated T cells. The interaction between CD40 and CD40L plays important roles in immune responses. CD40 expression was investigated on bronchial tissues and human bronchial cell lines using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence staining and analysis with a cytometer, respectively. Constitutive CD40 expression, but not that of CD40L, was slightly detectable on normal human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) in situ and on an adult lung adenocarcinoma (SKLU1) cell line, while another cell line, a bronchial transformed SV40 cell line (WI26VA4), was negative for CD40. Among the various cytokines tested, only interferon (IFN)-gamma was found to induce CD40 expression on WI26VA4. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha was the best cytokine able to up-regulate CD40 in SKLU1 cells. A combination of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha was slightly more effective than the cytokine alone at up-regulating CD40 expression on both cell lines. We further investigated the functional consequences of CD40 ligation on both cell lines. These bronchial cells expressed CD40, HLADR and CD54 under basal conditions or when stimulated by cytokines. Stimulation through CD40 did not affect cell-surface-antigen expression on either cell line. The production of cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6 and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) by HBEC has been described. SKLU1 and WI26VA4 cells released IL-6 and GM-CSF spontaneously. Whatever the case, CD40 engagement did not modulate spontaneous or TNF-alpha-induced production of these two cytokines. These data indicate for the first time that normal HBEC express CD40 in situ. Further investigations are required in order to determine the role of CD40 on normal HBEC.

Abstract
We have reported previously that in vitro generated dendritic cells (DC) can directly regulate B cell responses. Recently, germinal center DC (GCDC) were identified within B cell follicles. Due to their particular localization, we have tested in the present study whether GCDC could contribute to key events characteristic of the GC reaction. Our present results demonstrate that 1) ex vivo GCDC induce a dramatic GC B cell expansion upon CD40 and IL-2 activation and drive plasma cell differentiation, 2) this property is shared by GCDC and blood DC, but not by Langerhans cells, 3) IL-12 production by GCDC is critical in GC B cell expansion and differentiation, and 4) importantly, GCDC also induce IL-10-independent isotype switching toward IgG1. These observations support the novel concept that GCDC directly contribute to the germinal center reaction.

Abstract
We have shown previously that in vitro-generated human dendritic cells have an effect on the response of B cells at various stages of their differentiation. In a culture system described for the in vitro induction of plasma-cell differentiation, it was reported that naïve B cells have a poor propensity to differentiate into plasma cells. In such a culture system, 12% of naïve B cells differentiated into plasma cells in the presence of IL-2 and IL-10, despite the interruption of CD40 signalling which is necessary for plasma-cell differentiation. However, as reported herein, naïve B cells differentiated fully into plasma cells in response to dendritic cells. Addition of dendritic cells enhanced this differentiation strikingly by recruiting 57% of B cells as plasma cells producing IgM, but also IgG and IgA. In this model, dendritic cells act in synergy with IL-2 at an early stage of CD40-dependent B-cell differentiation, while IL-2 and IL-10 act together, at a later stage, in the generation of plasma cells in a CD40-independent manner. Thus, in addition to the key role played by dendritic cells in the initiation of T-cell responses, our results suggest that dendritic cells regulate humoral responses.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Paraplegia after repair of coarctation of the aorta is uncommon. CASE REPORT A 2-month-old boy underwent excision of the coarctation area and primary anastomosis because of persistent heart failure. Spastic paraplegia was noted some hours after surgery. Motor deficit partially improved, but bladder dysfunction appeared some months after. Medullary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an ischemia-related narrowing of the medullary diameter. CONCLUSION Paraplegia after repair of coarctation of the aorta, described in adults and infants, is also seen in neonates. Prevention by preoperative monitoring of somatosensory evoked potentials is effective in adults, but difficult to perform in very young children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unlike visceral leishmaniasis, cutaneous leishmaniasis is uncommonly described in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Diffuse cutaneous forms due to Leishmania infantum are always accompanied by visceral parasite infection. CASE REPORT We report a case of cutaneous leishmaniasis without visceral extension which was the inaugural sign of immunodeficiency virus infection. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of the genome was used to identify Leishmania infantum. Pentamidine (2 injections at the dose of 4 mg/kg, separated by one week) followed by maintenance therapy at the same dose every two weeks was given. Clinical cure was obtained after the initial injections and the intracellular parasite infestation had disappeared at the histology control. DISCUSSION This case was unusual in that it was the inaugural sign of HIV infection. In addition, it is the first reported case of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis without visceral extension of Leishmania infantum in an HIV-infected patient. As no therapeutic consensus has been established, pentamidine would appear to be interesting for this population which also requires pneumocystosis prophylaxy.

