Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of interleukin-37 (IL-37) on the motility and migration of mouse splenic dendritic cells (DCs).

Methods: Magnetic bead cell sorting was used to isolate mouse splenic DCs, and flow cytometry was used to analyze the purity. DCs were visualized in real time by PerkinElmer laser confocal microscopy and analyzed by Volocity image analysis software. The alteration of chemokine (C motif) receptor 1 (XCR1) mRNA was revealed by microarray analysis and confirmed by real-time PCR and flow cytometry. Migration ability of DCs was detected by Transwell(TM) migration assay.

Results: The purity of isolated DCs was over 95%. The treatment of IL-37 reduced the velocity of DCs mobility, decreased XCR1 expression and depressed the cell migration ability.

Conclusion: IL-37 can inhibit the motility and migration of mouse splenic DCs.
