Abstract
The immune system and the sensory nervous system are responsible for perceiving danger under distinct yet complementary forms. In the last few years, neuroimmune interactions have become an important topic of dermatological research for conditions including wound healing, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. We present here a selection of tridimensional in vitro models that reproduce skin structure and integrate an immune or a sensory function. Future evolutions of such models are expected to greatly contribute in a better understanding of reciprocal influences between sensory nervous system and immune system.

Abstract
In human lung fibrotic lesions, fibroblasts were shown to be closely associated with immature dendritic cell (DC) accumulation. The aim of the present pilot study was to characterize the role of pulmonary fibroblasts on DC phenotype and function, using co-culture of lung fibroblasts from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and from control patients, with a DC cell line MUTZ-3. We observed that co-culture of lung control and IPF fibroblasts with DCs reduced the expression of specific DC markers and down-regulated their T-cell stimulatory activity. This suggests that pulmonary fibroblasts might sustain chronic inflammation in the fibrotic lung by maintaining in situ a pool of immature DCs.

Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2015; 287:35-42.

Abstract
After allergen or irritant exposure, Langerhans cells (LC) undergo phenotypic changes and exit the epidermis. In this study we describe the unique ability of MUTZ-3 derived Langerhans cells (MUTZ-LC) to display similar phenotypic plasticity as their primary counterparts when incorporated into a physiologically relevant full-thickness skin equivalent model (SE-LC). We describe differences and similarities in the mechanisms regulating LC migration and plasticity upon allergen or irritant exposure. The skin equivalent consisted of a reconstructed epidermis containing primary differentiated keratinocytes and CD1a(+) MUTZ-LC on a primary fibroblast-populated dermis. Skin equivalents were exposed to a panel of allergens and irritants. Topical exposure to sub-toxic concentrations of allergens (nickel sulfate, resorcinol, cinnamaldehyde) and irritants (Triton X-100, SDS, Tween 80) resulted in LC migration out of the epidermis and into the dermis. Neutralizing antibody to CXCL12 blocked allergen-induced migration, whereas anti-CCL5 blocked irritant-induced migration. In contrast to allergen exposure, irritant exposure resulted in cells within the dermis becoming CD1a(-)/CD14(+)/CD68(+) which is characteristic of a phenotypic switch of MUTZ-LC to a macrophage-like cell in the dermis. This phenotypic switch was blocked with anti-IL-10. Mechanisms previously identified as being involved in LC activation and migration in native human skin could thus be reproduced in the in vitro constructed skin equivalent model containing functional LC. This model therefore provides a unique and relevant research tool to study human LC biology in situ under controlled in vitro conditions, and will provide a powerful tool for hazard identification, testing novel therapeutics and identifying new drug targets.

Abstract
Although circumcision reduces male acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) by 60%, the initial mechanisms of HIV-1 transmission at the foreskin remain elusive. We have established two novel and complementary models of the human adult foreskin epithelium, namely, ex vivo foreskin explants and in vitro reconstructed immunocompetent foreskins. In these models, efficient HIV-1 transmission occurs after 1 h of polarized exposure of the inner, but not outer, foreskin to mononuclear cells highly infected with HIV-1, but not to cell-free virus. HIV-1-infected cells form viral synapses with apical foreskin keratinocytes, leading to polarized budding of HIV-1, which is rapidly internalized by Langerhans cells (LCs) in the inner foreskin. In turn, LCs migrate toward the epidermis-dermis interface to form conjugates with T cells, thereby transferring HIV-1. Seminal plasma mixed with cervicovaginal secretions inhibits HIV-1 translocation. This set of results rationalizes at the cellular level the apparent protective outcome of circumcision against HIV-1 acquisition by men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Dendritic cells (DCs), which play a critical role during immune response, could present alternative differentiation patterns depending on tissue microenvironment. Our aim was to examine the influence of hepatic microenvironment on human monocyte differentiation into DCs. METHODS Cytology, immunophenotyping, cytokine production and T-cell activation were analyzed in DCs differentiated from human monocytes co-cultured with rat liver epithelial cells (RLEC) or human cells from various tissue origins and compared to control DCs obtained on plastic with GM-CSF/IL-4. RESULTS RLEC environment promotes DC differentiation in the presence of IL-4 without GM-CSF. These DCs evidence similar expression of MHC-II, co-stimulatory and adhesion molecules than control DCs, but distinct lineage markers defining a CD11c+/CD14+/CD123+ DC subset. This phenotype is common to DCs from RLEC and human liver environment and differs from that obtained with skin or intestine environments. Functionally, they produce IL-10 but not IL-12p70 and favor IL-4/IL-10 secretion by T-cells rather than IFN-gamma. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm that tissue niches modulate DC differentiation and demonstrate that hepatic environment influences monocyte differentiation into a DC subset directing Th2 response, a key data for understanding the specialized immune response in liver. They also make RLEC co-culture system useful for studying liver DC functions.

