Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) has long been associated with conventional dendritic cell type I (cDC1) development. In a recent study, Lança et al. demonstrate that IRF8 is also crucial in cells already committed to the cDC1 lineage. Here, deletion of IRF8 from the XCR1-expressing pre-cDC1 stage onward leads to a loss of commitment and reprogramming of the cells toward a cDC2-like phenotype.
干扰素调节因子 8(IRF8)长期以来一直与传统的树突状细胞 I 型(cDC1)的发育有关。在最近的一项研究中,Lança 等人证明,IRF8 对于已经定向到 cDC1 谱系的细胞也至关重要。在这里,从表达 XCR1 的 pre-cDC1 阶段开始,IRF8 的缺失会导致细胞的定向丧失和重编程,向 cDC2 样表型发展。