We recently demonstrated that the engagement of HLA class I alpha1 domain induced Fas-independent apoptosis in human T and B lymphocytes. We analyzed the signaling pathway involved in HLA class I-mediated apoptosis in comparison with Fas (APO-1, CD95)-dependent apoptosis. The mouse mAb90 or the rat YTH862 monoclonal antibodies which bind the human HLA class I alpha1 domain induced the production of ceramide which was blocked by addition of the phosphatidylcholine-dependent phospholipase C inhibitor, D609. Furthermore, HLA class I-mediated apoptosis involved at least two different caspases, an interleukin-1 converting enzyme-like protease and another protease inhibited by the CPP32-like protease inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO. Despite similarity between Fas and HLA class I signaling pathways, we failed to demonstrate any physical association between these two molecules. We also report that the pan-caspase inhibitory peptide zVAD-fmk, but not Ac-DEVD-CHO and Ac-YVAD-CHO, inhibited decrease of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and generation of ceramide induced by anti-HLA class I and anti-Fas monoclonal antibodies, whereas all three peptides efficiently inhibited apoptosis. Altogether these results suggest that signaling through Fas and HLA class I involve caspase(s), targeted by zVAD-fmk, which act upstream of ceramide generation and mitochondrial events, whereas interleukin-1 converting enzyme-like and CPP32-like proteases act downstream of the mitochondria.

Abstract
In response to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor plus tumor necrosis factor alpha, cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells differentiate along two unrelated dendritic cell (DC) pathways: (1) the Langerhans cells (LCs), which are characterized by the expression of CD1a, Birbeck granules, the Lag antigen, and E cadherin; and (2) CD14+ cell-derived DCs, characterized by the expression of CD1a, CD9, CD68, CD2, and factor XIIIa (Caux et al, J Exp Med 184:695, 1996). The present study investigates the functions of each population. Although the two populations are equally potent in stimulating naive CD45RA cord blood T cells through apparently identical mechanisms, each also displays specific activities. In particular CD14-derived DCs show a potent and long-lasting (from day 8 to day 13) antigen uptake activity (fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran or peroxidase) that is about 10-fold higher than that of CD1a+ cells, which is restricted to the immature stage (day 6). The antigen capture is exclusively mediated by receptors for mannose polymers. The high efficiency of antigen capture of CD14-derived cells is coregulated with the expression of nonspecific esterase activity, a tracer of lysosomial compartment. In contrast, the CD1a+ population never expresses nonspecific esterase activity. The most striking difference is the unique capacity of CD14-derived DCs to induce naive B cells to differentiate into IgM-secreting cells, in response to CD40 triggering and interleukin-2. Thus, although the two populations can allow T-cell priming, initiation of humoral responses might be preferentially regulated by the CD14-derived DCs. Altogether, those results show that different pathways of DC development might exist in vivo: (1) the LC type, which might be mainly involved in cellular immune responses, and (2) the CD14-derived DC related to dermal DCs or circulating blood DCs, which could be involved in humoral immune responses.

Abstract
Within T cell-rich areas of secondary lymphoid organs, interdigitating dendritic cells recruit antigen-specific T cells that then induce B cells to secrete Igs. This study investigates the possible role(s) of dendritic cells in the regulation of human B cell responses. In the absence of exogenous cytokines, in vitro generated dendritic cells (referred to as Dendritic Langerhans cells, D-Lc) induced surface IgA expression on approximately 10% of CD40-activated naive sIgD+ B cells. In the presence of IL-10 and TGF-beta, a combination of cytokines previously identified for its capacity to induce IgA switch, D-Lc strongly potentiated the induction of sIgA on CD40-activated naive B cells from 5% to 40-50%. D-Lc alone did not induce the secretion of IgA by CD40-activated naive B cells, which required further addition of IL-10. Furthermore, D-Lc skewed towards the IgA isotype at the expense of IgG, the Ig production of CD40-activated naive B cells cultured in the presence of IL-10 and TGF-beta. Importantly, under these culture conditions, both IgA1 and IgA2 were detected. In the presence of IL-10, secretion of IgA2 by CD40-activated naive B cells could be detected only in response to D-Lc and was further enhanced by TGF-beta. Collectively, these results suggest that in addition to activating T cells in the extrafollicular areas of secondary lymphoid organs, human D-Lc also directly modulate T cell-dependent B cell growth and differentiation, by inducing the IgA isotype switch.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify simple echocardiographic criteria suggesting the presence of coarctation of the aorta in the antenatal period. This was a retrospective cooperative study of 43 cases of foetal echocardiography referred to a paediatric cardiologist for abnormal dimensions of the left cardiac chambers and vessels compared with 102 control foetus. Eighteen (41.8%) had abnormalities of the aortic arch at birth. Thirteen of the 18 (72%) neonates had aortic arch abnormalities when disequilibrium with a small left heart was observed before 25 weeks amenorrhea. The ratio between the right and left ventricular dimensions was abnormally high in foetus with functional disequilibrium similar to the foetus with coarctation: the difference between the two groups was not significant. The ratio of pulmonary artery to aortic dimension was higher in the foetus with coarctation of the aorta than with functional disequilibrium. The difference was significant: p < 0.0001. The diameter of the aortic arch in foetus with a future coarctation was much smaller than the mean of the controls, except in 4 cases. The majority of the foetus without left-sided obstacles at birth had normal aortic arches. An early disequilibrium, a high pulmonary artery/aortic ratio and the small size of the aortic ischmus were the main elements suggestive of abnormalities of the aortic arch, especially in the early prenatal period.