Abstract
The local cytokine environment and the presence of stimulatory signals determine whether monocytes acquire dendritic cell or macrophage characteristics and functions. In this study, we examined the effect of histamine, a prototypic mediator of allergic inflammation, on the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin (IL)-4-driven differentiation of monocytes into monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDC), which typically showed CD1a+CD14- phenotype. Monocytes from healthy adult donors were cultured with GM-CSF and IL-4 in the presence or absence of histamine, and the phenotypes and function of these cells were analyzed. Histamine induced the generation of CD1a-CD14+ cells, which exhibited cytological and phenotypical characteristics of dendritic cells (DC), showed enhanced phagocytic activity and cytokine-producing capacity, but demonstrated weak allo-stimulatory capacity compared with CD1a+CD14- MoDC. The inhibitory effects of histamine on CD1a+CD14- MoDC differentiation were antagonized by cimetidine, an H2 receptor antagonist, but not by H1 and H3 receptor blockers, and were mimicked by an H2 receptor agonist. Culture supernatant of histamine-treated monocytes also inhibited CD1a+CD14- MoDC differentiation, which was restored by the removal of IL-10. These results suggest that histamine-driven CD1a-CD14+ DC amplify their antigen-independent inflammatory reaction and may contribute to the exacerbation of allergic diseases.

Abstract
Leukocytes of the macrophage lineage are abundant in the ovarian tissues and have an important function in both follicular development and regression of postovulatory follicles. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that continuous production of macrophages in the ovarian stroma is maintained by a resident population of progenitors. We established a long-term culture of ovarian follicular stromal cells from BALB/c and green fluorescent protein-transgenic (GFP-TG) C57BL/6 mice. Nonadherent cells were collected and tested for hematopoietic function in vitro and in vivo. Histological and ultrastructural analyses revealed a homogenous population of monocyte-like rounded cells. Nonadherent cells continued to proliferate in culture for several months without senescence. When plated at very low density in methylcellulose, these cells formed colonies consisting of monocyte-like cells. Ovarian monocyte-like cells reacted with CD45, CD11b, CD11c, and Ly6-Gr-1 cell surface markers. A distinct CD45low population within these cells reacted with CD117 (C-kit) surface marker, suggestive of a primitive hematopoietic progenitor. Fifty thousand nonadherent cells failed to provide radioprotection to lethally irradiated mice and thus were not considered to be equivalent to pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells. Ovarian nonadherent stromal cells were positive for alkaline phosphatase but lacked embryonic cell antigens stage-specific embryonic antigen (SSEA-1) and Oct-4. We conclude that in the ovaries, a higher requirement for macrophages is provided by a resident stromal population of progenitors whose progeny is restricted to the production of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage.

