ABSTRACT
Soluble CD83 (sCD83) exerts immunosuppressive functions in many autoimmune diseases, including experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU), but the cells and mechanisms involved are unclear. This study showed that CD83+ B cells were the main sources of sCD83. They alleviated the symptoms of EAU and decreased the percentage of T cells and DCs in the eyes and lymph nodes. These CD83+ B cells decreased IL-1ß, IL-18 and IFN-γ secretion by DCs through sCD83. sCD83 interacted with GTPase Ras-related protein (Rab1a) in DCs to promote Rab1a accumulation in autolysosomes and inhibit mTORC1 phosphorylation and NLRP3 expression. Hence, CD83+ B cells play a regulatory role in EAU by secreting sCD83. The lack of regulation of CD83+ B cells might be an important factor leading to hyperimmune activation in patients with autoimmune uveitis. CD83+ B cells suppress activated DCs in uveitis, indicating the potential therapeutic role of CD83+ B cells in uveitis.

Macrophages (MΦ) are remarkably plastic cells, which assume phenotypes in every shade between a pro-inflammatory classical activation, and anti-inflammatory or resolving activation. Therefore, elucidation of mechanisms involved in shaping MΦ plasticity and function is key to understand their role during immunological balance. The immune-modulating CD83 molecule is expressed on activated immune cells and various tissue resident MΦ, rendering it an interesting candidate for affecting MΦ biology. However, in-depth analyses of the precise kinetics and trafficking of CD83 within pro-inflammatory, LPS activated bone-marrow-derived MΦ have not been performed. In this study, we show that activation with LPS leads to a very fast and strong, but transient increase of CD83 expression on these cells. Its expression peaks within 2 h of stimulation and is thereby faster than the early activation antigen CD69. To trace the CD83 trafficking through MΦs, we employed multiple inhibitors, thereby revealing a de novo synthesis and transport of the protein to the cell surface followed by lysosomal degradation, all within 6 h. Moreover, we found a similar expression kinetic and trafficking in human monocyte derived MΦ. This places CD83 at a very early point of MΦ activation suggesting an important role in decisions regarding the subsequent cellular fate.

Influenza A viruses cause severe respiratory illnesses in humans and animals. Overreaction of the innate immune response to influenza virus infection results in hypercytokinemia, which is responsible for mortality and morbidity. The influenza A virus surface glycoprotein neuraminidase (NA) plays a vital role in viral attachment, entry, and virion release from infected cells. NA acts as a sialidase, which cleaves sialic acids from cell surface proteins and carbohydrate side chains on nascent virions. Here, we review progress in understanding the role of NA in modulating host immune response to influenza virus infection. We also discuss recent exciting findings targeting NA protein to interrupt influenza-induced immune injury.

Osimertinib (OSI), a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), efficiently benefits lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. However, combined OSI and immune checkpoint inhibitor in EGFR-mutant patients increases the incidence of interstitial lung disease (ILD), although the mechanism is unknown. Here, we investigated the interaction between dendritic cells (DCs), a potential critical player in ILD, and OSI. Seventeen LUAD patients received TKI therapy, and only the OSI therapy group (N = 10) showed a significant increase in CD40 and CD83 on immature DCs (iDCs), and an elevated trend for both markers on mature DCs (mDCs) during short- and long-term OSI therapy. Our results indicated that OSI therapy may potentially activate DC functions, which might increase the potential immune toxicity when combined with onco-immunotherapy.

Activating the immune system plays an important role in maintaining physiological homeostasis and defending the body against harmful infections. However, abnormalities in the immune response can lead to various immunopathological responses and severe inflammation. The activation of dendritic cells (DCs) can influence immunological responses by promoting the differentiation of T cells into various functional subtypes crucial for the eradication of pathogens. CD83 is a molecule known to be expressed on mature DCs, activated B cells, and T cells. Two isotypes of CD83, a membrane-bound form and a soluble form, are subjects of extensive scientific research. It has been suggested that CD83 is not only a ubiquitous co-stimulatory molecule but also a crucial player in monitoring and resolving inflammatory reactions. Although CD83 has been involved in immunological responses, its functions in autoimmune diseases and effects on pathogen immune evasion remain unclear. Herein, we outline current immunological findings and the proposed function of CD83 in inflammatory disorders.

