Synovial tissues are frequent sites of inflammatory disorders in which dendritic cells (DCs) may play an important role. This study examines potential antigen-presenting cells obtained from synovium-rich tissues (SRTs) by vascular perfusion of rat hind limbs with collagenase and further enzymatic digestion of the disarticulated hind paws in vitro. The three sub-populations of interest were: CD45+MHC IIhi, mainly CD11c+ and CD163-; CD45+MHC IIlo, mainly CD11c- and CD163+ and CD45+MHC II-, mainly CD11c- and CD163+. Expression of CD11c and CD163 correlated with ruffled cell-surface (CD11c+CD163-) and highly vacuolated cytoplasm (CD11c-CD163+), respectively. Culture of the CD45+CD163- sub-population in granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) yielded CD45+MHC IIhi CD11c+CD163- cells with veiled morphology, while the large vacuolated cells that expressed CD163 resembled type A synoviocytes in both surface antigen phenotype and morphology. These results demonstrate that SRTs contain indeterminate cells that can differentiate into mature DCs in vitro in response to GM-CSF, plus mature synovial lining macrophages.
