Purpose: To investigate the distribution and clinical outcomes of tumor-infiltrating CD208(+) mature dendritic cells (mDCs) in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Materials And Methods: Using immunohistochemical analysis, the distribution of CD208(+) mDCs in adjacent non-neoplastic tissues (NTs) and tumor tissue, including the tumor stroma (TS) and tumor nest (TN), of 79 patients with OSCC was evaluated. The analysis was quantitative, and the number of positive cells was counted in 5 microscopic high-power fields (×400). At the gene expression level, CD208 expression also was assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Kaplan Meier analyses were used to analyze the prognostic value of tumor-infiltrating CD208(+) mDCs.
Results: The number of tumor-infiltrating CD208(+) mDCs was larger in the TS and TN than in the NTs (P < .0001) and the number of CD208(+) mDCs in the TS was larger in patients with OSCC and lymph node positivity (P < .05). At the gene expression level, CD208 also was upregulated in patients with lymph node positivity (P < .05). The number of infiltrating CD208(+) mDCs was not associated with a patient's survival time.
Conclusions: The number of tumor-infiltrating CD208(+) mDCs in the TS was larger in patients with OSCC and lymph node positivity, but the accumulation of CD208(+) mDCs did not correlate with survival time in patients with OSCC.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasia commonly affecting children with frequent somatic mutations in MAPK pathway genes including BRAF and MAP2K1. Some studies suggest that LCH cells can recruit and modulate inflammatory cells, which could provide reciprocal survival signals. To characterize the immune profile of infiltrating inflammatory cells, and to clarify their participation in LCH pathogenesis, a detailed immunohistochemical analysis was performed.

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) form a key link between innate and adaptive immune responses. The aim of this study is to analyze presence and distribution of immature (im) and mature (m) DCs in gingival tissue samples obtained from patients diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis (AgP), chronic periodontitis (CP), and clinically healthy periodontium (control group).
Methods: Gingival tissue samples obtained from patients with: 1) AgP (aged <35 years); 2) CP (aged ≥35 years); and 3) control group (aged >18 years) (n = 10 per group) were collected.

Background: Interferon (IFN)-α-producing plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), inflammatory CD11c+CD1c- myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) and macrophages have been found to contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Heliotherapy is a well-established treatment modality of this disease, although the details of how the effects are mediated are unknown.
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that exposure to natural sun affects pathogenic DC subsets in lesional skin.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in generating anti-tumor immunity. DC functional defect has been related to the growth and progression of various human cancers. In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the examination of DCs using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with anti-S100 antibody has demonstrated an increased infiltration of DCs into the tumor mass, however, the distribution patterns of DCs at different maturation states in ESCC are not fully evaluated.