Abstract
Alternatively activated macrophages (Mphi2) are induced by Th2 cytokines and by glucocorticoids (GC), and can be distinguished from classically activated effector macrophages (Mphi1) on the basis of their anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, Mphi2 are involved in Th2/Th1 skewing, enhance antigen uptake and processing and support tissue remodelling and healing. In order to elucidate the heterogeneity of Mphi2 population systematically, we analysed a number of genes involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, inflammation and phagocytosis in Mphi2 populations generated with interleukin-4 (IL-4) or GC. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction, we demonstrated that the ECM component, tenascin-C, is stimulated by IL-4, whereas it is suppressed by dexamethasone. The ECM remodelling enzymes--MMP-1 and MMP-12--and tissue transglutaminase (TG) showed a similar regulation pattern. FXIIIa, another putative Mphi2-associated TG, was synergistically regulated by IL-4 and GC. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis revealed that the production of Mphi2-associated chemokines, AMAC-1, MCP-4 or TARC, was induced by IL-4 and was modulated by GC. Phagocytosis of opsonized and non-opsonized particles was stimulated by GC, whereas IL-4 had only a modulatory effect, what may be partially explained by the expression pattern of hMARCO, a scavenger receptor for non-opsonized particles, that was strongly and selectively induced by GC. In conclusion, stimulation of Mphi with IL-4 and GC regulate antagonistically the expression of ECM remodelling-related molecules and phagocytosis of opsonized and non-opsonized particles.

Abstract
Many potential targets of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reside in the human reproductive tract, including dendritic cells (DC). The ability of these cells to replicate HIV-1 is dependent on many factors such as their differentiation/maturation stage. Nevertheless, precise mechanisms underlying the early steps of transmucosal infection are still unknown. Our purpose was to investigate DC/HIV-1 interactions in a subepithelial mucosal layer equivalent (SEMLE) reconstructed in vitro. We used mixed interstitial DC (IntDC)/Langerhans cell (LC)-like cell subpopulations generated in vitro from CD34(+) progenitors. These cells were either integrated in SEMLE or maintained in suspension. Experimental infections were performed with a type X4 strain (HIV-1(LAI)) and a type R5 strain (HIV-1(Ba-L)). Proviral DNA was detected by in situ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and viral replication was quantified by measuring p24 core protein release in the culture media. Our results showed that SEMLE enable DC to retain immature stage and reproduce the tropic selection that occurs in vivo. Indeed, IntDC/LC were infected by both types of HIV-1 strains, regardless of the infection schedule, whereas only type R5 virus replicated in DC in the absence of T cell subsets. Furthermore, the ability of DC to replicate HIV-1(BaL) was lost after 14 days of culture unless the cells had previously been integrated in SEMLE. These results suggest that this 3D model maintains the ability of DC to replicate type R5 virus by delaying their maturation. In conclusion, this in vitro model mimics human submucosa and can be considered as relevant for studying the preliminary steps of transmucosal HIV-1 infection.

Abstract
Dermal fibroblasts are a dynamic and diverse population of cells whose functions in skin in many respects remain unknown. Normal adult human skin contains at least three distinct subpopulations of fibroblasts, which occupy unique niches in the dermis. Fibroblasts from each of these niches exhibit distinctive differences when cultured separately. Specific differences in fibroblast physiology are evident in papillary dermal fibroblasts, which reside in the superficial dermis, and reticular fibroblasts, which reside in the deep dermis. Both of these subpopulations of fibroblasts differ from the fibroblasts that are associated with hair follicles. Fibroblasts engage in fibroblast-epidermal interactions during hair development and in interfollicular regions of skin. They also play an important role in cutaneous wound repair and an ever-increasing role in bioengineering of skin. Bioengineered skin currently performs important roles in providing (1) a basic understanding of skin biology, (2) a vehicle for testing topically applied products and (3) a resource for skin replacement.

Abstract
To elucidate the scientific state of the art with respect to the role of nutrition in skin ageing, nine experts from different disciplines discussed the role of micronutrients on 'oxidative and premature skin ageing'. In this 25th Hohenheim Consensus Meeting, 13 questions were discussed and, based on published valid data, answered by mutual agreement. The consensus answers achieved during the meeting are justified by a scientific background text. The importance of in vitro and in vivo models regarding oxidative and premature skin ageing was critically evaluated. There was a special focus on prevention and intervention of skin ageing with nutrition. Finally, the paper summarizes the scientific background from different areas related to oxidative and premature skin ageing.
