Abstract

The identification of intestinal macrophages (mφs) and dendritic cells (DCs) is a matter of intense debate. Although CD103<sup>+</sup> mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) appear to be genuine DCs, the nature and origins of CD103<sup>−</sup> MPs remain controversial. We show here that intestinal CD103<sup>−</sup>CD11b<sup>+</sup> MPs can be separated clearly into DCs and mφs based on phenotype, gene profile, and kinetics. CD64<sup>−</sup>CD103<sup>−</sup>CD11b<sup>+</sup> MPs are classical DCs, being derived from Flt3 ligand-dependent, DC-committed precursors, not Ly6C<sup>hi</sup> monocytes. Surprisingly, a significant proportion of these CD103<sup>−</sup>CD11b<sup>+</sup> DCs express CCR2 and there is a selective decrease in CD103<sup>−</sup>CD11b<sup>+</sup> DCs in mice lacking this chemokine receptor. CCR2<sup>+</sup>CD103<sup>−</sup> DCs are present in both the murine and human intestine, drive interleukin (IL)-17a production by T cells <i>in vitro</i>, and show constitutive expression of IL-12/IL-23p40. These data highlight the heterogeneity of intestinal DCs and reveal a <i>bona fide</i> population of CCR2<sup>+</sup>DCs that is involved in priming mucosal T helper type 17 (Th17) responses.
