Immunoglobulin-like transcript 3 (ILT3) belongs to a family of inhibitory receptors with cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). Numerous studies have reported that increased ILT3 expression is associated with the tolerogenic properties of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) including dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, human CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HPSCs) were transduced with self-inactivating lentiviral vector carrying the ILT3 gene, and then induced to differentiate into DCs. Long-term and sustained transgene expression were observed. Importantly, DCs differentiated from ILT3-transduced HPSCs expressed high levels of human ILT3 and acquired strong tolerogenic capacity. This effect was associated with markedly decreased expression of co-stimulatory molecules (CD80, CD86) and down-regulation of NF-κB. Functionally, ILT3high DCs showed a reduced capacity to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation and increased the production of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T regulatory cells with immunosuppressive activity. These results demonstrate that DCs derived from ILT3-transduced human CD34+HPSCs display tolerogenic properties to induce T regulatory cells in vitro.
► ILT3 transduced CD34+ HPSCs by LVs, could be induced to dendritic cells.
► These DCs expressed high levels of ILT3, and kept strong tolerogenic properties.
► Down-regulation of NF-κB. was associated with expression of ILT3
► These DCs reduced to stimulate T cells, and enhance inducing regulatory T cells.