Immune responses reflect a complex interplay of cellular and extracellular components which define the microenvironment of a tissue. Therefore, factors that locally influence the microenvironment and re-establish tolerance might be beneficial to mitigate immune-mediated reactions, including the rejection of a transplant. In this study, we demonstrate that pre-incubation of donor tissue with the immune modulator soluble CD83 (sCD83) significantly improves graft survival using a high-risk corneal transplantation model. The induction of tolerogenic mechanisms in graft recipients was achieved by a significant upregulation of Tgfb, Foxp3, Il27, and Il10 in the transplant and an increase of regulatory dendritic cells (DCs), macrophages (Mφ), and T cells (Tregs) in eye-draining lymph nodes. The presence of sCD83 during in vitro DC and Mφ generation directed these cells toward a tolerogenic phenotype leading to reduced proliferation-stimulating activity in MLRs. Mechanistically, sCD83 induced a tolerogenic Mφ and DC phenotype, which favors Treg induction and significantly increased transplant survival after adoptive cell transfer. Conclusively, pre-incubation of corneal grafts with sCD83 significantly prolongs graft survival by modulating recipient Mφ and DCs toward tolerance and thereby establishing a tolerogenic microenvironment. This functional strategy of donor graft pre-treatment paves the way for new therapeutic options in the field of transplantation.

Influenza A viruses cause severe respiratory illnesses in humans and animals. Overreaction of the innate immune response to influenza virus infection results in hypercytokinemia, which is responsible for mortality and morbidity. However, the mechanism by which influenza induces hypercytokinemia is not fully understood. In this study, we established a mouse-adapted H9N2 virus, MA01, to evaluate the innate immune response to influenza in the lung. MA01 infection caused high levels of cytokine release, enhanced pulmonary injury in mice, and upregulated CD83 protein in dendritic cells and macrophages in the lung. Influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) unmasked CD83 protein and contributed to high cytokine levels. Furthermore, we provide evidence that CD83 is a sialylated glycoprotein. Neuraminidase treatment enhanced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated NF-κB activation in RAW264.7 cells. Anti-CD83 treatment alleviated influenza virus-induced lung injury in mice. Our study indicates that influenza virus neuraminidase modulates CD83 status and contributes to the "cytokine storm," which may suggest a new approach to curb this immune injury.IMPORTANCE The massive release of circulating mediators of inflammation is responsible for lung injury during influenza A virus infection. This phenomenon is referred to as the "cytokine storm." However, the mechanism by which influenza induces the cytokine storm is not fully understood. In this study, we have shown that neuraminidase unmasked CD83 protein in the lung and contributed to high cytokine levels. Anti-CD83 treatment could diminish immune damage to lung tissue. The NA-CD83 axis may represent a target for an interruption of influenza-induced lung damage.

Chronic inflammatory diseases and transplant rejection represent major challenges for modern health care. Thus, identification of immune checkpoints that contribute to resolution of inflammation is key to developing novel therapeutic agents for those conditions. In recent years, the CD83 (cluster of differentiation 83) protein has emerged as an interesting potential candidate for such a "pro-resolution" therapy. This molecule occurs in a membrane-bound and a soluble isoform (mCD83 and sCD83, respectively), both of which are involved in resolution of inflammation. Originally described as a maturation marker on dendritic cells (DCs), mCD83 is also expressed by activated B and T cells as well as regulatory T cells (Tregs) and controls turnover of MHC II molecules in the thymus, and thereby positive selection of CD4+ T cells. Additionally, it serves to confine overshooting (auto-)immune responses. Consequently, animals with a conditional deletion of CD83 in DCs or regulatory T cells suffer from impaired resolution of inflammation. Pro-resolving effects of sCD83 became evident in pre-clinical autoimmune and transplantation models, where application of sCD83 reduced disease symptoms and enhanced allograft survival, respectively. Here, we summarize recent advances regarding CD83-mediated resolution of inflammatory responses, its binding partners as well as induced signaling pathways, and emphasize its therapeutic potential for future clinical trials.

