Abstract

The Dark Side of Langerhans Cells Several immune cell populations reside in the skin and are thought to provide a protective barrier against infections and to act as sentinels against malignant transformation. However, studies in mice that lack Langerhans cells, a subset of dendritic cells, have suggested that these cells may actually promote tumorigenesis. Using a mouse model of squamous cell carcinoma, Modi et al. (p. 104 ) now reveal how Langerhans cells may promote the transformation of skin epithelial cells. In response to the carcinogen 7,12-dimethylbenz[α]anthracene (DMBA), Langerhans cells increased their expression of the cytochrome P-450 enzyme CYP1B1, which can metabolize DMBA to the mutagenic DMBA- trans -3,4-diol. Thus, besides their functions in regulating the adaptive immune response, Langerhans cells may participate in the metabolism of environmental carcinogens.
