Dendritic cell (DC) apoptosis is an important event that regulates the balance between tolerance and immunity through multiple pathways, and defects in DC apoptosis can trigger autoimmunity. DC apoptosis is also associated with immunosuppression and has been observed under several pathologies and infections. Recent studies indicate that apoptotic DCs can also play an active role in induction of tolerance. This review discusses the regulatory pathways of DC apoptosis, stimuli inducing DC apoptosis, and the implications of DC apoptosis in the induction of immunosuppression and/or tolerance. The Journal of Immunology, 2010, 185: 795-802.