The mechanism of generation of regulatory T cells (Treg) remains incompletely understood. Recent studies show that CD83 has immune regulatory functions. This study aims to investigate the role of epithelial cell-derived CD83 in the restoration of immune tolerance in the airway mucosa by inducing the Treg differentiation. In this study, CD83 and ovalbumin (OVA)-carrying exosomes were generated from airway epithelial cells. An airway allergy mouse model was developed to test the role of CD83/OVA-carrying exosomes in the suppression of airway allergy by inducing Treg generation. We observed that mouse airway epithelial cells expressed CD83 that could be up-regulated by CD40 ligand. The CD83 deficiency in epithelial cells retarded the Treg generation in the airway mucosa. CD83 up-regulated transforming growth factor-ß-inducible early gene 1 expression in CD4+ T cells to promote Foxp3 expression. Exposure of primed CD4+ T cells to CD83/OVA-carrying exosomes promoted antigen-specific Treg generation. Administration of CD83/OVA-carrying exosomes inhibited experimental airway allergic response. In summary, airway epithelial cells express CD83 that is required in the Treg differentiation in the airway mucosa. Administration of CD83/OVA-carrying exosomes can inhibit airway allergy that has the translation potential in the treatment of airway allergic disorders.

BACKGROUND: CD83 is known to regulate lymphocyte maturation, activation, homeostasis, and antibody response to immunization and infection. While CD83 has a major part in B cell function, its role in influenza A virus infection has not yet been investigated. METHODS: We investigated the role of CD83 using C57BL/6J wild type mice and CD83 knockout (KO) mice after intraperitoneal administration of the influenza A/WSN/1933 virus. We analyzed cells of the peritoneal cavity, splenocytes, and cells of the bone marrow with FACS to investigate CD83 expression and cell population change in response to the virus infection. ELISA was performed with sera and peritoneal cavity fluids to detect A/WSN/1933 virus-specific IgG and the subclasses of IgG. RESULTS: FACS analysis data showed a transient but distinct induction of CD83 expression in the peritoneal B cells of wild type mice. CD83 KO mice exhibited a delayed recovery of B cells in the bone marrow after influenza virus infection and overall, a smaller T cell population compared to wild type mice. The peritoneal cavity and serum of the wild type mice contained a high titer of IgG within 14 days after infection, whereas the CD83 KO mice had a very low titer of IgG. CONCLUSIONS: These results show the importance of CD83 in lymphocytes homeostasis and antibody production during influenza A virus infection.

Dendritic cells (DCs) have a strong ability to stimulate naive T lymphocyte proliferation, so DCs play an important regulatory role in the initiation of the specific immune response. DCs cannot play the role of antigen presentation without the expression of surface molecules. The chemokine receptor CCR7 and the costimulatory molecules CD80/86 and CD83 are not only markers of DC maturation but also important functional molecules in the immune response of DC-T cells. In this study, partial cDNA sequences of CCR7, CD80/86 and CD83 were obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology from yellow catfish. Bioinformatics analysis of deduced amino acid sequences of these three genes showed that CCR7, CD80/86 and CD83 genes in yellow catfish have similar functional domains to the homologs in other vertebrates, which indicated that the functions of these genes may be somewhat conserved during the evolution process. Afterward, the expression characteristics of these three genes in different tissues were detected by q-PCR. This result indicated that CCR7, CD80/86 and CD83 were expressed in all examined tissues, and the highest expression levels of CCR7 and CD80/86 and CD83 were detected in the trunk kidney, muscle and midgut, respectively. Meanwhile, the expression levels of CCR7 and CD80/86 were lowest in the gill, and the expression of CD83 was lowest in the stomach. Finally, healthy yellow catfish were infected with A.hydrophila (1.0 × 107 CFU/mL) or E.ictaluri (1.0 × 106 CFU/mL), q-PCR results indicated that both pathogenic bacteria can induce significant upregulation of CCR7, CD80/86 and CD83 in immune organs, and the expression levels of these genes in the intestine were higher than those in the skin and gill. Our results in this study provide a molecular basis for exploring the role of CCR7, CD80/86 and CD83 in the immune responses induced by bacteria, and can help us to understand the difference of immune responses induced by extracellular and intracellular bacteria.

