ABSTRACT
Dendritic cells form clusters in vivo, but the mechanism behind this has not been determined. In this article, we demonstrate that monocytes from mice deficient in the chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, and CCR5 display reduced clustering in vitro, which is associated with impaired dendritic cell and macrophage differentiation. We further show that the differentiating cells themselves produce ligands for these receptors that function, in a redundant manner, to regulate cell clustering. Deletion of, or pharmacological blockade of, more than one of these receptors is required to impair clustering and differentiation. Our data show that chemokines and their receptors support clustering by increasing expression of, and activating, cell-surface integrins, which are associated with cell-cell interactions and, in the context of monocyte differentiation, with reduced expression of Foxp1, a known transcriptional suppressor of monocyte differentiation. Our data therefore provide a mechanism whereby chemokines and their receptors typically found in inflammatory environments can interact to promote murine monocyte differentiation to macrophages and dendritic cells.
