Differential involvement of PU.1 and Id2 downstream of TGF-β1 during Langerhans-cell commitment
14 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Langerhans cells (LCs) are highly abundant dendritic cells (DCs) in epidermal and mucosal tissues. The transcription factors PU.1 and Id2 have been implicated as positive regulators of LC development from hematopoietic progenitor cells. LC differentiation from progenitors is absolutely dependent on transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta1) in vitro as well as in vivo; however, downstream mechanisms are poorly...