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) and classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) are the most common large cell lymphomas arising in the mediastinum and are thought to be closely related histogenetically. Although the distinction between PMBL and CHL is usually straightforward, in some cases it is challenging and rarely these neoplasms have intermediate features and qualify for the diagnosis of mediastinal gray zone lymphoma (GZL). CD83 and fascin are markers of CHL and CD23 is a marker of PMBL. In this study we assess the utility of this combination of these immunohistochemical markers to distinguish CHL from PMBL. We retrospectively collected cases of PMBL, CHL and GZL from three centers. Tissue sections were stained with CD83, fascin and CD23. CD83 was expressed in the neoplastic cells of 100% of CHL (22/22), 93% of GZL (16/18) and 41% of PMBL (9/22). Similarly, fascin was positive in the neoplastic cells of 100% of CHL (22/22), 86% of GZL (18/21) and 32% of PMBL (7/22). CD23 was positive in 95% of PMBL (21/22), 67% of GZL (12/18) and 9% of CHL (2/22). CD83 and fascin are sensitive markers for CHL but not specific whereas CD23 is sensitive for PMBL and uncommon in CHL. The GZL cases in this study had an intermediate immunophenotype, but the results were closer to CHL than PMBL. A large panel of immunohistochemical studies is recommended to distinguish CHL from PMBL entities and we suggest that CD83, fascin and CD23 add value to panels designed for this differential diagnosis.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), is a panzootic disease that is one of the most economically costly diseases to the swine industry. A key aspect of PRRSV virulence is that the virus suppresses the innate immune response and induces persistent infection, although the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The dendritic cell (DC) marker CD83 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and is associated with DC activation and immunosuppression of T cell proliferation when expressed as soluble CD83 (sCD83). In this study, we show that PRRSV infection strongly stimulates CD83 expression in porcine monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) and that the nucleocapsid (N) protein and nonstructural protein 10 (nsp10) of PRRSV enhance CD83 promoter activity via the NF-κB and Sp1 signaling pathways. R43A and K44A amino acid substitution mutants of the N protein suppress the N protein-mediated increase of CD83 promoter activity. Similarly, P192-5A and G214-3A mutants of nsp10 (with 5 and 3 alanine substitutions beginning at residues P192 and G214, respectively) abolish the nsp10-mediated induction of the CD83 promoter. Using reverse genetics, four mutant viruses (rR43A, rK44A, rP192-5A, and rG214-3A) and four revertants [rR43A(R), rK44A(R), rP192-5A(R), and rG214-3A(R)] were generated. Decreased induction of CD83 in MoDCs was observed after infection by mutants rR43A, rK44A, rP192-5A, and rG214-3A, in contrast to the results obtained using rR43A(R), rK44A(R), rP192-5A(R), and rG214-3A(R). These findings suggest that PRRSV N and nsp10 play important roles in modulating CD83 signaling and shed light on the mechanism by which PRRSV modulates host immunity.IMPORTANCE Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most economically costly pathogens affecting the swine industry. It is unclear how PRRSV inhibits the host's immune response and induces persistent infection. The dendritic cell (DC) marker CD83 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and has previously been associated with DC activation and immunosuppression of T cell proliferation and differentiation when expressed as soluble CD83 (sCD83). In this study, we found that PRRSV infection induces sCD83 expression in porcine MoDCs via the NF-κB and Sp1 signaling pathways. The viral nucleocapsid protein, nonstructural protein 1 (nsp1), and nsp10 were shown to enhance CD83 promoter activity. Amino acids R43 and K44 of the N protein, as well as residues 192 to 196 (P192-5) and 214 to 216 (G214-3) of nsp10, play important roles in CD83 promoter activation. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of immune suppression by PRRSV.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease which may lead to severe disabilities due to structural joint damage and extraarticular manifestations The dendritic cell marker CD83 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and has previously been associated with autoimmune diseases. In RA the levels of soluble CD83 (sCD83) are elevated in synovial fluid, however little is known about CD83 expression and regulation in RA. Therefore, we studied how CD83 is expressed in RA and further evaluated the effect of anti-TNF-α therapy hereon. Early RA patients were randomized to conventional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs with or without additional anti-TNF-α therapy. Rheumatoid arthritis patients had increased levels of sCD83 in plasma compared with healthy volunteers. The increase in sCD83 plasma levels were unaffected by anti-TNF-α therapy. In chronic RA patients the levels of sCD83 were higher in synovial fluid than in plasma, and only a limited amount of membrane bound CD83 expression was detected on the surface of cells from peripheral blood and synovial fluid. Finally, confocal microscopy of RA synovial membranes revealed that CD83 was mainly localized intracellularly in a group of cells with diverse morphology including both antigen-presenting cells and non-antigen-presenting cells. Our findings demonstrate that early-stage RA patients have elevated levels of sCD83 in plasma and that anti-TNF-α treatment has no effect on the sCD83 plasma level. This suggest that in RA patients sCD83 regulation is beyond control of TNF-α.