Abstract
A subset of CD4+CD11c-CD3- blood cells was recently shown to develop into dendritic cells when cultured with monocyte conditioned medium. Here, we demonstrate that CD4+ CD11c-CD3- cells, isolated from tonsils, correspond to the so-called plasmacytoid T cells, an obscure cell type that has long been observed by pathologists within secondary lymphoid tissues. They express CD45RA, but not markers specific for known lymphoid- or myeloid-derived cell types. They undergo rapid apoptosis in culture, unless rescued by IL-3. Further addition of CD40-ligand results in their differentiation into dendritic cells that express low levels of myeloid antigens CD13 and CD33.

Abstract
Pneumocystis carinii is an opportunistic pathogen that causes pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. To investigate the genetic diversity of P. carinii populations, multilocus enzyme electrophoresis was used to analyze five enzyme systems (malate dehydrogenase, glucose phosphate isomerase, leucine aminopeptidase, malic enzyme, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase). Only five different multilocus associations (zymodemes) were recorded for the 70 isolates studied. While only one multilocus combination was found in mice and rabbits, three different multilocus associations were recorded in rats. Population genetic tests and phylogenetic analysis strongly suggest that P. carinii genotypes are host-specific, in agreement with molecular study results, and that no genetic exchange occurs between genotypes from different host species. This hypothesis could be verified only by the evolutionary genetic approach, which relies here on multilocus analysis.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates that CD40 is expressed on rheumatoid synovial pannus and primary fibroblast cell lines established from rheumatoid and osteoarthritic synovium as well as normal skin. Among various tested cytokines, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and to a lower extent, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were found to upregulate CD40 expression on fibroblasts. Synovial and skin fibroblasts cultured over CD40 Ligand transfected L cells (L-CD40 L) demonstrate a CD40 specific increase of DNA synthesis as measured by tritiated thymidine incorporation. Cell-cycle analysis and enumeration of viable cells further show that CD40 induced fibroblast proliferation. Costimulation with L-CD40 L and IFN-gamma resulted in maximal proliferation. Engagement of fibroblasts CD40 increased the IL-1-induced production of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha MIP-1 alpha. CD40 L activated fibroblasts showed decreased levels of CD40, but only marginal alterations of other cell-surface antigens. Taken together, the present results indicate that fibroblasts express functional CD40 and suggest a possible role of CD40 L expressing cells, such as activated T cells and mast cells, in the development of synovium hyperplasia.

Abstract
The B cells within the germinal centres of lymphoid organs undergo affinity maturation of their antigen receptors, a critical event for antibody memory. Follicular dendritic cells within the germinal centres retain immune complexes that select the developing B cells for which they have a higher affinity. We have now identified a subset of CD4+ CD11c+ CD3- dendritic cells in the germinal centres. These are strong antigen-presenting cells for T cells, but do not co-stimulate CD40-activated B cells. These dendritic cells probably stimulate germinal centre T cells and aid the complicated processes that are required for the generation of memory B cells.

Abstract
Because activated T cells were previously shown to induce proliferation of human normal B-cell precursors (BCP) via the CD40 pathway, we investigated the effects of T cells on leukemic blasts isolated from patients with B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). An anti-CD3 activated human CD4+ T-cell clone was found to induce significant call proliferation in four of nine BCP-ALL samples analyzed. In one of these cases, the T-cell effect was clearly dependent on interaction between CD40 and its ligand. Accordingly, a more thorough analysis was performed on this particular leukemia (case 461, adult early pre-B-ALL, mBCR+, Philadelphia+, i(9q)+). Thus, autologous CD4+ T cells isolated from the patient were also able to induce CD40-dependent proliferation of the leukemic blasts. Analysis of the phenotype after coculture showed that, among the CD19+ cells, a proportion gradually lost expression of CD10 and CD34, whereas some cells acquired CD23. In addition, and in contrast with normal BCP, activated T cells promoted maturation of a subset of the case 461 leukemic cells into surface IgM+ cells. The leukemic origin of the cycling and the maturing cells was assessed by the presence of i(9q), a chromosomal abnormality associated with this leukemia and evidenced by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Taken together, these results show that leukemic BCP can be activated via CD40 but that not all cases display detectable stimulation in response to T cells despite their expression of CD40. In addition, the present data suggest that CD4+ T cells could potentially play a role in the physiology of BCP-ALL.
