Research Abstract |
Although several reports have suggested the involvement of mTORC1 in development and function of dendritic cells (DCs), its physiological roles remain obscure. By using mTORC1 signal-deficient mice lacking Raptor, an essential component of mTORC1 signal, specifically in DC lineage (referred to here as RaptorDC-/-), we found that impaired mTORC1 signal resulted in the suppression of IL-10 production in intestinal CD11c+CD11b+ DCs. We also found that RaptorDC-/- mice were highly susceptible to dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis.
