Central tolerance is established through negative selection of self-reactive thymocytes and the induction of T-regulatory cells (T(R)s). The role of thymic dendritic cells (TDCs) in these processes has not been clearly determined. In this study, we demonstrate that in vivo, TDCs not only play a role in negative selection but in the induction of T(R)s. TDCs include two conventional dendritic cell (DC) subtypes, CD8(lo)Sirp alpha(hi/+) (CD8(lo)Sirp alpha(+)) and CD8(hi)Sirp alpha lo/(-) (CD8(lo)Sirp alpha(-)), which have different origins. We found that the CD8(hi)Sirp alpha(+) DCs represent a conventional DC subset that originates from the blood and migrates into the thymus. Moreover, we show that the CD8(lo)Sirp alpha(+) DCs demonstrate a superior capacity to induce TRs in vitro. Finally, using a thymic transplantation system, we demonstrate that the DCs in the periphery can migrate into the thymus, where they efficiently induce T-R generation and negative selection.
