ABSTRACT Using a metacyclic promastigote ear infection model of cutaneous leishmaniasis, we examined the phenotype, parasite load, and cytokine production of dendritic cells in the skin and draining lymph nodes of resistant C57BL/6J and susceptible BALB/c mice. Five dendritic cell populations were isolated from the skin and lymph nodes, and the main difference between the groups of mice was an increased number of plasmacytoid dendritic cells in the lymph nodes of the susceptible mice. Although similar cell types were present in the skin emigrants of both strains, there was a 10-fold larger number of cells in BALB/c mouse skin early in infection than in C57BL/6J mouse skin. None of the dendritic cells in the lymph nodes harbored parasites until 3 weeks after infection, with the Langerhans cells having the largest load and the plasmacytoid dendritic cells having the smallest load but the longest lasting infection. Although parasites could be detected in the lymph nodes a few hours after infection, none of the skin emigrants harbored parasites, indicating that they are not the vehicle that ferries the parasites from the skin to the lymph nodes. The presence of larger numbers of plasmacytoid cells in infected BALB/c mice, the more protracted infection of these cells, and their production of alpha interferon point to a complex and important role for the plasmacytoid cells in leishmaniasis.

Leishmania (L.) amazonensis(La) andL. (V.) braziliensis(Lb) are responsible for a large clinical and immunopathological spectrum in human disease; whileLamay be responsible for anergic disease,Lbinfection leads to cellular hypersensitivity. To better understand the dichotomy in the immune response caused by theseLeishmaniaspecies, we evaluated subsets of dendritic cells (DCs) and T lymphocyte in draining lymph nodes during the course ofLaandLbinfection in BALB/c mice. Our results demonstrated a high involvement of DCs inLainfection, which was characterized by the greater accumulation of Langerhans cells (LCs); conversely,Lbinfection led to an increase in dermal DCs (dDCs) throughout the infection. Considering the T lymphocyte response, an increase of effector, activated, and memory CD4+T-cells was observed inLbinfection. Interleukin- (IL-) 4- and IL-10-producing CD4+and CD8+T-cells were present in bothLaandLbinfection; however, interferon- (IFN-)γ-producing CD4+and CD8+T-cells were detected only inLbinfection. The results suggest that duringLbinfection, the dDCs were the predominant subset of DCs that in turn was associated with the development of Th1 immune response; in contrastLainfection was associated with a preferential accumulation of LCs and total blockage of the development of Th1 immune response.
