Intranasal administration of regulatory dendritic cells is useful for the induction of nasal mucosal tolerance in a mice model of allergic rhinitis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Intranasally administered dendritic cells (DCs) migrate into blood and thymus to induce immune responses. Regulatory dendritic cells (DCs) are also useful agents for allergy control. However, to the best of our knowledge, the effects of intranasal administration of regulatory DCs on allergy have not been reported until now. Therefore, we examined the effects of intranasal route of administration of CD40-silenced DCs on allergic responses and compared these with the effects of other administration routes, based on our previous findings on the inhibitory effects of CD40-silenced DCs on allergic responses. Methods Mice with allergic rhinitis were treated intranasally, subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, or intravenously with CD40-silenced ovalbumin (OVA)-pulsed DCs that were transfected with CD40 siRNAs and pulsed with OVA antigen. The effects of these DCs on allergic reactions and symptoms were estimated. Results Intranasal, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intravenous administration of OVA-pulsed CD40-silenced DCs inhibited allergic responses and symptoms in mice. Furthermore, intranasal administration of OVA-pulsed CD40-silenced DCs significantly reduced allergic symptoms and the number of eosinophils in the nasal mucosa compared with subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intravenous administration of these DCs. Intranasal administration of OVA-pulsed CD40-silenced DCs resulted in significantly up-regulated IL-10, IL-35, and Foxp3 expression, and enhanced the percentage of CD11c + CD40 − and CD4 + CD25 + cells within the cervical lymph nodes compared to subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intravenous routes of administration. Conclusions We believe that this is the first report to demonstrate that regulatory DCs infiltrate into the cervical lymph nodes after intranasal administration of these cells and that intranasal administration of regulatory DCs is more effective for the induction of tolerance in the nasal mucosa than subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intravenous administration.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