Co-stimulatory molecules (CD83, CD80 and CD86), belong to immunoglobulin superfamily, are type I membrane glycoprotein, which express on antigen presenting cells and provide the second signal for the activation of T lymphocytes. In the present study, we cloned the grouper's CD83 (675 bp) and CD80/86 (876 bp). Homology analysis showed that both EcCD83 and EcCD80/86 shares the highest amino acid similarity (51% and 47%) for the overall sequence with puffer fish (Takifugu rubripes). Some conserved features and important functional residues in mammalian CD83, CD80 and CD86 were also identified from these molecules of teleosts including grouper, suggesting the function of both molecules may be conserved among vertebrates. In transfected HEK293T cells, both molecules localized on the membrane surface. Tissue distribution analysis showed both EcCD83 and EcCD80/86 mRNAs were mainly expressed in immune organs, and EcCD80/86 was extremely higher expressed in mucosal immune tissues including skin and gill than systematic immune organs, which indicates these co-stimulatory molecules may prime T cell activation in local mucosal tissues. In Cryptocaryon irritans infected groupers, the expression level of EcCD83 and EcCD80/86 were both seen significant up-regulation in the skin at most tested time points.

BACKGROUND: Actinic cheilitis (AC) is a potentially malignant lesion diagnosed in the lip of patients chronically exposed to the sun that may give rise to a fully invasive lower lip squamous cell carcinoma (LLSCC). It is known that ultraviolet radiation causes dendritic cells (DCs) depletion in the epidermis, but the role of this cellular population in lip cancer progression remains uncertain. Therefore, this study investigated the distribution of DCs in normal, dysplastic and neoplastic tissues of the lower lip. METHODS: Thirteen cases of lower lip mucocele, 42 of ACs and 21 of LLSCC were retrieved and original diagnoses confirmed by two oral pathologists, who further classified ACs as low- and high-risk lesions. Immunoreactions against CD1a and CD83 identified immature and mature DCs, respectively. RESULTS: Immature CD1a+ Langerhans cells (LCs) were significantly decreased in LLSCC when compared to morphologically normal (P < 0.009) and dysplastic epitheliums (P < 0.003), whereas mature CD83+ LCs were significantly decreased in LLSCC when compared to normal epithelium (P = 0.038). There was no significant difference between low- and high-risk ACs regarding CD1a+ and CD83+ LCs (P > 0.05), but ACs demonstrated a lower concentration of CD1a+ LCs than normal epithelium (P < 0.009). There was no significant difference in the distribution of CD1a+ and CD83+ interstitial dendritic cells (IDCs) in the connective tissue among the studied groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that depletion of epithelial LCs, but not IDCs in the connective tissue, would represent an important step for lip cancer development.

CD83 is one of the best known surface markers for mature human dendritic cells (DCs). The full-length 45 kDa type-I membrane-bound form (mbCD83) is strongly glycosylated upon DCs maturation. As co-stimulatory properties of CD83 are attributed to mbCD83 surface expression is required for efficient T-cell stimulation by mature DCs. By yeast two-hybrid screening, we were able to identify GRASP55 as interaction partner of CD83. DCs maturation induces endogenous CD83 protein expression with simultaneous regulation of CD83 glycosylation, interaction and co-localization with GRASP55 and CD83 surface exposure. GRASP55 is especially known for its role in maintaining Golgi architecture, but also plays a role in Golgi transport of specific cargo proteins bearing a C-terminal valine residue. Here we additionally demonstrate that binding of CD83 and GRASP55 rely on the C-terminal TELV-motif of CD83. Mutation of this TELV-motif not only disrupted binding to GRASP55, but also altered the glycosylation pattern of CD83 and reduced its membrane expression. Here we show for the first time that GRASP55 interacts with CD83 shortly after induction of DC maturation and that this interaction plays a role in CD83 glycosylation as well as in surface expression of CD83 on DCs.

