Heat map showing the differential expression of genes in the IgA CSR pathway. Colors correspond to significant fold change expression. Red, high expression; blue, low expression. (B) qRT-PCR of mRNA isolated from flow-sorted LDC CD103 + , LDC CD24 + , LMφ CD64 + , and SpDC, respectively. The expression of Integrin β8 mRNA was normalized to actin and expressed in relative units.

    Induction of integrin α4β7 by lung DCs requires RA and TGF-β signaling. (A) Demonstration of ALDH activity in lung-derived DCs using flow cytometry. The MFI of a fluorescent ALDH substrate was quantified for lung DCs in the presence (top two curves) or absence (middle two curves) of the ALDH inhibitor-DEAB. MLN CD103 + DCs and splenic CD8α + DCs served as the positive and negative controls, respectively (bottom two curves). (B and C) CD11c + DCs isolated from the lung and MLN were pulsed with OVA and cultured with CFSE-labeled OT-II T cells at a ratio of 1:2 for 5–7 d. RAR-β inhibitor, <t>LE540</t> (1 µM), or DMSO control is added to the DC/OT-II cultures. (B) Representative flow cytometry plots comparing the expression of α4β7 on CD4 + OT-II cells with and without RAR-β antagonist LE-540.
