Conventional type 1 dendritic cells in the lymph nodes aggravate neuroinflammation after spinal cord injury by promoting CD8+ T cell expansion by Li-Qing Wang, Xiao-Yi Wang, Yue-Hui Ma, Heng-Jun Zhou

“…Among them, CD103+ cells were derived from the migration of cDC1s in spinal cord tissues, and CD8α+ cDC1s were directionally differentiated from pre-DCs after co-culture with LN-FSCs. Interferon-γ promoted the secretion of Flt3L by LN-FSCs through the activation of JAK/STAT signaling pathway and enhanced the differentiation of pre-DCs into CD8α+ cells. …”