Human CD83 is type I transmembrane glycoprotein, mainly expressed on mature dendritic cells (DCs), so it was first described as a molecular marker for mature DC. However, increasing evidence has demonstrated that CD83 is also an immunomodulatory molecule either its membrane-bound CD83 (mCD83) or soluble CD83 (sCD83) released from DCs. Intriguingly, the mCD83 possesses stimulatory effects on immune response, on the contrary, the sCD83 has inhibitory effects. Whether the sCD83 has the inhibitory effects on human monocyte differentiation into DCs is unknown. To this end, we prepared the recombinant human sCD83 in HEK293T cells and treated human monocytes being differentiated into DCs in vitro with the sCD83, and evaluate sCD83 inhibitory effects on immune response by analyzing the surface marker pattern of the cells. The results showed that the sCD83, especially glycosylated sCD83 could bind the monocytes and significantly inhibited the depression of CD14 expressions (P<0.01) and reduced CD1a, CD80, CD86 and MHC II expressions (P<0.01 or P<0.05) during the differentiation, indicating that the sCD83 can inhibit monocyte differentiation into DCs, and suggesting that a negative feedback regulation may exist in monocyte differentiation into DCs based on sCD83 released from the mature DCs.

Transgenic over-expression of CD83 on B cells leads to a reduced response to BCR engagement but to an enhanced secretion of IL-10 upon LPS stimulation. In this study, we analyzed the differential influence of CD83 on the stimulation of different B cell subsets via the BCR or TLR4. Neither wild type nor CD83 transgenic (CD83tg) B cells produced any IL-10 in response to BCR stimulation. BCR engagement led to reduced activation of LYN, SYK and ERK1/2 resulting in reduced numbers of proliferating cells in all CD83tg B cell subsets. Moreover, CD83tg follicular (FO) but not marginal zone (MZ) or transitional (TN) B cells showed significantly enhanced cell death. In contrast, LPS stimulation led to normal frequencies of proliferating CD83tg FO, MZ and TN B cells although TLR4 engagement did not rescue FO B cells from apoptosis. Furthermore, LPS stimulation led to high IL-10 production derived from CD83tg MZ B cells that reacted to LPS stimulation with enhanced ERK1/2 activation. Finally, we show that CD83 co-localizes with the BCR complex as well as with the LPS receptor complex suggesting that CD83 interacts with components of both signaling complexes. Taken together, the results of this study show that CD83 already inhibits the initiation of BCR signaling leading to insufficient activation signals in all B cells and reduced survival especially of FO B cells. On the other hand, CD83 supports TLR4-mediated IL-10 release exclusively in MZ B cells. Thus, CD83 differentially modulates FO and MZ B cell responses.

CD83 is a costimulatory molecule of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that plays an important role in eliciting adaptive responses. It is also a well-known surface protein on mature dendritic cells (DCs). Furthermore, monocytes have been reported to differentiate into macrophages and monocyte-derived dendritic cells, which play an important role in innate immunity. CD83 expression affects the activation and maturation of DCs and stimulates cell-mediated immune responses. This study aims to reveal the CD83 expression during monocyte differentiation in teleosts, and the CD83 homologs evolutionary relationship. This study found two distinct CD83 homologs (GbCD83 and GbCD83-L) in ginbuna crucian carp (Gb) and investigated the evolutionary relationship among GbCD83 homologs and other vertebrates and the gene and protein expression levels of the homologs during 4 days of monocyte culture. The phylogenetic tree showed that the two GbCD83 homologs are classified into two distinct branches. Interestingly, only ostariophysians (Gb, common carp, rohu, fathead minnow and channel catfish), but not neoteleosts, mammals, and others, have two CD83 homologs. Morphological observation and colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R), CD83, CD80/86, and CCR7 gene expressions illustrated that there is a differentiation of monocytes isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes after 4 days. Specifically, gene expression and immunocytochemistry revealed that GbCD83 is mainly expressed on monocytes at the early stage of cell culture, whereas GbCD83-L is expressed in the latter stage. These findings provided the first evidence of differential expression of CD83 homologs during monocytes differentiation in teleost.
